In the speech “modernity and its limits” he speculates about European modernity, presented to the Brazilian nation between 1918 and 1922. Making a case study on works by artists from the 1922 Modern Art Week and contemporary artists, the critic and curator will present the modern project and discuss the inflections that generate the post-modernity in which we live.
