Artebrasileiros Issue 56 Explores Brazilian Art History, Bienal Anniversary, and Contemporary Critiques
Artebrasileiros published its 56th issue featuring multiple critical essays on Brazilian art and institutions. The São Paulo Bienal marks its 70th anniversary, with analysis examining both its achievements and missteps throughout its history. Artist Rosângela Rennó's work is discussed in relation to intertwined temporalities, while Alfredo Jaar's practice addresses the politics of images. Recent paintings by No Martins receive attention, and the Museu Paulista is presented as a significant site for historical reconsideration. The Museu Casa do Pontal has secured a new, stable headquarters. A critique labeled "Bienal da esperança" argues against romanticizing catastrophes. The edition also includes political poetics from Frestas and contributions from Carolina de Jesus. All content appears in the Brazilian publication Artebrasileiros.
