Working in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, in the late 1970s and early 1980s under a fierce military regime, Ferrari and Hudinilson Jr created works that were radical by the very nature of their reproducibility. Ephemeral and plural, such works circulated outside the gallery circuit and the reach of the government, and created dispersive networks of communication and critique.<\/p>\n<p>During the<strong> workshop<\/strong> (15.00-17.00), participants will have the opportunity to meet the curators and explore the works of Ferrari and Hudinilson Jr in greater detail. We will reflect on how these works engage the context of their time, the different materials they use and meanings they evoke, and their possible impact for us today. We will also consider curatorial practices and exhibition design. This workshop brings together topics from art history, gender studies, communication and museum studies.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop will be followed by a<strong> talk<\/strong> (17.30-18.30) that expands on the ideas and themes of the exhibition. It will contextualise the artists\u2019 life and work, and bring to the fore an important but under-examined aspect of conceptual and counter-cultural artistic practices in 1970s \u2013 1980s in S\u00e3o Paulo. The talk will be moderated by the exhibition\u2019s curators, and followed by a drinks reception.<\/p>\n<p>The event is <strong>free<\/strong>. To register for the workshop, please contact <strong>Dr Eve Kalyva (<a href=\"mailto:e.m.kalyva@kent.ac.uk\">e.m.kalyva@kent.ac.uk<\/a><\/strong>). The talk can be attended independently and requires no registration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are warmly invited to an exhibition workshop and talk in relation to the exhibition Art of Dispersion: Le\u00f3n Ferrari &amp; Hudinilson Jr (Art Exchange, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/2022\/03\/09\/exhibition-workshop-and-talk-leon-ferrari-hudinilson-jr\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73455,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73455"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":654,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions\/654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
