TrAIN Open Lecture
TrAIN Open Lecture | Guy Brett and Chris Dercon (Director of Tate Modern)
with Michael Asbury |Remembering Hélio Oiticica’s 1992 Retrospective
Weds 8th February, 17:15 – 19:00
Lecture Theatre – Chelsea College of Art & Design
16 John Islip Street
London
SW1P 4JU
(Atterbury Street entrance)In 1992 a major retrospective exhibition of the work of Hélio Oiticica was organised collaboratively by a team of scholars, curators and artists in partnership with Projeto Hélio Oiticica, the Witte de With, centre for contemporary art in Rotterdam and Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris. The exhibition would travel for the following two years around major institutions in Europe and the United States and can be said to have significantly contributed towards the posthumous international recognition that the artist now holds.
Chris Dercon, director of Witte de With at the time and current Director of Tate Modern together with Guy Brett, independent scholar, curator and organiser of Oiticica’s Whitechapel ‘Experience’ in 1969, will discuss their personal involvement in the curation of Oiticica’s 1992 retrospective and reflect how, over the last 20 years, international perceptions on the artist have developed.
The event will be chaired by Michael Asbury who has written extensively on Oiticica and Brazilian modern and contemporary art and whose PhD (UAL 2003) is entitled Hélio Oiticica: politics and ambivalence in Brazilian modern art.
This event is free and open to all but places are limited so please RSVP to the TrAIN Administrator,
