Angela Detanico (1974) and Rafael Lain (1973) are an artist duo from Brazil. They live and work in Paris, France. Selected recent exhibitions include Galer\u00eda Moro, Santiago, Chile (2010); Jeu de Paume, Paris, France (2008); Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (2008).<\/p>\n In Juksa<\/em> (2006), Maur\u00edcio Dias and Walter Riedweg capture a meeting with the few remaining inhabitants of the S\u00f8rfugl\u00f8ya island off the coast of northern Norway. Their interviews are interspersed with an old black-and-white documentary about the inhabitants of the island, made several decades ago for Norwegian television. Together, the films relate the history of S\u00f8rfugl\u00f8ya.<\/p>\n Maur\u00edcio Dias was born in 1964 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Walter Riedweg in 1955 in Lucerne, Switzerland. They have worked\u00a0together since 2003. Juksa was first shown at the 2006 Lofoten International Arts Festival in Norway. Selected exhibitions include Dias & Riedweg<\/em>, Americas Society, New York, USA (2009); Documenta 12, Kassel, Germany (2007); Dias & Riedweg<\/em>, MACBA, Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona, Spain (2003); 48th<\/sup> Venice Biennial (1999); S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial (1998, 2000 and 2002).<\/p>\n Since 1984 Eugenio Dittborn has created works he calls Airmail Paintings<\/em> \u2013 collages constructed out of photocopies and other cheap, simple materials which he stitches onto fabric. The works are folded into special envelopes, which are sent from place to place by regular post \u2013 in the 1980s this was a powerful comment on Chile\u2019s totalitarian regime that restricted travelling. Over the course of a journey, the works gather new meaning, much like souvenirs. The exhibition will include the works The Internment of Malevitch II (Airmail Painting No. 116, 1995\u20131998)<\/em> and The 26th<\/sup> History of the Human Face (Miti Mota)(Airmail Painting No. 149, 2002\u20132003)<\/em>.<\/p>\n Eugenio Dittborn was born in 1943 in Santiago, Chile, where he lives and works. Initially working under the isolation of the military dictatorship in Chile, Dittborn found in his Airmail Paintings<\/em> a way to bypass the bureaucratic system and engage in the activities of the international art world by sending his items to galleries around the world. His first large retrospective at Witte de With, Rotterdam, Holland, in 1993 presented more than 80 Airmail Paintings<\/em> from the past decade. His work has also been shown in a large number of group exhibitions, including the IV Biennial de la Habana, Havana, Cuba (1991); The New Museum for Contemporary Art, New York, USA (1991); Dokumenta 9, Kassel, Germany (1992); The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia (1993). His work is included in numerous museum collections, such as the Tate in London, UK, and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.<\/p>\n \u00d6yvind Fahlstr\u00f6m was an artist, poet, playwright and composer. He was immensely productive and one of the front figures of 20th<\/sup>-century Swedish experimental art. Born in 1928 in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, Fahlstr\u00f6m had a Norwegian father and a Swedish mother. In 1939, the then 10-year-old Fahlstr\u00f6m came alone to Sweden to visit his relatives. When Germany invaded Poland in September the same year and World War II began,\u00a0it was impossible for him to return back home. Later in life he lived in New York, Paris and Rome but never returned to Brazil.<\/p>\n Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster\u2019s Textorama<\/em> (2011) has its basis in an exhibition she produced for the Hispanic Society of America in 2009\u20132010. Her exhibition related to the institution\u2019s famous research library. The calligrammatic wall is an exploration and continuation of this library, with excerpts and quotations from canonical as well as unknown works of various languages.<\/p>\n Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster was born in 1965 in Strasbourg, France. She lives and works in Paris, France, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her recent solo exhibitions include Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2002); Tate Modern, London, UK (2008); Kunsthalle Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland (2004).<\/p>\n Cao Guimar\u00e3es\u2019 feature film Ex Isto<\/em> (Ex It<\/em>)(2010) is inspired by the hypothesis in Paulo Leminski\u2019s experimental novel Catatau<\/em> from 1975: What would have happened if Ren\u00e9 Descartes had gone with the Dutchman Maurice of Nassau to Brazil in the 1600s? We follow the philosopher on a breath-taking and exotic journey, full of discoveries, hallucinogenic herbs and finally a confrontation with his own doubts.