A arte brasileira dos anos 1990 através da série “Quartos-São Paulo” de Rochelle Costi

Abstract

The dissertation presented here intends to contextualize the production of Rochelle Costi in the Brazilian art of the 1990s. To this end, the 1998 "Salas-São Paulo" series was set up at the XXIV São Paulo Art Biennial, under the curated by Paulo Herkenhoff. The exhibition is a milestone for Brazilian artistic production, as the concepts discussed and the way the curators chose for the Biennial, influence other exhibitions and reflections on the curatorial discourses in the country. In this sense, the importance of this work of the artist for her career, as well as for the discussion of the social character of art in the country, stands out. For these contextualizations, it was necessary to construct a way of looking at these objects, being the dialogue between anthropology, through material culture, art and sociology, with authors who dialogue and create neighborhoods and tensions to read these objects.
