Lygia Clark 萊吉亞·克拉克 (1920-1988) Neo-Concretism Conceptual Art Brazilian

tonykwk39@gmail.com
Lygia Clark Influenced by Constructivism and the Bauhaus, Lygia Clark is in turn remembered for her impact on various art historical movements, especially as a pioneer in participatory art. During her early career in the 1950s, Clark produced geometric, system-based paintings and Constructivist-influenced sculpture. Shortly after, along with artists Amilcar de Castro, Franz Weissmann, Lygia Pape, and poet Ferreira Gullar, Clark co-founded the Neo-Concrete movement. Around this time, she created her iconic “Bichos” (Beasts), metal sculptures that viewers were invited to rearrange. In the 1960s, her work took a conceptual turn as Clark began to create ephemeral and mutable objects. Her late work continued to investigate sensory perception and interaction along themes of psychotherapy and healing.
Lygia Clark (Belo Horizonte, October 23, 1920 – Rio de Janeiro, April 25, 1988) was a Brazilian artist best known for her painting and installation work. She was often associated with the Brazilian Constructivist movements of the mid-20th century and the Tropicalia movement. Along with Brazilian artists Amilcar d In 1953, she became one of the founding members of Rio's Frente group of artists. In 1957, Clark participated in Rio de Janeiro's first National Concrete Art Exhibition. This would be one of Clark's frequent trips to Brazil in order to exhibit her artwork.
In the first decade of her career, Clark devoted her time to painting and sculpture. After 1966, Clark claimed to have abandoned art. In the early 1970s, she taught art at the Sorbonne. During this time, Clark also explored the idea of sensory perception through her art. Her art became a multisensory experience in which the spectator became an active participant. Between 1979 and 1988, Clark moved more toward art therapy than actually creating new works. She used her art therapy to treat psychotic and mildly disturbed patients. Clark returned to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1977. In 1988, she died of a heart attack in her home.
Some critics say her artwork presaged the modern digital information era. Her later works were more abstract and holistic with a focus on psychotherapy and healing.

Contemporary Art, Inheritances from the Colonial Past and the Brazilian Present

Skip ahead to main speaker at 2:33

The Lembrança de Nhô Tim (Souvenir From Massa/Mister Tim) is an artistic object produced in partnership with the city of Igarapé, in the state of Minas Gerais. The project combines a series of interventions proposed by the Afro-Brazilian artist Tiago Gualberto. In addition to the age-old activity of mining, the region stands out due to its proximity to Inhotim, currently the largest center of contemporary art in Brazil. Through recordings and accounts concerning the experiences arising from this artistic project, the artist will seek to trace a portrait of individual and collective memories about the continuities of the past and tensions in the present.

PCA Talks - Laurent Pernot, In Search of Images

“Heterogenous, inhabited by innumerable constellations of questions, his limits remain undetermined. Rather than clear, distinct zones of knowledge and experience, the artist prefers those of doubt and uncertainty, at the borders of reality and imagination. From the conception of installations to the production of static or moving images, his projects take multiple forms through which he explores the realms of human adventure: life and death, the corners of memory, the dimensions of time, the visible and the invisible. Enigmatic and at times spectacular, his work is fueled as much by current research in anthropology, astrophysics or ecology as by references to film, painting and literature.“ Dominique Abensour

Laurent Pernot was born in 1980, and lives and works in Paris. He holds a bachelor degree from the National Studio of Contemporary Art Le Fresnoy. His career has been punctuated with numerous residencies and exhibitions in both France and abroad. He also collaborates in the field of performing arts. In December 2010, Laurent Pernot was awarded the prestigious SAM prize for contemporary art. His first monographic catalog is available on Monografik editions, a second book was published by Editions du Regard. Laurent’s work has been exhibited at the Miro Foundation in Barcelona, the Sketch Gallery in London, the Alvar Aalto Museum in Finland, the Palace of Arts in Belo Horizonte in Brazil, the Lux in Valencia, the Louis Vuitton Cultural Space in Paris, the Palais de Tokyo, the CAB in Grenoble, the Palais Jacques Coeur in Bourges, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the São Paulo Biennial, among others. The artist is represented by Odile Ouizeman Gallery in Paris.

A Ripe Volcano ภูเขาไฟพิโรธ (EXCERPT)

Artist: Taiki Sakpisit (ไทกิ ศักดิ์พิสิษฐ์)
Sound Design: Yasuhiro Morinaga

A Ripe Volcano reflects Bangkok as a site of mental eruption and emotionally devastated land during the heights of terrors, primal fears, trauma, and the darkness of time.

