Ibirapuera: Modernidades Sobrepostas
09/04/2014 — 10/18/2015
Oca do Ibirapuera, São Paulo, SP
The concept and design of architectural and landscape projects of Oscar Niemeyer and Burle Marx to the most important park in the city of São Paulo in drawings, photographs, models, panels, plans and maps. The show establishes a relationship between the park and the new period of modern architecture that begins to establish in Brazil in the year of its inauguration in 1954. The curators Rodrigo Queiroz and Anne Barone selected four panels present in the first exhibition held at Oca, event who was part of the celebrations of the fourth centenary of the Foundation of São Paulo.
“Like a kind of modern clearing in the suburbs, the buildings in Ibirapuera Park came at the same time as São Paulo was experiencing a fast period of growth. (…)The creation of Ibirapuera Park ushered in a new level of awareness about our modern condition that reached beyond representation detached from the real world, conferring a unique aesthetic meaning to all domains of life, from the visual arts to urbanism.” Rodrigo Queiroz and Ana Barone curators
