Curated by Julieta González and Pablo León de Barra, the third edition of ArtRio's SOLO program offered an interpretation of the 1959 work "Vision of Paradise: the edenic motives behind the discovery and colonization of Brazil," by the sociologist Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda. The 19 artists represented in the project, located at warehouse 2 at Pier Mauá, collectively represent the era of discovery and the related association of Brazil with the biblical Garden of Eden.