<\/p>\n Cao Guimar\u00e3es was born in 1965 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where he lives and works. His work is part of the collection at Tate Modern in London, UK, MoMa and Guggenhein in New York, USA, and Fondacion Cartier in Paris, France. He has participated in the 25th<\/sup> and 27th<\/sup> International S\u00e3o Paulo Biennials, Cannes Film Festival (2005), Sundance Film Festival (2007) and Rio International Film Festival (2001, 2004, 2005, 2006).<\/p>\n In Laura Lima\u2019s work, the human body is not separated from other materials. This is evident in Marra<\/em> (1996 and 2011), which is part of Lima\u2019s series MAN=flesh\/WOMAN=flesh<\/em>. In Marra, two naked men wrestle in the exhibition space. They are conjoined by a hood that both renders them anonymous and blinds them. Her work is concerned with the bodies and the struggle, or collaboration, between them.<\/p>\n Laura Lima was born in 1971 in Governador Valadares, Brazil. She lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Selected exhibitions include 11 Rooms<\/em> at Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester, UK (2011);\u00a011th<\/sup> Lyon Biennale, Lyon, France (2011); La Centrale, Montreal, Canada (2010); Grande<\/em> at Casa Fran\u00e7a Brasil, Rio de Janeiro (2010); Scape<\/em> at A Gentil Carioca, Rio de Janeiro (2008); 24th<\/sup> and 27th<\/sup> S\u00e3o Paulo Biennials.<\/p>\n For an hour during the opening of The Spiral and the Square,<\/em> Arto Lindsay and his band transform the exhibition room into a concert hall\/club.<\/p>\n Melvin Gibbs \u2013 bass Arto Lindsay is a multi-faceted musician who has spent decades crossing geographical and musical boundaries. Much of his inspiration comes from Brazilian music and art, since he has long been active both as an artist and a curator.<\/p>\n Arto Lindsay was born in 1953 in Richmond, Virginia. He lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.<\/p>\n AcordaLice\/wAkupaLice<\/em> (2006) refers to and mixes Lewis Carroll\u2019s Alice in Wonderland<\/em> with James Joyce\u2019s Finnegans Wake<\/em> and Ulysses<\/em>. The installation, comprising film, sound and text, invites the visitor into a mysterious and peculiar world with undefined boundaries between fiction and the real world.<\/p>\n Dora Longo Bahia was born in 1961 in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, where she lives and works. Her recent solo exhibitions include Trash Metal<\/em> at Galeria Vermelho, S\u00e3o Paulo (2010) and Escalpo carioca e outras can\u00e7\u00f5es<\/em> at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro (2006).<\/p>\n In Plan de evasi\u00f3n (Escape plan),<\/em> Renata Lucas has taken unbound copies of Argentinian author Adolfo Bioy Casares\u2019 novel of the same title, and sewn the pages into a selection of books in Bonniers Konsthall\u2019s bookshop. By just looking at the covers, the intervention is invisible, making it impossible to know beforehand which books have been altered.<\/p>\n Renata Lucas was born in 1971 in Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, Brazil, and lives and works in S\u00e3o Paulo. Her work has been exhibited at, among others, Tate Modern, London, UK (2007), the Sydney Biennial (2008), the 53rd<\/sup> Venice Biennale (2009) and the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Germany (2010).<\/p>\n Through films, installations, photographs and performances, Cinthia Marcelle plays around with perspectives in order to create geometric patterns in everyday situations. One example of this is her video work Ao Plano<\/em> (2010\u20132011), where four lorries repeatedly attempt to park in a square, and the camera\u2019s bird\u2019s-eye perspective allows us to view the event in a completely different way than we would from ground level.<\/p>\n Cinthia Marcelle was born in 1974 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where she lives and works. Selected exhibitions include 9th<\/sup> Lyon Biennial (2007) and\u00a029th<\/sup>\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial (2009).<\/p>\n Rodrigo Matheus\u2019 works explore representation and perception in art and nature. In Nature of Construction<\/em> (2011) a metal net installed between the branches of a tree. This type of net is generally placed over windows in Brazil in order to stop children from falling out. The\u00a0Landscape<\/em> is a kind of diorama in which a landscape painting hung in the background is contrasted against the authentic \u2013 but in an art gallery unnaturally installed \u2013 branches and plants placed in the foreground.<\/p>\n Rodrigo Matheus was born in 1974 in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, where he lives and works. Selected exhibitions include Galeria Silvia Cintra & Box 4, Rio de Janeiro (2010); Galeria Fortes Vila\u00e7a, S\u00e3o Paulo (2008); Galeria Casa Tri\u00e3ngulo, S\u00e3o Paulo (2005).<\/p>\n In Casos de Sacos<\/em>, paper bags \u2013 with their cubic measurements carefully printed on the front \u2013 hang in a line across the exhibition space. Each bag contains all the other bags, so that externally they have different shapes and sizes but the exact same weight.