One of the most important milestones of Brazilian Modernism, the Week of 22, will turn 100 years old and the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil anticipates the celebrations from September 1st with the Brasilidade Pós-Modernismo exhibition.
Curated by Tereza de Arruda, the exhibition draws attention to the various characteristics of contemporary Brazilian art today, whose existence is due, in part, to the legacy of cultural artistic boldness proposed by Modernism.
The public will be able to see works by 51 artists from different generations that make up the body of the exhibition, including Adriana Varejão, Anna Bella Geiger, Arnaldo Antunes, Cildo Meireles, Daniel Lie, Ernesto Neto, Ge Viana, Jaider Esbell, Rosana Paulino and Tunga .
The oldest pieces date back to the 60s, the height of tropicalism, and some, fresh from the oven, will be exhibited for the first time.
The exhibition features paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures, installations and new media. According to Tereza de Arruda, through this plural set of works, “Brazilianity appears diverse and mixed, regional and cosmopolitan, popular and erudite, folkloric and urban”.
To bring the public even closer to the Week of 22, a series of free activities will be developed throughout the exhibition period in the Social Space of the CCBB Educational Program – Art and Education led by educators from the JA.CA art and technology center. There will also be a webapp with a comprehensive set of exhibition content, ensuring accessibility for everyone.
