Paola Berenstein Jacques: Estética da ginga: A arquitetura das favelas através da obra de Hélio Oiticica (2001) [Portuguese]

Estética da ginga goes from a transcendental gesture [the rising of the artist, Hélio Oiticica, to favela’s hill] to perform a mapping in three fields: artistic, architectural and, by extension, the sociocultural.

The book pursues an interdisciplinary frontier, narrowing notions of art, architecture and philosophy.

The life and work of Hélio Oiticica serve as a living model for this aesthetic in which the “ginga”, dancing, covering and uncovering his body of dancer, artist, slum inhabitant, the artist evokes at the same time the samba of the “favelas”, the “favelas” themselves, and shows us that the origin of the artwork changes every moment in the life of a city, a group, a man, in a sort of ephemeral joy.

Lygia Clark: Lygia Clark (1980) [Portuguese]

“Lygia Clark (1920–1988) was an artist best known for her painting and installation work. She was often associated with the Brazilian Constructivist movements of the mid-20th century and the Tropicalia movement. Even with the changes in how she approached her artwork, she did not stray far from her Constructivist roots. Along with artists Amilcar de Castro, Franz Weissmann, Lygia Pape and poet Ferreira Gullar, Clark co-founded the Neo-Concretist art movement.” (Wikipedia)