A Ripe Volcano revisits The Rattanakosin Hotel, the site where the military troops captured and tortured the civilians, students and protesters who were hiding inside the hotel during the Black May of 1992; and Rajadamnern Stadium, a Roman amphitheatre styled Muay Thai boxing arena, which was built in 1941-45 during the Second World War and since then has become the theatrical labyrinth of physical and mental explosions.

The work builds around the recollections of human experiences that took place within these spaces and shifts through the mental space distilled from the possessed
memory of wounded time.

SUMMARY
=======
Rio de Janeiro (; Portuguese: [ˈʁi.u d(ʒi) ʒɐˈnejɾu]; River of January), or simply Rio, is the second-most populous municipality in Brazil and the sixth-most populous in the Americas. The metropolis is anchor to the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, the second-most populous metropolitan area in Brazil and sixth-most populous in the Americas. Rio de Janeiro is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's third-most populous state. Part of the city has been designated as a World Heritage Site, named Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea, by UNESCO on 1 July 2012 as a Cultural Landscape.Founded in 1565 by the Portuguese, the city was initially the seat of the Captaincy of Rio de Janeiro, a domain of the Portuguese Empire. Later, in 1763, it became the capital of the State of Brazil, a state of the Portuguese Empire. In 1808, when the Portuguese Royal Court transferred itself from Portugal to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro became the chosen seat of the court of Queen Maria I of Portugal, who subsequently, in 1815, under the leadership of her son, the Prince Regent, and future King João VI of Portugal, raised Brazil to the dignity of a kingdom, within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarves. Rio stayed the capital of the pluricontinental Lusitanian monarchy until 1822, when the War of Brazilian Independence began. This is one of the few instances in history that the capital of a colonising country officially shifted to a city in one of its colonies. Rio de Janeiro subsequently served as the capital of the independent monarchy, the Empire of Brazil, until 1889, and then the capital of a republican Brazil until 1960 when the capital was transferred to Brasília.
Rio de Janeiro has the second largest municipal GDP in the country, and 30th largest in the world in 2008, estimated at about R$343 billion (IBGE, 2008) (nearly US$201 billion). It is headquarters to Brazilian oil, mining, and telecommunications companies, including two of the country's major corporations – Petrobras and Vale – and Latin America's largest telemedia conglomerate, Grupo Globo. The home of many universities and institutes, it is the second-largest center of research and development in Brazil, accounting for 17% of national scientific output according to 2005 data. Despite the high perception of crime, the city has a lower incidence of crime than Northeast Brazil, but it is far more criminalized than the south region of Brazil, which is considered the safest in the country.Rio de Janeiro is one of the most visited cities in the Southern Hemisphere and is known for its natural settings, Carnival, samba, bossa nova, and balneario beaches such as Barra da Tijuca, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. In addition to the beaches, some of the most famous landmarks include the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado mountain, named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Sugarloaf Mountain with its cable car; the Sambódromo (Sambadrome), a permanent grandstand-lined parade avenue which is used during Carnival; and Maracanã Stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums. Rio de Janeiro was the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics, making the city the first South American and Portuguese-speaking city to ever host the events, and the third time the Olympics were held in a Southern Hemisphere city. The Maracanã Stadium held the finals of the 1950 and 2014 FIFA World Cups, the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the XV Pan American Games.

Cidadania global e cosmopolitismo com Bela Feldman-Bianco e Rossana Rocha Reis

Debate “Cidadania global e cosmopolitismo: Quais são os caminhos para a construção de uma ordem cosmopolita?” com Bela Feldman-Bianco e Rossana Rocha Reis realizado durante o Encontro Internacional “Pensar o futuro: as histórias que tecemos e as histórias que queremos”, em fevereiro de 2017 no Centro de Pesquisa e Formação do Sesc.

O Encontro reuniu pensadores, pesquisadores e profissionais atuantes nos temas fundamentais que emergem do tempo contemporâneo e de um panorama de incertezas, composto por múltiplas possibilidades e temporalidades. Trata-se da reflexão sobre questões contundentes que surgem da realidade presente e se afastam de uma noção de futuro seguro e sem perspectivas claras sobre o porvir.

