Our museum is commemorating its first centenary this year. We report to the Secretary of State for Culture of the Government of the State of São Paolo and constitute the oldest art museum in the city. We now have more than six thousand works in our collection, essentially of Brazilian art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and two exhibition spaces. We currently have several exhibitions that I hope you will have the opportunity to visit. In this building, the Pinacoteca Luz, we have an exhibition of Argentinian artist Xul Solar, which is a joint venture with the Museum of Latin-American Art of Buenos Aires – MALBA; a retrospective of the Brazilian artist of Italian origin Anna Maria Maiolino, a presentation of the Brasiliana collection, constituted by works of travelling artists who spent time in Brazil in the nineteenth centuries, pertaining to the Foundation Estudar, and on the second floor, an overview of our collection, with over 1,000 works on display. On the same floor as this conference, we have two photography exhibitions: one by Cuban photographer Jorge Luis Alvares Pupo, and the other by Brazilian photographer Gisela Martins, that recovers much of the influence and importance of African culture in Brazil. In our second building, called Estação Pinacoteca, we are currently displaying the exhibition Portugal Novo, organised by the Arts Institute of the Ministry of Culture of Portugal, concerning Portuguese contemporary art, as well as two exhibitions of engravings by leading figures in Brazilian graphic art: Marcio Perigo and Claudio Mubarac. In the second floor, you can visit a fantastic panorama of Brazilian modern art, the Nemirovsky Collection, a private collection which is on permanent loan to our Museum. The Pinacoteca of Sâo Paulo is very proud of all the effort and dedication that has gone into the construction of this museum over the past one hundred years and above all our sense of responsibility to continue with this task. We are deeply satisfied to be able to host all participants during these two days, in order to exchange our experiences and discussions, within this area which we view as being of fundamental importance for the continuation and furthering of museological institutions and the revision of the role that they play in our society. Thank you very much. CIMAM 2005 Annual Conference “Museums: Intersections in a Global Scene” - 4 - Welcoming remarks and introduction II Alfred Pacquement – President, CIMAM It is a great privilege for me to open this Annual Congress of CIMAM. For more or less thirty years, CIMAM has, within ICOM, continued as a forum for modern art museums: a forum of discussion, of encounters, for colleagues coming from all over the world. CIMAM was created by a group of such colleagues who were motivated by this necessity. I have this morning received the very sad news that Edy de Wilde, one of those founding members, died yesterday. I want to honour his memory and propose we dedicate this conference to him. One of the first discussions of the new board was to decide where the annual conference would take place. We immediately thought of Latin American because of the very interesting developments in artistic creation in this part of the world and also of its many new museums. The last time CIMAM met here was nearly a quarter of a century ago in Argentina, but never before in Brazil. With its visual artists, architects, filmmakers, musicians, etc., we though Brazil would be a great place for the congress but we had to find, of course, colleagues here with which to work on this project. Ivo Mesquita responded very positively to our initial contact and also Marcelo Mattos Araujo, Director of the Pinacoteca do Estado. I want to extend our thanks to both of them for supporting the project and, in a very short period of time, realising this congress so beautifully. With yesterday’s visits, the start of the congress has been extremely active. We saw two museums, one art gallery, one private collection, one piece of architecture and one centre of research for young artists: in short, a perfect concentration of what would usually have taken much longer. To make this congress a success, we of course wanted it to be extremely international. We are very grateful to those who supported this project financially, especially so that colleagues from Latin America and Central Europe could be with us. I want to thank very deeply the Cisneros Foundation as well as the Getty Foundation whose support helped ensured that colleagues from all continents are represented. Also I should thank the Patrons of CIMAM, some of whom are with us today. Let me also thank the speakers and all the hosts of the events, most especially the Pinacoteca. Our thanks also go to Pilar Cortada, our co-ordinator, without whom we would not be here today. I want to welcome Alissandra Cummins: it is I think the first time we have a President of ICOM at one of our congresses. We live a complex period where society has developed museums with a very strong political and social role. As ever we are facing questions over who is making the decisions, how are museums supported, how to keep our independence, how we react to the dictatorship of the media, of the numbers of visitors, the question of the market, etc. These meetings offer us the opportunity to exchange points of view between professionals; also to listen to and discuss with theoreticians. I therefore wish you all a very interesting and stimulating conference. CIMAM 2005 Annual Conference “Museums: Intersections in a Global Scene” - 5 - Welcoming remarks and introduction III Alissandra Cummins – President, ICOM I am delighted to be here in Brazil for the Annual Meeting of CIMAM, one of ICOM’s most innovative, and active International Committees. To the best of my understanding, this is the first time a President of ICOM is present at a CIMAM annual conference. Whether or not this is so, I am both honoured and privileged to be with you on this occasion, and particularly as we are meeting in my region today. John Zvereff, the Secretary-General of ICOM, whose warm greetings I convey to you, urged me to attend in order to underscore the fact that ICOM relies on CIMAM for its invaluable support in debating and disseminating within the modern and contemporary art community, our organisation’s values; among which, the appreciation and protection of cultural diversity based on the sound application of ICOM’s Code of Ethics for Museums, is particularly germane. Here, I would like to reiterate the importance of CIMAM’s vision to ICOM. The fact that our Secretary General insisted on hosting CIMAM’s archives at the UNESCO-ICOM Information Centre in Paris emphasises the importance that we attach to your work and its’ permanent documentation. The reading of the artistic and aesthetic evolution from the “periphery,” as implied by your theme for the conference “ Museums: Intersections in a Global Scene”, as opposed to the traditional euro-centric reading, is something that is or has been embraced by more and more museums – and has, without a doubt, involved a considerable contribution of both individual and institutional CIMAM members.

