About Carmo Johnson Projects

Transiting and carrying out specific projects with a view that brings together the relationships between artists, their work and the environment, occupying itinerant spaces-usual or unusual, in and out of context.

An action that springs from open gaps in the socio-cultural dynamics of Contemporary Art and in dialogue with artists.

Continue to support diversity and expand the awareness of a circular and inclusive economy within the Contemporary Art Market. Re-signifying and re-distributing artistic productions, providing yet another platform for actions, dissemination and for the sale of works of art.

Carmo Johnson

Founder

I studied Art History at the University of Rome - La Sapienza. Later I deepened my interests in art and the art market in London, at the ICA - Institute of Contemporary Art, and after at Sotheby’s, where I internshiped in the Contemporary Art Department.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles where I had professional experiences inside and outside the Contemporary Art world. I am currently living in Brazil and themother of a 14 year old girl. In São Paulo, my projects have always sprung from the open gaps within diversity as was the case with Galeria Logo, which was opened in partnership with Marcelo Secaff and Lucas Ribeiro (Pexão) in 2012.

Between worlds I realize that the itinerant characteristic of my current project has a lot to do with the itinerary of life that I embrace to lead. Back in Brazil, in the pandemic, a relevant factor, to realize that technology would offer us much more flexibility, as long as human relationships and connections are cultivated, so I felt the urge to start over, as I continue to believe in Art as an object of transformation, at all levels and human scales.
