On May 28, Palácio Tangará hosted the premiere of the Gallery Exclusive Sessions. One hundred guests in a single night. Directors and partners from the five studios featured in the series, the press, and the brands that are part of the project. Jacobsen Arquitetura, Arthur Casas, Studio MK27, Fernanda Marques, and TETRO were all present, brought together for the first time at the same gathering.
The architects arrived at Palácio Tangará in BMW cars, official partner of the Gallery Exclusive Sessions. The arrival is part of the experience Gallery designs for its events, always exclusive and marked by the presence of a select audience.
Guests watched the extended trailer of the series, which revealed the full scope of the project.
The Gallery Exclusive Sessions showcase Brazilian architecture at its highest level. The night at Palácio Tangará was the first official launch of the series circuit, conceived as a premiere experience. The purpose was to bring together, in one space, the press, the brands, and the studios behind the project. A moment of recognition for those who are part of it.
The Gallery Exclusive Sessions are private screenings, conceived for settings where architecture is part of the experience, before a select audience of architects, clients, and invited brands. @dellannooficial signs the night as master sponsor, alongside @alleengenharia, @miele, @decaoficial, @homesphere.com.br and @pilarhomes_, @theledoficial, @projetoaluminio, @bmw and @autostarbmw.
That night at Palácio Tangará, each studio received The Gallery Honour. To receive it is to have one's work recognised and preserved alongside the names that define architecture, in a collection built over the years, one by one. It is the physical proof of that belonging.
The Gallery Honour is the highest distinction bestowed by Gallery. More than an object, it represents an architect's entry into its collection, the body of names and works that Gallery recognises as permanent in the history of architecture.
The making of the object carries the same principle. The Gallery Honour is crafted from 304 stainless steel and is born entirely from reclaimed materials. Its base is solid cabreúva, wood salvaged from a dismantled building in Praia da Baleia, Brazil, which still releases its scent when worked. The tray is made from brass shavings, a by-product of turning processes, bound together by a bioplastic developed from seaweed. What would have been discarded becomes permanence. The same idea that drives a collection, to keep what deserves to remain. The piece was created by @atelier_bk.
The night also unveiled Gallery's upcoming productions. Among them, Entrelinhas, a feature film on Oscar Niemeyer, scheduled for release in December 2027, marking the architect's 120th anniversary. Gabriel Alves, Gallery's content director, presented the details of the project. A feature film devoted to the life of architecture's greatest name.
"It was an incredible opportunity to present the Entrelinhas project tonight. The preview we showed today is only the beginning of what will undoubtedly be Gallery's most ambitious project. It took two years of work to secure access to an unprecedented archive on the life and work of Oscar Niemeyer. We will soon announce partnerships with global technology and cultural institutions that will take the project to new heights. Today, Niemeyer is not only an icon of our national identity, he is an icon of architecture for the entire world. To tell his story is to amplify his legacy for generations to come." Gabriel Alves, Content Director, Gallery
The gathering also brought together the project's sponsors, who had the opportunity to share their expectations, their involvement, and their outlook for the second quarter of 2026. A moment that made clear the synergy between the studios and the brands present.