  • Yagi Kazuo (1918-1979)
    YAGI KAZUO (1918-1979) Born in Kyoto on July 4, 1918, Yagi Kazuo was the eldest son of ceramist Yagi Issō (1894-73), who excelled at works inspired by Chinese Song Dynasty ceramics. After graduating from the sculpture department of the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts, Yagi Kazuo became a student at the Ceramic Research Institute in Kyoto and in 1946 took part in establishing the Young Pottery- makers’ Collective, which was disbanded in mid-1948. Later that year, he co-founded the avant- garde group Sōdeisha as a vehicle for expanding the expressive possibilities of clay. Yagi focused on the creation of “objets” — neither pure sculpture nor simply vessels. In 1954 at the Form Gallery in Tokyo, he exhibited his now iconic work “Mr. Zamsa’s Walk,” which marked his radical repositioning of the potter’s wheel as a mere mechanical tool instead of the determining factor in the forming process. However, like his Sōdeisha colleagues, Yagi began with utilitarian vessels inspired by modern Western art. In 1962, together with Yamada Hikaru, he established Mon Kōbō (“Corner Workshop”), in which Yamada was responsible for the functional forms and Yagi for the surface patterning. Yagi was quite comfortable producing sculptural forms and utilitarian vessels simultaneously and respected them equally. He was also the first artist to incorporate smoke- blackened ware into the modern ceramic vocabulary, starting in 1957. This manner of treating the surface allowed the original sharpness of the sculpted clay form to remain visible; moreover, it remained unassociated with any prior Japanese ceramic tradition. With broad interests in poetry, music and photography and known for his sarcastic wit and intellect, Yagi inevitably became Sōdeisha’s spokesman.

    Museums for a New Millennium Concepts Projects Buildings October 3, 2003 – January 18, 2004 MUSEUMS FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM DOCUMENTS THE REMARKABLE SURGE IN MUSEUM BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT AT THE TURN OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM. THROUGH MODELS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, IT PRESENTS TWENTY-FIVE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM BUILDING PROJECTS FROM THE PAST TEN YEARS. THE FEATURED PROJECTS — ALL KEY WORKS BY RENOWNED ARCHITECTS — OFFER A PANORAMA OF INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE AT THE OPENING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. Thanks to broad-based public support, MAM is currently in the initial planning phase of its own expansion with Museum Park, the City of Miami’s official urban redesign vision for Bicentennial Park. MAM’s expansion will provide Miami with a 21st-century art museum that will serve as a gathering place for cultural exchange, as well as an educational resource for the community, and a symbol of Miami’s role as a 21st-century city. In the last decade, Miami has quickly become known as the Gateway of the Americas. Despite this unique cultural and economic status, Miami remains the only major city in the United States without a world-class art museum. The Museum Park project realizes a key goal set by the community when MAM was established in 1996. Santiago Calatrava, Milwaukee Art Museum, 1994-2002, Milwaukee, At that time, MAM emerged with a mandate to create Wisconsin. View from the southwest.

