Summary:

Legendary art expert Max Perlingeiro offers a historical opportunity in in the exhibition "Encontro/Confronto: Waldemar Cordeiro and Hélio Oiticica" with their encounter and confrontation. This powerful dialogue of two beacons of Latin American art, who became central for future generations of artists, is without doubt the season's major art show in Brazil. The research and interests that moved Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) and Waldemar Cordeiro (1925-1973) present a parallelism that, over time, has been diluted. The intellectual clashes between the two groups marked the history of Brazilian art. Forty seminal works in several media from two decades, the early 1950s to circa 1970, reveal the multiple creative output of Cordeiro (1925-1973) and Oiticica (1937-1980). The sheer enthusiasm for the act of making art always with a bias toward freedom, against exploitation, against prejudice, toward dialogue, of these two larger-than-life and rival personalities -Cordeiro lived in São Paulo and represented the Concrete movement while Oiticica lived in Rio and participated in the Neoconctete movement, also known as Grupo Frente- left an indelible legacy of experimentalism that endures in the nation's contemporary culture not only in the visual arts but also in music, poetry, architecture and design.
