The best photography and critical writing produced in Brazil today.
This edition of Aperture features some of the best photography and
critical writing being produced in Brazil today, as seen through
the prism of the dynamic city of São Paulo. Working in
collaboration with guest editor Thyago Nogueira, editor of
Brazilian photography magazine ZUM and head of the Contemporary
Photography Department at Instituto Moreira Salles in São Paulo,
this timely issue features portfolios of great photography and
writing by Brazilian curators, critics and historians, as well as
highlights from the leading institutions and galleries of the
largest city in the largest country in South America. In the Words
section, Sérgio Burgisurveys the city's artistic activity across
the twentieth century; Natalia Brizuela tells the story of Hercule
Florence, who pioneered an early form of photography; Ronaldo
Entler presents five politically engaged photography collectives;
Cassiano Elek Machado reviews one record of the city's nuances and
conflicts as preserved in photobooks; and Silas Martà looks at a
new network of independent exhibition venues, residences, and
galleries. The Pictures section features Christopher Phillips on
Caio Reisewitz's lush imagery; HeloÃsa Espada on Geraldo de
Barros's post-modern photographs; Agnaldo Farias on Bárbara
Wagner's alternate version of Afro-Brazilian performance groups;
Tobi Maier introduces conceptual artist Hudinilson Urbano Jr.;
Rodrigo Moura on Mauro Restiffe’s photographs of Oscar
Niemeyer’s funeral; Ana Maria Maia on Jonathas de Andrade's
subtly subversive Education for Adults posters; Sarah Hermanson