  • LUIS ROLDÁN. Eidola
    LUIS ROLDÁN. Eidola Opening Reception: Thursday April 2, 6-9 pm Exhibition runs through May 16, 2015 Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 11-6 pm Henrique Faria Fine Art is pleased to present Eidola, Luis Roldán’s third exhibition in the gallery and his fifth in New York City.Eidola , plural of eidolon, meaning a specter or phantom, or an idealized person, is a presentation of new work by Roldán that includes painting and objects. The title of the exhibition is invoked through Roldán’s practice of re-purposing and re-contextualizing found objects, objects that had a previous “life” and function before their reincarnation as objets d’art. Mariangela Méndez writes in the exhibition text, “Ruins are crumbles of our material world, abandoned fragments, hollowed out of the divine spirit that once animated them. Images give us hope, that particular hope of accessing the world without limits.” The interaction of the paintings and sculptures is meant to represent the cyclic dialogue of life, death and rebirth, of how life informs art and how art, in turn, informs life. The materials that compose the wooden sculptures were, in fact, originally hat molds. Standing in for the human head, these molds were used to transform felt into pieces of fashion. As styles changed and hats were no longer an essential item of clothing, the molds became obsolete, relics of a different time; but their likeness to the human skull established them as eidola. Méndez remarks, “what is really remarkable of the skull as image is the effect it has on recognition.

    7731 Kazuo Yagi (1918 - 1979) "WATER IS ......" A black clay ceramic plaque, mounted in a Perspex box frame Signed K. Yagui Japan, circa 1978* Dimensions: Ceramic plaque: H. 15cm x W. 18cm (6” x 7¼”) Frame: H. 31cm x W. 30cm x D. 5cm (12¼” x 12” x 2”) Special fitted box inscribed: Toban (ceramic plaque). Yagi Kazuo The geometric forms of the triangle, circle and square are universal and have been used to convey symbolic meanings throughout the ages. The three symbols were immortalised in a painting by the Japanese Zen monk Sengai Gibon (1750-1837). Sengai's simple painting of three fundamental forms has been interpreted as the embodiment of the universe and the essence of Zen enlightenment. These simple geometric forms can be read as the symbols of emptiness, void and infinity. Together with Earth, Fire, Air and Void, Water is one of Godai (Five Elements) that form the Universe – the belief originated in ancient India and has been incorporated into Japanese Buddhism. This philosophy has also been adapted to Buddhist architecture in Japan. For instance, a number of gorintō (five-ringed towers), the stupas that consist of the basic five sections: the earth ring (cube), the water ring (sphere), the fire ring (pyramid), the air ring (hemisphere) and the void ring (jewel-shape), can be found in Japanese Buddhist temples and Zen gardens. According to Laozi: “Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.

  • Assis Chateaubriand, the Museu De Arte De São Paulo (MASP) and the Musee De Arte Moderna (MAM)
    Nelson A. Rockefeller and Art Patronage in Brazil after World War II: Assis Chateaubriand, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) and the Musee de Arte Moderna (MAM) Zueler R. M. A. Lima, Ph.D. Associate Professor, School of Architecture Washington University in Saint Louis © 2010 by Zueler R. M. A. LIma [email protected] My research at the Rockefeller Archive Center looked for evidence of Nelson A. Rockefeller's involvement in the creation of art museums and cultural programs promoted by Brazilian philanthropists, particularly in São Paulo in the decade after the end of World War II. This research is part of the project for a comprehensive book about the work and life of Italian-born Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) who, among other important buildings, designed the temporary and permanent facilities for the Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP). The museum, co-founded in 1947 by Brazilian press magnate Assis Chateaubriand (1892-1968) and her husband, Italian art dealer and critic Pietro Maria Bardi (1900-1999), contains one of the most prestigious art collections in Latin America and pioneered the layout of modern museums and the concept of comprehensive art institutes based on North American and Bauhaus models. The archival material reveals that the creation of MASP was closely related with the creation of the Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM), and that both represented the aspirations of local elites in creating a modern, cosmopolitan culture in the city with the direct and indirect help of Nelson A. Rockefeller. This report aims at organizing specific and relevant material found at the Rockefeller Archive Center into a chronological narrative based on my broader research.
