Works from different periods in the history of recent Brazilian art are brought together in six sections of the exhibition: “Nature: the end of representation”, “Urban environment: the habitat of modernity”, “Bodies: the politics of relationships”, “Forms of building and breaking”, “Fragments, gestures and abstractions”, and “Media: updated traditions”. These thematic sections bring together works from different times and contexts to demonstrate that the recurrence of issues of modernity in contemporary times is a fact of the time lived and often in overlapping periods. Within the sections, works produced by active artists dialogue with works linked to the modernist avant-garde. Whether through visual qualities or technical and conceptual procedures, these works extend to the present day issues initially revealed by industrial modernity, which continue to be unfolded by development efforts and technological advances. The perception of continuity in these ways of thinking and revealing reality is precisely the critical tool that society needs to deal with the dystopian challenges that present themselves to the entire world.
The current collection at MAM thus poses questions that touch on cultural, social and historical issues: What is the relationship between the ideas of “modern” and “contemporary”? How do they differ and what brings them together? And how does this affect our ways of producing culture and narrating history? Is it simply a distinction between periods or styles? There are certainly historical and theoretical differences that deserve broad discussion, but is it possible to precisely draw the visual and temporal boundary between modern art and contemporary art? How does this relate to the perception of historical time and lived time? The exhibition addresses these questions, not to answer them definitively, but rather to contribute to other approaches, offering the public the autonomy to be surprised by the reflections awakened by art, regardless of the time period.

The Modern Art Museum of Sao Paulo covers a large area. The layout inside is a carefully designed tour route, a bit like IKEA. You can walk around and find yourself back to the starting point without realizing it. It&#39;s very good and scientific. You can see everything.
