CONVERSATION PIECES
3 December 2013 – 24 January 2014
Artists:
Ana Luiza Dias Batista, Clara Ianni, Runo Lagomarsino, Paulo Nazareth, Beto Shwafaty, Daniel Steegmann Mangrané, Roberto Winter
Curated by Sophie Goltz
Based on the traditions of modernism in Brazil, the artists of the exhibition Conversation Pieces develop their own post-conceptual approaches. In their works they draw a differentiated picture of the society in Brazil today. An international generation of artists have their say, showing, beyond Euro-centric notions of Latin America, how the current changes in politics, economy and culture can be artistically explored and analyzed. Videos, installations, objects and photography are drawing a line from the Portuguese colonial era in the 16th Century to the urban liberation movements in the 19th and 20th Century, up to the 2016 Olympic Games as a major international event.
