As the celebrations for the centenary of the Modern Art Week approach, new reflections on the events that took place at the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo in February 1922, as well as on their role in the establishment of modernism in Brazil emerge.
More than proposing an assertive appreciation, the exhibition Modern Where? Modern When? revisits the topic, avoiding ready-made answers, crystallized by the mainstream voices.
Could it be that the Modern Art Week was a watershed between the old and the new, between old academic styles and modern practices? If we look carefully into the artistic, musical, architectural, and literary production that precedes the Week – also in places other than São Paulo – we find countless hints that the Week is part of a broad, discontinuous process that transcends it, both temporally and territorially.
This exhibition brings together paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photographs that express an innovative intention – in terms of composition, facture, or selected topic – regardless of the date and place of their production. Modern Where? Modern When? aims to present not only artists and works that took part in the event at the Theatro Municipal – not just as modern as one would dream of – but also pieces produced by artists who preceded and/or succeeded them, amid Brazil’s always-complex political and cultural confluence.

About the catalog
A comprehensive catalog organized by the curators will be published, which will present, in about 200 pages, a set of unpublished texts by eight guest authors. Aldrin Moura de Figueiredo writes about Brazilian modernism from the Amazon; Ana Maria de Moraes Belluzzo provides an overview of the establishment of modernism in visual arts in Brazil; Cacá Machado discusses musical culture of the different Brazilian modernities; Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Júnior addresses the disputes over the modern and modernism in the Northeast; Felipe Chaimovich presents the antecedents of visual arts in the Modern Art Week of 1922, and its relationship with the Prado family; Luiz Felipe Alencastro addresses the political, economic, and social issues in the country during the period; and Ruy Castro approaches the history of  the Modern Art Week and its main characters, with a series of provocative questions and comments. Rachel Vallego surveyed the timeline for the period, ranging from 1930 to 1937.
The catalog will be launched while the show is on view, on a date to be defined.
