Museum without Walls

DiMoDA 3.0, 2018. Work by Paul Hertz (Fools Paradise).

Since the Collection inherited a relatively random set of works and only recently implemented an acquisition policy, one cannot comfortably attribute to it the function of producing a historiography of art produced in the 20th century in Pernambuco. How, then, to deal with this condition?

In opposition to the objects collected from the rubble of Providência, the archaeological finds that a century ago had been thrown there as leftovers now performed singularity, flaunting the strength of those who, in a gesture of insubmission to gravity and oblivion, had returned to the surface.
