Body: 

The first group of works in the exhibition offers a journey through modern art, beginning in the early twentieth century with Picasso and the invention of cubism and Duchamp and the questions surrounding the readymade. The rapid and breathtaking succession of avant-garde movements, which invented new ways of understanding space, are represented in groups of works devoted to dadaism, constructivism, neoplasticism, surrealism and abstraction-création.

Angela Detanico, Rafael Lain. Amplitude
Body: 

Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) began exhibiting in 2001. They currently live and work in Paris. Their work can be related to several art trends that gave life to Brazilian modernist avant-garde movements such as concrete art, the visual poetry of the Noigandres group or digital art. However, since they are living at a different time, a time when many aspects of these movements are part of everyday life, making reference to them introduces a playful, if not ironical, dimension that derives from the ambiguity created by those works.

No Fly Zone. Unlimited Mileage.
Body: 

The Museu Coleção Berardo presents No Fly Zone, an exhibition dedicated to the youthful artistic scene in Angola. This exhibition not only signals the new way of life in Angola after its decolonisation and war, but also determines a position within the vexed arena of cultural heritage and its redefinition; the migration of conflicts and its feedback, the position of the artist and his or her production in a world that is continuously swelling beyond the bounds of the known, the recognisable and the lived, now addressed by these new leading figures.
