TOURIST / DRIVER - 2010

Edited by curator Fernando Oliva, the sixth Caderno takes a conflict as its starting point: who leads and who is led, in art, in culture, in politics, in everyday life? The rearrangement, in the global scenario, of the symbolic weight of Brazilian cultural production is the theme approached by critics Marcelo Rezende and Kiki Mazzucchelli, who respectively tackle the bodies of work of Jonathas de Andrade, from Alagoas, and Tuti Minervino, from Bahia. Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, and journalist Alcino Leite Neto create a script in collaboration. Scholar Boris Groys reflects on art, religion, and advertising in an interview to artist Luiza Proença; his Comrades of Time essay will be published in Portuguese for the first time. The critic Zoran Terzic reviews the friction between “being an artist” and “being a politician” in an article on Joseph Beuys. Caderno also features artistic and graphic interventions by the Brazilians Jonathas de Andrade and Roberto Winter, and the Portuguese Pedro Barateiro, based on the main theme.
