Other Landscapes – Kunstszene Rio de Janeiro

Im Rahmen der Reihe "Kunst in Bewegung - Transatlantische Verflechtungen"

This series of lectures developed jointly by ifa and IAI focuses on contemporary art scenes in Latin America and their transatlantic interconnections.

On the occasion of the exhibition "connect: A Gentil Carioca" at the ifa-Gallery Berlin, Brazilian artists Laura Lima, Márcio Botner and Ernesto Neto present the artistic space A Gentil Carioca, which was founded in Rio de Janeiro by the trio in 2003. The artists will give an insight into the local art scene in Rio de Janeiro by presenting exhibition concepts, public projects and selected artistic views.

The three artists are directors of A Gentil Carioca and founded the artistic space according to their ideas. They have worked as curators, coordinators of educational projects as well as in art education in Brazil.
