As práticas expositivas de Lina Bo Bardi sobre a arte no Brasil

Abstract

This research analyzes the curatorial productions of the architect Lina Bo Bardi on Art in Brazil, more specifically those that are directly related to geopolitical issues and whose objective is to detect a genuine art, in the period from 1959 to 1969 - times of strong influence of the Project Economic and Cultural of Bahia. For this, it is considered that the aspects related to cultural identity, race and colonialism still permeate the History of Brazilian Art and place at the heart of the discussions the possible places that these exhibition practices may occupy in the History of Western Art. In this sense, we seek to identify how these modes of artistic insertion were and are articulated in the following places of art and Eurocentric views: in the New World (in the 18th century), Third World and Peripheral (in the 1980s), Emerging (with the globalization in the 1990s) and in the exhibition circuits of Western Art. This time, such questions make up the scope of this study and promote critical crossing points between the architect-curator's proposals and the examination of the main exhibitions that preceded and unfolded her performance after the year 1969
