Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 1939, Regina Silveira’s installations, sculptures, prints and photography have intrigued the international art community since the 1970s. Renowned for her parodic explorations of space through geometric constructs, Silveiraʼs work is celebrated for both its conceptual rigor and formal impact. Utilizing technology and graphic manipulation, her art examines the ephemeral nature of the sculptural object, dissolving space and time. Inside the gallery context, her self-conscious role as both an artist and craftsman has led to the development of a formal language that has impacted her contemporaries; outside the gallery context, her large-scale public installations have inspired new perspectives on space, materiality, and visual parody.

Silveira’s artwork was the subject of a retrospective at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil; in 2009, the Koge Museum of Art in Public Spaces, Denmark, presented a retrospective of Silveira’s public projects.

The artist has exhibited throughout Europe and the Americas, including solo exhibitions at the Museo de Antioquia, Medelin, Colombia (2008); Centro Cultural do Banco Brasil, Brasilia (2007); Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, OR (2007); Museo de Arte del Banco de la Republica, Bogota, Colombia (2007); Museu Vale do Rio Doce, Vila Velha, Brazil (2007); Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (2007); Centro Cultural Telmar, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2006); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain (2005); Centro Cultural España, Montevideo, Uruguay (2004); Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, DC (2000); Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Argentina (1998); Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA (1996); Bass Museum, Miami, FL (1992); Queens Museum of Art, New York (1992).
