Summary:

"Organizado pela curadora, escritora e pesquisadora Diane Lima, Negros na piscina: arte contemporânea, curadoria e educação é uma publicação que documenta o momento histórico do debate racial na arte brasileira ao longo dos últimos dez anos. A partir de contribuições ou aproximações acerca do pensamento curatorial, a publicação conta com mais de trinta vozes que, ao unir teoria e prática, antecipam estratégias e narram os desafios de produzir cultura no país. O livro é composto de textos inéditos, conversas, análises de práticas artísticas e projetos expositivos que, acompanhados de uma série de imagens, confrontam e interseccionam os discursos sobre raça, arte, educação e estrutura institucional. O trabalho de Diane Lima como organizadora é, em grande parte, uma arqueologia profunda que reflete o momento-chave de reivindicações em relação às ausências e presenças de artistas e curadores negros e indígenas nos espaços institucionais de arte."--publisher.

Organized by curator, writer and researcher Diane Lima, "Blacks in the Pool: Contemporary Art, Curation and Education" is a publication that documents the historical moment of the racial debate in Brazilian art over the last two decades. Based on contributions and approximations about curatorial thought, it tells with more than three voices that, by uniting theory and practice, we anticipate strategies and narrate the challenges of producing culture in a country. The book is composed of unpublished texts, conversations, analyzes of artistic practices and exhibition projects that, accompanied by a series of images, confront and intersect the discourses on race, art, education and institutional structure. Diane Lima's work as an organizer is, in large part, a profound archeology that reflects the key moment of demands in the relationship to the absences and presences of black and indigenous artists and curators in institutional art spaces. With a title inspired by a work by artist Paulo Nazareth, Lima, in its introduction, it presents the multiple meanings that "blacks in the pool" produces, these meanings that, laden with irony, expose the contradictions and tensions that are behind an apparent representation festive. Questioning what we imagined when we heard "blacks in the pool", the relationships between representation, value production and visibility, the book brings together the most varied strategies of solidarity, recusal, self-defense and negotiation, which we see being built between generations. In fact, it offers important subsidies to understand what is considered "poéticas de exibição do outro" (and its vast anthropological history) and "poéticas de exibição do nós". In the search to escape from any encyclopedic desire and homogeneity of racial categories, the texts make a rich contribution to a multiplicity of curatorial practices and ways of narrating that complement each other, clash and surpass each new reading. For being a book that only exists because it previously existed as a collective performance, burdened by the absolute contradiction of the problem of representation, Blacks in the Pool is necessary, current and urgent. Provocative, it opens paths for a generative and plural future. Blacks in the pool can be seen, therefore, as a performance of a performance, or even for their terribly beautiful nature.
