Afro-Brazil and Indigeneity from Pau-Brasil to Antropofagia
Oswald de Andrade’s “Manifesto da Poesia Pau-Brasil” is often viewed as a precursor to the 1928 “Manifesto Antropófago,” establishing a link between avant-garde primitivism and the Antropofagia movement, despite a four-year gap between the texts. This temporal blur obscures differences between works of visual art, like Tarsila do Amaral’s A Negra from 1923, painted during her exploration of Brazilianness in Paris, versus Antropofagia , emerging a…
Crafting Territory in the Choctaw Homelands: Isht ʋskufʋchi Beadwork Sashes
This article shows how isht ʋskufʋchi, Choctaw beaded sashes, resist easy classification as either traditional or purely reactive to colonial pressures. Instead, they embody Choctaw innovation, bridging ancestral cosmological knowledge and shifting geopolitical realities. By wearing sashes in treaty negotiations, Choctaw leaders signaled their positions within transcultural networks. While the sash materials—trade wool and glass beads—reflect col…
Edo Spaces, European Images: Iterations of Art and Architecture in Benin
A comparison of European and African depictions of the Kingdom of Benin from the fifteenth through late nineteenth centuries that reads the two bodies of evidence with and against one another.
Pandemic Design: Art, Space, and Embodiment
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally altered experiences of space and engendered new spatial design tactics. This article discusses DIY pandemic design tactics used by U.S. microbusinesses to reshape embodied experiences of interior retail spaces, in relation to contemporary artworks. Over the course of the pandemic, large corporations developed standardized, mass-produced designs for pandemic wayfinding and interior demarcation. In contrast, …
Performing São Paulo: Flávio de Carvalho and the Experimental City, 1928–1931
In the 1920s and early 1930s, Brazil’s urbanists and intellectuals recognized fundamental tensions between world-making by modernist artists and architects and interventions in urban space by undisciplined urban crowds. In the burgeoning megalopolis of São Paulo, simultaneously center and periphery for a Brazil increasingly embedded within international economic and cultural circuits, civil engineer Flávio de Carvalho created fantastical architec…
Déplacer le peuple: La photographie et les territoires du populaire dans le magazine Habitat du Masp
Cet article examine la manière dont les modernistes brésiliens ont reconnu la culture populaire, et considère plus largement la relation entre populaire et modernisme en Amérique latine. Il fait dialoguer les travaux de Carlos Monsiváis, Marta Traba et Jean Franco avec ceux d'Andreas Huyssen et Tom Crow, pour affirmer que le populaire latino-américain a été interprété comme une fonction de territorialisation et d'incorporation, et positionné entr…
Decentralize! Art, Power, and Space in the New York Art World
Have we witnessed the return of critique in the U.S. art world? Taking the decentralization of art institutions as a tactic of critique, this paper identifies waves of critique in the contemporary art world, with particular attention to New York City in the late 1960s-early 1970s, and the 2010s. Though certain critical aims and strategies have persisted, this period spans an impassable divide: the end of affordable space – for artist studios, gal…
Hélio Oiticica: Folding the frame, of Irene V. Small
In this review of Irene V. Small's book Hélio Oiticica: folding the frame (2016), the author's proposal of understanding "folding the frame" as a formal and conceptual procedure that emerges from the works of the artist themselves is discussed. In addition, the proposal of a History of Art in a contemporary globalized world as a way of avoiding the applying of normative theories from Modernism and the avant-garde, as is the case of Brazil, is ana…
