The installation "Ah, Molécula!" (Ah, Molecule!) by Rio de Janeiro artist Suzana Queiroga consists of three floating inflatable sculptures spatially representing water molecules (H2O). The colorful pieces will be displayed in the reflecting pool near the Museum's main entrance from June 20th to July 25th. The installation is part of the Museum of Tomorrow's Water Week program.
"The possibilities for representing the water molecule in space are remarkable thanks to its well-known structure, characterized by perfect and beautiful symmetry," says Suzana. "Therefore, I opted for a minimalist presentation, using spheres and colors close to the universe of water. The goal is for this conversation between art and science to spark reflection and, consequently, raise public awareness about the water crisis."
The installation is part of the Water Week events at the Museum of Tomorrow, held to bring the public closer to the big questions about the planet's future. The program includes a seminar "Water Crisis in Brazil: yesterday, today and tomorrow", which takes place on June 24th, and with the photographic exhibition "From abundance to scarcity", which can be seen between June 21st and July 31st.
