Resumo: | Art curatorship, through the handling of exhibitions and through the temporary arranging of art works, can question canons and hegemonic narratives, a strategy used to tension and question processes that invent and reproduce identity representations, many of them linked to the “Brazilianness” imagined by the modernism produced in São Paulo. Part of these representations were produced from certain alterities related to different regionalisms, including a certain “northeasternness”, which were operated mainly as an object of representation. Starting from an emblematic case of curatorship, in which canonical works of Brazilian modernism are confronted with contemporary art works produced by black and mixed race artists that live outside the hegemonic Brazilian Southeast, we propose to discuss how a series of exhibitions held by Northeastern curators in the last two decades have questioned identity representations of “northeasternness” and its use as a construction of “authenticity” for “Brazilianness”. These curatorships deal with tensions regarding the power distribution, which legitimizes certain narratives at the expense of others; and with the curatorship’s ethical dimension when equating representation and representativeness. |

Parte dessas representações foram produzidas a partir de determinadas alteridades relacionadas aos diferentes regionalismos, entre eles certa “nordestinidade”, as quais foram operadas sobretudo enquanto objeto de representação. Partindo de um caso emblemático de curadoria, no qual obras canônicas do nosso modernismo são confrontadas com produções contemporâneas produzidas por artistas negros e mestiços localizados fora do eixo hegemônico do Sudeste do país, propomos discutir como uma série de exposições realizadas por curadores nordestinos nas últimas duas décadas têm questionado representações identitárias sobre “nordestinidade” e seu uso enquanto construção de “autenticidade” para a “brasilidade”. Essas curadorias lidam com tensões referentes à distribuição de poder, que legitima certas narrativas em detrimento de outras, e com a dimensão ética da curadoria ao equacionar representação e representatividade.Universidade Federal de Pernambuco2022-11-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/index.php/estudosuniversitarios/article/view/25464110.51359/2675-7354.2022.254641Estudos Universitários; v. 39 n. 2 (2022): 100 anos da Semana de 22 ‒ Modernismo no Brasil e em Pernambuco; 57-782675-73540425-4082reponame:Estudos Universitários (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE)instacron:UFPEporhttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/index.php/estudosuniversitarios/article/view/254641/42959Copyright (c) 2022 Estudos Universitáriosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLima, Pedro Ernesto Freitas2023-07-19T17:29:25Zoai:oai.periodicos.ufpe.br:article/254641Revistahttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/estudosuniversitariosPUBhttps://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/estudosuniversitarios/oaiestudosuniversitarios@ufpe.br2675-73540425-4082opendoar:2023-07-19T17:29:25Estudos Universitários (Online) - Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE)false |

Art curatorship, through the handling of exhibitions and through the temporary arranging of art works, can question canons and hegemonic narratives, a strategy used to tension and question processes that invent and reproduce identity representations, many of them linked to the “Brazilianness” imagined by the modernism produced in São Paulo. Part of these representations were produced from certain alterities related to different regionalisms, including a certain “northeasternness”, which were operated mainly as an object of representation. Starting from an emblematic case of curatorship, in which canonical works of Brazilian modernism are confronted with contemporary art works produced by black and mixed race artists that live outside the hegemonic Brazilian Southeast, we propose to discuss how a series of exhibitions held by Northeastern curators in the last two decades have questioned identity representations of “northeasternness” and its use as a construction of “authenticity” for “Brazilianness”. These curatorships deal with tensions regarding the power distribution, which legitimizes certain narratives at the expense of others; and with the curatorship’s ethical dimension when equating representation and representativeness. |
