Jonathas de Andrade Exhibition
Alexander and Bonin
This event has ended.
Alexander and Bonin announces Jonathas de Andrade’s first one-person exhibition in North America. The installations, sculpture and photographic works to be exhibited date from 2013 to 2015 and address socio-economic issues in contemporary Brazil.
In two multi-part installations, (Cartazes para o Museu do Homem do Nordeste and 40 nego bom é1 real), both from 2013, Andrade questions the influential but controversial ideas of the Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre, particularly as expressed in his 1933 publication Casa-Grande e Senzala (The Master and the Slave). In this text, Freyre suggests a lived experience of racial-democracy in Brazil, which he believed to be a result of miscegenation between Portuguese colonizers, Africans, and Native Brazilians.
