As one of the key figures of Brazil's Neo-Concrete movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Lygia Pape developed a specific understanding of geometric abstraction that resulted in a radical new conception of concrete-constructivist art, challenging an overly rigid rationalism by moving toward more subjective, multi-sensorial modes of expression. Marking Pape's first solo exhibition in Germany, this richly illustrated book presents the artist's unusual creative power in all its breadth, drawing on a body of documents that is being published for the first time. Against the backdrop of the tension between Brazil's vibrant avant-garde and the growing political repression through the military dictatorship (1964-1985), Pape's work reflects ethical and socio-political issues and harnesses experimental explorations of not just metaphorical geometric but social space to create poetic manifestations of subtle resistance. Emphasizing the primacy of the sensorial experience of the viewers, Pape went as far as to declare them to be the actual creators of her works.

Inseparavel da personalidade de Oswald de Andrade e da sedicao implicita em seu chamado para a "absorcao do sagrado inimigo", o "Manifesto Antropofago" (1928) representa uma das mais arrumadas alegacoes do modernismo literario no Brasil. Antropofagias: um livro manifesto! convida a (re)ler as diretrizes antropologicas do pensamento oswaldiano e suas declinacoes nas artes e letras brasileiras. Sem pretender ser um documento historico, o carater manifesto deste volume visa marcar uma presenca na analise do consumo cultural que distingue a producao de conteudo estetico do Modernismo, com ensaios que abordam a validade e as mutacoes epistemologicas de um texto em constante dialogo com os contextos critico-historicos em que se desenvolveu a nocao do que significa ser antropofago.

Seit einiger Zeit ist Brasiliens Neokonkretismus in Ausstellungen, Katalogen und Publikationen in Europa prasent. Die Autorin nimmt erstmals auf Deutsch umfassende Werkanalysen vor und stellt den Schlusselcharakter der neokonkreten Praktiken dar. Die Kunst- und Lyrikproduktion der Bewegung fuhrte, so die Autorin, zu einer Umwertung und Neuauslegung des konkret-konstruktivistischen Gedankenguts der europaischen Avantgarden des fruhen 20. Jahrhunderts. Diese Umwertungen schufen in Brasilien erst die Voraussetzungen dafur, haptische und sensorielle Komponenten asthetischen Erlebens zum zentralen Ausgangspunkt kunstlerischer Praxis zu erheben, fur welche die spateren Arbeiten der brasilianischen Avantgarde-Ikonen Lygia Clark und Helio Oiticica bekannt sind. Die Arbeit ist ein wichtiger Beitrag dazu, moderne und zeitgenoessische kunstlerische Praktiken aus Brasilien zu dekolonisieren, denn die Analysen zeigen auf, dass haptisch und plurisensoriell erfahrbare Kunstwerke aus Brasilien eben nicht auf einer angenommenen genuin sensorisch-sensiblen Konstituierung des Menschen in Brasilien beruhen, sondern vielmehr auf einer eigenwilligen, lokalen Rezeption europaischer Avantgardepraktiken.
