Brazil’s long engagement with Modernism that its artists feature in the new Tate Modern hang and, increasingly, in the collections of MoMA, the Guggenheim, the Pompidou and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Can foreign collectors and museums sustain Brazil’s art market? The country is in the doldrums, but its artists have never before enjoyed such critical acclaim abroad by JANE MORRIS | 13 September 2016 Rio 2016’s aquatics centre was completely covered by a work of art, a flexible tarpaulin mimicking tiles, by Adriana Varejão (Rio/Andre Motta) Print Email Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Google+ Reddit Rio’s Olympics gave Brazil a temporary lift last month, but attention is now turning back to the country’s grim reality. In the seven years since winning the Olympic bid, Brazil has gone from commodities-fuelled boom to corruption-ridden burn-out. Predictably, Brazil’s art market has stalled, and some galleries have reported their business down by a third.

The show ostensibly seeks to rehistoricize masks as aesthetic objects that are not meant merely for display or concealment, but are also used within a performance context; it attempts to connect contemporary performance practice to objects created in the last century among tribes around the African continent

The show is so complex and sprawling, we had to see it twice to fully mak...

Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche on his paintings, natural creativity, and the art of living a sane life By Dzigar Kongtrul FALL 2007 When we walk into a good antique shop we appreciate the craftsmanship of the pieces. We see the time and skill put into the glass, silver, and wood. Antiques have a quality of richness because in the past artisans had more time to put into their craft—things were not mass-produced, and there was a sense of lineage, a way of doing things. The energy put into the creation of art reflects our own richness and communicates this richness to others. Our appreciation of a beautiful piece of art is not limited to the piece itself—we experience the process that the artist went through as well; it is a transference of consciousness.