<\/p>\n In rio oir<\/em>, one side of a vinyl record plays the sound of a river. The other side plays the sound of laughter. \u2018Rio\u2019 in Portuguese means both \u2018river\u2019 and \u2018I laugh\u2019, and when written forwards and backwards, these words create a palindrome \u2013 \u2018rio oir\u2019.<\/p>\n Cildo Meireles was born in Rio de Janeiro, where he lives and works. Over the course of four decades, he has been a key figure in the field of conceptual art.<\/p>\n During the military regime in Brazil, Meireles’ poetics were strongly critical of the regime and its censorship. In 1969 he was one of the founders of the Experimental Unit of the Museu de Arte Moderna in Rio de Janeiro, and in the 1970s worked as the editor for art magazine Malasartes<\/em>. A retrospective of his work was presented at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, USA, in 1999 and then travelled on to the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro and the S\u00e3o Paulo Museum of Modern Art. Meireles was the first Brazilian artist to be given a full retrospective by Tate at Tate Modern, London, UK, in 2008. Following this, the exhibition travelled on to the Museu d’Art Contemporani in Barcelona, Spain, and later to the Museo Universitario Arte Contempor\u00e1neo (MUAC), Mexico City, Mexico.<\/p>\n Jo\u00e3o Mod\u00e9\u2019s incense spirals in the piece Vanish<\/em> have a short life cycle. Assembled in clusters, one spiral lights the next until only ashes remain.<\/p>\n Jo\u00e3o Mod\u00e9 was born in 1961 in Rio de Janeiro, where he lives and works. He participated in the 28th<\/sup> S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial (2008) and the Prague Biennial (2003). Some of his projects, such as REDE\u00a0<\/em>and Constela\u00e7\u00f5es<\/em>, involve direct participation from the public. Overseas exhibitions include Connect \u2013 A Gentil Carioca<\/em>, IFA Galerie, Berlin and Stuttgart, Germany (2010\u20132011); Brazilian Summer. Art & the City<\/em>, Museum Het Domein, Sittard, Holland (2008); Stopover<\/em>, Kunsthalle Fribourg, Switzerland (2006). Jo\u00e3o Mod\u00e9 was a founding member of the Visorama group which organized debates in the 1990s regarding issues dealing with contemporary art.<\/p>\n The title Uma linha, ou duas<\/em> (2010) means \u2018one line, or two\u2019. A red line on the wall dissolves into an orange one, moving towards and joining the other works along the walls of the gallery. Carta a um jovem poeta<\/em> (2004) is composed of cut-out letters from handwritten letters, postcards and notebooks, which have all been glued together in the exact word order from the first letter of Rainer Maria Rilke\u2019s book Letters to a Young Poet<\/em>. The pages have been written by 62 different hands over a period of 99 years.<\/p>\n Fabio Morais was born in 1975 in S\u00e3o Paulo, where he lives and works. Morais\u2019 most recent solo exhibition was in 2010 at Galeria Vermelho in S\u00e3o Paulo. The same year, he participated in the 29th<\/sup> S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial.<\/p>\n Rivane Neuenschwander employs everyday materials and phenomena in works centred around themes such as travel, translation and transience. In First Love<\/em> (2005\/2011), viewers can describe their first love to a police artist who creates a facial composite, an image that has travelled a long way from the original object of love.<\/p>\n Gastronomic Translations<\/em> (2005\/2011) has its point of departure in a shopping list that the artist found in Frankfurt, Germany. She sent it to two chefs and invited them to prepare a banquet using nothing more than the ingredients on the list. On the opening day, Bonniers Konsthall\u2019s visitors can taste the result:<\/p>\n Team Brasserie Le Rouge under the leadership of Marco Baudone\u00a0and Fredrik Larsson<\/p>\n Poulet roti \u2018Salsa vert\u2019: Oven-baked free-range chicken, vinegar-grilled tomatoes, parmesan and salad cream Team Kungsholmen Restaurant under the leadership of Magnus Persson<\/p>\n Grilled corn-fed chicken breast with oregano, parmesan cream and 90-degree tomatoes Gastronomic Translations\u00a0is a collaboration with Spetsen Restaurant.<\/p>\n Rivane Neuenschwander was born in 1967 in Brazil, where she lives and works. Her most recent solo exhibitions include A Day Like Any Other<\/em>, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University, Saint Louis (2010) and New Museum, New York, USA (2010); Domin\u00f3 Can\u00edbal<\/em>, PAC MURCIA, Spain (2010); Rivane Neuenschwander<\/em>, Sala Ver\u00f3nicas, Murcia, Spain (2010); At a Certain Distance<\/em>, Malm\u00f6 Konsthall, Malm\u00f6, Sweden (2010). In 2011, her work will be shown at Untitled: the 12th<\/sup> Istanbul Biennial <\/em>in Turkey and Our Magic Hour: How Much of the World Can We Know<\/em>, the Yokohama Triennial in Japan.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/dsc86112.jpg\" "\\"_dsc86112\\"")