Com a intenção de criar um espaço de reflexão sobre questões fundamentais da contemporaneidade, esse Encontro compôs seu quadro de discussões a partir de eixos conceituais, propostos nas seguintes perguntas:

• Como vivermos juntos no século XXI?
• Para onde a aceleração da vida atual nos leva? O que vem depois da velocidade do tempo pós-moderno?
• Qual o futuro do homo economicus? Como produzir uma ética e moral para além do paradigma do desenvolvimento econômico?
• Depois das vanguardas artísticas ainda restam utopias?
• Quais são os caminhos para a construção de uma ordem cosmopolita?
• Como pensar as questões ambientais integradas a produção da vida na contemporaneidade, sendo que a maior parte da população mundial vive nas cidades?

Bela Feldman-Bianco
Phd em Antropologia (Columbia) com pós-doutorado em História (Yale), e professora da UNICAMP. Ocupou as cátedras de Estudos Portugueses (1987-1991) e Hélio e Amélia Pedrosa (2008) na UMass-Dartmouth (USA) e a Cátedra UNESCO/Memorial da América latina (2015). Suas pesquisas comparativas e publicações sobre migrantes transnacionais e cidades (do Brasil, Portugal e USA) relacionam cultura e poder, as identidades e suas intersecções de gênero, raça, classe, nação e globalização.

Rossana Rocha Reis é professora do Departamento de Ciência Política e do Instituto de Relações Internacionais da Universidade de São Paulo. É autora dos livros Políticas de nacionalidade e imigração na França e nos Estados Unidos e Política de direitos humanos, ambos da editora Hucitec.

Provoking Attention Conference - Panel 2

Moderator: Ourida Mostefai, French Studies, Brown University

David Russell, Corpus Christi College/Oxford University – “Ruskin's Vision”

David Russell will examine how Ruskin's writing insists on the urgency of images - ethical, social and aesthetic - by paying to them an iconoclastic mode of attention.


Sergio Delgado, Harvard University – “Lygia Clark, At Home with Objects”

Some notes on Lygia Clark's relational objects, the ephemeral objects she constructed out of household materials from the 1960s onwards, building on her experiments in participation and abstraction in art. Regression and ambiguity are the key terms of my reading of Clark's relational objects, as are the writings of Marion Milner and José Bleger, as well as Clark's own reading of object relations theory. Attention as it is cultivated in the pre-symbolic, regressive engagement that Clark's relational objects demand is the principal focus of my contribution. The rise of consumer culture and the bourgeoning presence of objects of consumption in everyday life is the background for my engagement with objects relations theory and Clark's relational objects.

SUMMARY
=======
Portuguese (português or, in full, língua portuguesa) is a Western Romance language originating in the Iberian Peninsula. It is the sole official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, and São Tomé and Príncipe. It also has co-official language status in East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Macau in China. As the result of expansion during colonial times, a cultural presence of Portuguese and Portuguese creole speakers are also found in Goa, Daman and Diu in India; in Batticaloa on the east coast of Sri Lanka; in the Indonesian island of Flores; in the Malacca state of Malaysia; and the ABC islands in the Caribbean where Papiamento is spoken, while Cape Verdean Creole is the most widely spoken Portuguese-based Creole. A Portuguese-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Lusophone in both English and Portuguese.
Portuguese is part of the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several dialects of Vulgar Latin in the medieval Kingdom of Galicia and the County of Portugal, and has kept some Celtic phonology and lexicon. With approximately 215 to 220 million native speakers and 250 million total speakers, Portuguese is usually listed as the sixth most natively spoken language in the world, the third-most spoken European language in the world in terms of native speakers, and the most spoken language in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also the most spoken language in South America and the second-most spoken in Latin America after Spanish, one of the 10 most spoken languages in Africa and is an official language of the European Union, Mercosur, OAS, ECOWAS and the African Union.

Na mesa Aproximações ao perspectivismo foram discutidas questões como: o que traz de novo o perspectivismo ameríndio, tal como teorizado por Viveiros de Castro, para a Antropologia, seu campo de origem, mas também para as demais ciências humanas? Viveiros de Castro, também filósofo? Viveiros de Castro, pensador político?

A abertura do seminário contou com falas de Danilo Santos de Miranda, diretor regional do Sesc São Paulo, Eduardo Sterzi e Veronica Stigger, curadores da exposição, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, antropólogo e André Vallias, lendo o poema Totem.

Foram dois dias do evento que reuniu antropólogos e pesquisadores de outras áreas, especialmente do campo artístico, com o objetivo de analisar o alcance da obra de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro e sua teoria no pensamento contemporâneo.

