Conferences and talks
“A Month of Brazilian Art at the Modern Art Centre”
The presentation of the book Horizons, on 4 November, marked the beginning of a programme
that took place at the Modern Art Centre until 7 December, a programme that included a cycle
of conversations with international curators and the showing of videos about Brazilian artists.
Jorge Molder was the moderator of a conversation between Waltercio Caldas and Ângelo de Sousa.
Beginning on 6 November, in the Tapestry Room of the Modern Art Centre, a video was shown
about Waltercio Caldas entitled Apaga-te Sésamo. Directed by Miguel Rio Branco, this award-winning
film was part of the “RIOARTE Series” project, composed of 24 videos about contemporary
Brazilian artists, made between 1984 and 2005. The videos were shown in a continuous loop,
from 6 November to 7 December, from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. Videos about the work
of Lygia Clark, Tunga, Cildo Meireles, Lygia Pape, António Dias and José Resende, amongst others,
were all part of the programme of daily video sessions.
The Cycle of Talks about Brazilian Art brought to the Modern Art Centre: Paulo Venancio Filho,
a curator, art critic and teacher, who spoke about “Waltercio Caldas and his Generation of Artists”,
