Pavilhão das Culturas Brasileiras (Pavilion of Brazilian Cultures), Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo, April-November 2010.
Chief-curator
Pure mixtures celebrated the diversity of Brazilian culture fashioning dialogs between literate and illiterate or erudite and popular cultures, to show how both are mutually nurtured in a constant process of redefinition and recreation. The usable installation called “Vive la difference”, with 75 stools made by Indians, communities of craftsmen and designers from all over the country, opened the exhibition. A historical module – with Vera Cardim as co-curator – synthesized the country’s cultural history and showed that much has been done to learn, document and safeguard the cultural diversity of Brazil, by names such as Mario de Andrade, Rossini Tavares de Lima, Berta Ribeiro, Darcy Ribeiro, Lina Bo Bardi, Gilberto Freyre, Edison Carneiro, Aloisio Magalhães, Lelia Coelho Frota, Janete Costa, Jacques van de Beuque and Ruth Cardoso, among others. “Fragments of a dialogue”, with José Alberto Nemer as co-curator, presented the conceptual framework of the Pavilion. Adélia Borges was the curator, Cristiana Barreto the assistant chief-curator and José Alberto Nemer curator. Exhibition design by Pedro Mendes da Rocha.
