Institutional Projects
From 2020 to 2025, Juca Máximo directed one of the largest independent art spaces in Brazil (1,200 m²), presenting a continuous program of authorial exhibitions. The gallery functioned as both a creative laboratory and exhibition venue, hosting large-scale projects such as Energy (2021/22), Omnes (2024), and Sentire Terrarum (2025). This independent space played a central role in developing the artist’s conceptual language and establishing a strong institutional presence in Brazil.
