Art Berlin — Cuttings from Contemporary Brazilian Art
09/27/2018 — 09/30/2018
Tempelhof Airport, Berlim, Alemanha
The exhibition Cuttings from Contemporary Brazilian Art brings together visual artists from different generations, grouped around the themes of Afro-Rio, Colour and History/Knowledge.
Afro-Rio is characterized by works that address aspects of European colonization and African inheritance in Carioca culture, produced by the artists Arjan Martins, Maxwell Alexandre and Adriana Varejão.
Historically, in Brazil, it has always been possible to observe a vast diversity of chromatic projects which operate in the political and sensitive fields. Colour appears as a founding element in the works of the four artists selected: Beatriz Milhazes, Eduardo Sued, Luiz Zerbini and Miguel Rio Branco.
In History/Knowledge, the artists Otavio Schipper and Daniel Lannes place art, knowledge and history in dialogue with each other, using different approaches.
The three centres of the show were organized with the intention of stimulating readings and reflections on aspects of Brazilian art together with the audience of Art Berlin.
The curators are Paulo Herkenhoff and Luiza Mello.