Al salir de los puestos asignados, los museos tienen la capacidad de tender puentes con socios no tradicionales (como un geriátrico, una biblioteca o una prisión) y movilizar acciones colectivas para cambiar una situación dada. Se explorarán experiencias donde la colaboración condujo a la transformación organizacional e influyó en nuevas políticas públicas.

Museums can build bridges between diverse community stakeholders to increase their community impact by working with non-traditional partners (libraries, prisons, nursing homes, etc.). Examples will be shared of unique collaborations that have led to organizational transformation and influenced new public policies.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
São Paulo (; Portuguese pronunciation: [sɐ̃w̃ ˈpawlu] (listen)) is a municipality in the Southeast Region of Brazil. The metropolis is an alpha global city (as listed by the GaWC) and the most populous city in Brazil, the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, besides being the largest Portuguese-speaking city in the world. The municipality is also the Earth's 11th largest city proper by population. The city is the capital of the surrounding state of São Paulo, one of the most populous and wealthiest states in Brazil. It exerts strong international influences in commerce, finance, arts and entertainment. The name of the city honors the Apostle, Saint Paul of Tarsus. The city's metropolitan area, the Greater São Paulo, ranks as the most populous in Brazil and the 12th most populous on Earth. The process of conurbation between the metropolitan areas located around the Greater São Paulo (Campinas, Santos, Sorocaba and the Paraíba Valley) created the São Paulo Macrometropolis, a megalopolis with more than 30 million inhabitants, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.Having the largest economy by GDP in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere, the city is home to the São Paulo Stock Exchange. Paulista Avenue is the economic core of São Paulo. The city has the 11th largest GDP in the world, representing alone 10.7% of all Brazilian GDP and 36% of the production of goods and services in the state of São Paulo, being home to 63% of established multinationals in Brazil, and has been responsible for 28% of the national scientific production in 2005. With a GDP of US$477 billion, the São Paulo city alone would have ranked 26th globally compared with countries by 2017 estimates.The metropolis is also home to several of the tallest skyscrapers in Brazil, including the Mirante do Vale, Edifício Itália, Banespa, North Tower and many others. The city has cultural, economic and political influence both nationally and internationally. It is home to monuments, parks and museums such as the Latin American Memorial, the Ibirapuera Park, Museum of Ipiranga, São Paulo Museum of Art, and the Museum of the Portuguese Language. The city holds events like the São Paulo Jazz Festival, São Paulo Art Biennial, the Brazilian Grand Prix, São Paulo Fashion Week and the ATP Brasil Open. The São Paulo Gay Pride Parade rivals the New York City Pride March as the largest gay pride parade in the world. It is headquarters of the Brazilian television networks Band, Gazeta, and RecordTV.
São Paulo is a cosmopolitan, melting pot city, home to the largest Arab, Italian, and Japanese diasporas, with examples including ethnic neighborhoods of Mercado, Bixiga, and Liberdade respectively. São Paulo is also home to the largest Jewish population in Brazil, with about 75,000 Jews. In 2016, inhabitants of the city were native to over 200 different countries. People from the city are known as paulistanos, while paulistas designates anyone from the state, including the paulistanos. The city's Latin motto, which it has shared with the battleship and the aircraft carrier named after it, is Non ducor, duco, which translates as I am not led, I lead. The city, which is also colloquially known as Sampa or Terra da Garoa (Land of Drizzle), is known for its unreliable weather, the size of its helicopter fleet, its architecture, gastronomy, severe traffic congestion and skyscrapers. São Paulo was one of the host cities of the 1950 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, the city hosted the IV Pan American Games and the São Paulo Indy 300.

Mesa 9 - Ativismo das comunidades

Palestra de Joshua David, Robert Hammond e Lisa Switkin, sobre o High Line. Debate com Alexandre Lafer Frankel e Guilherme Wisnik, mediado por Raul Juste Lores.

A ONG nova-iorquina Friends of the High Line dividirá sua experiência na transformação de uma linha ferroviária abandonada em um parque elevado. Após ser desativada, a High Line tornou-se um problema urbano durante décadas, e seria demolida. A ONG, porém, catalisou a consciência do público e coordenou iniciativas políticas e fundos para gerir a implantação do parque. Participaram do encontro os arquitetos responsáveis por essa internacionalmente celebrada área verde de 2,33 quilômetros. A mesa incluirá uma discussão sobre projetos comunitários em São Paulo.
