Galerie Dauphine, 1st floor
until November 27th 2022
The exhibition Klaxon-mania: Centenary of the São Paulo Modern Art Week, 1922 – Paris 2022 presents a selection of works by contemporary Brazilian artists who question the influence of the São Paulo Modern Art Week. São Paulo from 1922 until today.
Artists Ana Luiza Rodrigues, Antonio Sergio Moreira, Frans Krajcberg, Gonçalo Ivo, José Diniz, Juan Esteves, Lina Bo Bardi, Lita Cerqueira, Lívia Melzi and Niura Bellavinha take a fresh look, not only at past Brazilian art but also at art today, through their creative works and stories.
Like the Marché Dauphine, the Dauphine gallery, a place of aesthetic and human encounters, illustrates the possible mixing of cultures, as well as proposals for associations and emotions. It very quickly became clear that the gallery is hosting this exhibition which brings together the past, the present and the future by showing the influences of the past on current creation, creations that are the heritage of tomorrow. In the heart of the Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen, the Marché Dauphine is a place that constantly reviews history and our relationship to art and design.
Curator and Scenography: Ricardo Fernandes
Klaxon magazine, the main Brazilian magazine of Modernism published between 1922 and 1929 is at the heart of the reflections initiated on the occasion of this exhibition. Conceived as an intellectual, political and artistic alert of the time; this support brought together the own vision of the actors of the Modern Art Week in their multiple original manifestations. The following have collaborated in the journal: Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade, Di Cavalcanti, Tarsila do Amaral, Anita Malfatti, Menotti Del Picchia.
The selection of works in the exhibition initiates a discussion of the internal and external influences Modern Art Week has had on artists since the turn of the 20th century and reaffirms the importance for contemporary artists to find their own path, always inspired by the cultural anthropophagy proposed by their compatriots at the beginning of the last century.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, France has been one of Brazil’s most important cultural partners. This exhibition also reveals the cultural exchanges between Brazil and France over the years. The beginning of the 20th century was marked by a new generation of artists determined to establish themselves in the fields of music, literature and the visual arts. Indeed, at this time, several Brazilian artists spent long periods in France to study. Upon their return to Brazil, they found that rediscovering their own creative processes would generate a better understanding of Brazilian culture from its origins.
