On view through October 26th, at Hauser & Worth in NY, is an exhibition that brings together a group of twelve intergenerational Brazilian artists that through abstraction reveal the trajectory and formation of a distinct Brazilian aesthetic that emerged in the latter half of the 20th Century, together with many other seminal cultural movements.
Conceived and organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément, ‘Sensitive Geometries’ accompanies a new publication, produced in concept and design as a facsimile of an exhibition catalogue published in 1959 for the first Neo-Concrete exhibition, held at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro.
