The show brings together 53 works in printmaking from both MAC USP and US institutions, with Terra Foundation granting the resources that made possible the exhibition and the catalog, including the loan of works from its own collection and from two other museums: the Brooklyn Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. MAC USP, FAPESP and CAPES took the charge of providing the funds for the conference and bringing to São Paulo art historian Christina Weyl, the minicourse lecturer at the museum. The exhibition has its origins in the research by Carolina Rossetti de Toledo for her Master thesis on the Nelson Rockefeller (1908-1979) donations to encourage the creation of modern art museums in Brazil. The research has found that the engravings now gathered in the MAC USP collection here exhibited were donated to the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM) by Rockefeller in 1951. The experiments made by Atelier 17 go far beyond the borders of the United States of America and Europe, with echoes on the production of Brazilian artists at the time, such as Geraldo de Barros and Lívio Abramo (these names having large presence in the MAC USP collection). In summary, the research that supports the exhibition and its developments sheds light on a significant chapter in the Brazilian art and the exchanges that have made possible the putting together of the MAC USP collection. 4 Elizabeth Glassman President & CEO Terra Foundation for American Art Businessman and art collector Daniel J. Terra (1911-1996) only began collecting prints during the final years of his life. In a very short time, however, he was able to assemble a small but representative collection of important impressions by some of the United States’ greatest printmakers. The holdings include, among others, Mary Cassatt, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Arthur Wesley Dow, John Marin, and, of course, Stanley William Hayter. Dan Terra, a man committed to international conversation, would certainly be pleased to see prints from his collection exhibited in dialogue with their counterparts from Brazil. In this regard, Nelson Rockefeller’s 1951 gift of U.S. prints to the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo has provided a marvelous opportunity to assess key trends in mid-twentieth century printmaking as these ideas percolated throughout the Americas, partly a result of Hayter’s influence, which this exhibition also seeks to examine in greater depth. We are particularly enthusiastic to present these rarely seen works from the Terra Foundation collection, especially in conversation with prints by Brazilian artists from the same period. In addition we thank the Art Institute of Chicago and the Brooklyn Museum for their generous loans. Furthermore, we welcome the opportunity to work again in the cosmopolitan art milieu of São Paulo, where in the 2015-2016 season we partnered to present the award-winning exhibition, Paisagem nas Américas: Pinturas da Terra do Fogo ao Ártico, co-organized by the Pinacoteca of State of São Paulo, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Terra Foundation. In fact, it was during the opening of that exhibition that this current project was first discussed between the exhibition’s curators. Since that time, our connections with Brazilian colleagues and institutions have only grown. It is especially gratifying that through projects such as this, colleagues from across the Americas engage deeply in ways that will surely lead to future conversations in Brazil and across the continents. This exhibition has been a close collaboration between curators, registrars, designers, and educators at MAC USP and the Terra Foundation for American Art. With its bilingual publication, an international conference, and related mini-course, the exhibition also fulfills our goal to align the use of our collection with teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Thus, we thank our partners at the MAC USP for this rich partnership, so expertly layered with lectures, classroom teaching, and the close study of objects. 5 SUMMARY Ana Magalhães 08 Atelier 17 in the Tropic of Capricorn.

The Museum of Modern Art (MAM), São Paulo Biennial, and American Printmaking as Viewed from Brazil1 Ana Magalhães 1 This publication is a record of both the exhibition and the international conference, organized in partnership between the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of São Paulo (MAC USP) and the Terra Foundation for American Art, which takes as its theme Atelier 17 as a hub of modern printmaking between the United States and Brazil in the 1950s. It was made possible by two elements: scholarly research and the resources to support the loans, not only from the Terra Foundation, but from two other institutions in the United States: The Brooklyn Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. Support from the Terra Foundation was also given to provide all the resources to the preparation of the exhibition and respective publication, whereas MAC USP, as a counterpart, searched for resources to the conference and to bring art historian, Christina Weyl, to give a minicourse at the Museum, between April 15 and 18, 2019. Through this partnership, São Paulo will see for the first time the impressive collection of American prints gathered by the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) through important donations, in comparison to a group of works that give the Brazilian audience a panorama of the making of American print collections, in those years, and their impact on the Brazilian artistic milieu.

This issue examines the presence of surveillance around us— from the way we are being monitored in the physical and virtual world, to the potential of using the data we generate to redefine our relationship to the built environment. Organized as a sequence of our relationship with data, the contributions address monitoring, collecting, archiving, and using the traces that we leave, followed by camouflaging and deleting the traces that we leave. By exploring different meanings of surveillance, this issue seeks to generate a constructive conversation about the history, policies, tools, and applications of the information that we generate and how those aspects are manifested in our daily lives. MAS Context is a quarterly journal that addresses issues that affect the urban context. Each issue delivers a comprehensive view of a single topic through the active participation of people from different fields and different perspectives who, together, instigate the debate.

  • A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture
    COVERFEATURE THE PAAMPROVINCETOWN ART ASSOCIATION AND MUSEUM 2014 A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture By Christopher Busa Certainly it is impossible to capture in a few pages a century of creative activity, with all the long hours in the studio, caught between doubt and decision, that hundreds of artists of the area have devoted to making art, but we can isolate some crucial directions, key figures, and salient issues that motivate artists to make art. We can also show why Provincetown has been sought out by so many of the nation’s notable artists, performers, and writers as a gathering place for creative activity. At the center of this activity, the Provincetown Art Associ- ation, before it became an accredited museum, orga- nized the solitary efforts of artists in their studios to share their work with an appreciative pub- lic, offering the dynamic back-and-forth that pushes achievement into social validation. Without this audience, artists suffer from lack of recognition. Perhaps personal stories are the best way to describe PAAM’s immense contribution, since people have always been the true life source of this iconic institution. 40 PROVINCETOWNARTS 2014 ABOVE: (LEFT) PAAM IN 2014 PHOTO BY JAMES ZIMMERMAN, (righT) PAA IN 1950 PHOTO BY GEORGE YATER OPPOSITE PAGE: (LEFT) LUCY L’ENGLE (1889–1978) AND AGNES WEINRICH (1873–1946), 1933 MODERN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE COVER (PAA), 8.5 BY 5.5 INCHES PAAM ARCHIVES (righT) CHARLES W.
