Videobrasil in Dialogue
In October, special group visits have introduced new Brazilian and foreign audiences to Videobrasil and SESC projects. On the 21st, a group from the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego, USA, organized by curators Kathryn Kanjo and Hugh Davies, visited Isaac Julien’s show and experienced the challenge of presenting his dense output in a Brazilian context of heavy attendance from an audience with myriad profiles. On the 22nd, Solange Farkas met with Jennifer Lange, the video and film curator for the Wexner Center of Art, Columbus – Ohio, USA. At the meeting they discussed affinities between the two organizations and potential partnerships for future projects.
On the 26th, two groups with peculiar profiles went to SESC Pompeia to see the Isaac Julien: Geopoetics show in dialogue with Videobrasil and SESC professionals. A group of 42 students from the art course at New York’s Sotheby's Institute of Arts came into contact with this program’s very special positioning: contemporary art made accessible to the large audiences which frequent the unit. On that same day, postgraduate multimedia students from PUC-SP visited the show for a particularly rich meeting, considering that they are conducting in-depth studies on technical issues for which Isaac Julien’s expanded cinema language is a near-endless source of research and debate.
