IVAM Brazilian fever? Judging at the rash of shows.IVAM Brazilian fever? Judging at the rash of shows, in Brazil as well as abroad, occasioned by the agency of the quincentennial of the Portuguese arrival, there may be evidence of widespread contagion in venue forward both sides of the Atlantic. "Brasil 1920-1950" promises at the same least a serious reconsideration of the Latin American giant's rich cultural history. Focusing upon the period of Modernismo, the exhibition encompasses the visual arts, literature, music film, urbanism, and architecture--an exercise in interdisciplinarity worthy of high Brazilian modernism itself. The team of curators, l according to Jorge Schwartz, includes several top Brazilian scholars, and the accompanying catalogue should become the definitive respect on the period. Oct 18 2000-Jan.
