The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930

Exhibition Opening: Wednesday, March 21, 7–9 p.m.
On view: March 22–June 30, 2018

Over the course of a century of rapid urban growth, sociopolitical upheavals, and cultural transitions reshaped the architectural landscapes of major cities in Latin America. Focusing on six capitals—Buenos Aires, Havana, Lima, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago de Chile—The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930, presents the colonial city as a terrain shaped by Iberian urban regulations, and the republican city as an arena of negotiation of previously imposed and newly imported models, which were later challenged by waves of indigenous revivals. Photographs, prints, plans, and maps depict the urban impact of key societal and economic transformations, including the emergence of a bourgeois elite, and extensive infrastructure projects, rapid industrialization, and commercialization.

This exhibition, co-curated by Idurre Alonso and Maristella Casciato and organized by the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, is also on view from September 2017 through January 2018 as part of the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative.

Samba New York’s Carnaval Samba Party

As opposed to a show, the “Samba Party” is more of a communal gathering, where Brazilian music enthusiasts share their love of samba drumming, dance, and culture — a kind of NYC take on the mega samba school rehearsals that precede Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro.
The first Samba Party of 2018 celebrates Carnaval in style, featuring a samba lesson with Brazilian dance master Danielle Lima; live powerhouse batucada by the Samba New York! Drum Section under the direction of Dr. Samba; and the festive Brazilian beats of DJ Anderson Trindade.

Only $15 for so much samba fun!

About Samba New York!

Founded and directed by ethnomusicologist/percussionist, Philip Galinsky (aka Dr. Samba), Samba New York! is a world-renowned samba performance company dedicated to entertaining, educating, and uplifting people of all backgrounds with the exhilarating music and dance of Brazil. Having grown up immersed in Rio’s samba world, Danielle Lima is one of NYC’s foremost samba dancers, teachers, and choreographers and founder of the Brasileirando Dance Group. Anderson Trindade is a leading DJ on the local Brazilian scene, supplying the soundtrack to some of the City's hottest events.

Talea Ensemble and Michelle Agnes Magalhães: Herbarium

Americas Society ,680 Park Avenue.New York, NY

7:00 p.m.

In their Americas Society debut, NYC-based new music group Talea Ensemble — dubbed “a vital part of the New York contemporary-classical scene” by The New York Times — presents the world premiere of a new chamber music cycle by Brazilian composer Michelle Agnes Magalhães, who is currently a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University. Herbarium explores sonic complexity and visual structures through the lens of Emily Dickinson’s poetry.
Program: Herbarium

Before you thought of spring	piano and percussion
Pink small and punctual	piano
I know a place where summer strives	piano, percussion, double bass and electronics
It sounded as if the streets were running	piano and electronics
Besides the autumn poets sing	double bass
Of all the sounds despatched abroad	percussion
The Souls that Snow	piano, percussion, double bass and electronics

Pianist Neus Estarellas performs Magalhães' Mobile in Stuttgart (2017).

About the composer
Brazilian composer Michelle Agnes Magalhães explores the limits between gesture and writing, composition and improvisation. The piano plays a key role in these two fields of her musical activity: several important pieces of her composition catalogue were conceived for this instrument, and she performs regularly as an improvising pianist, both as soloist and collaborator. As part of her fellowship at Radcliffe, Magalhaes is at work on a concerto for piano and ensemble intimately anchored to a prior study of Harvard's keyboard instruments collection. The composition process includes an acoustical analysis of Harvard's pianos and fortepianos in order to expand upon the harmonic material of the piece. Magalhães holds a doctorate from the University of São Paulo and a master's degree from the University of Campinas (Brazil). She has been awarded fellowships and residencies from such institutions as the Camargo Foundation, the São Paulo Research Foundation, UNESCO, and the Villa Sträuli. From 2013 and 2017 she worked as a researcher and as a composer at IRCAM (Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique, Paris) and in 2018 will be composer-in-residence there.
About the ensemble
Talea Ensemble has been labeled “…a crucial part of the New York cultural ecosphere” by The New York Times and has given many important world and US premieres of new works by composers including Pierre Boulez, Tristan Murail, Olga Neuwirth, John Zorn, Unsuk Chin, Rand Steiger, Beat Furrer, and Fausto Romitelli. Talea has performed at Lincoln Center Festival, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt, Wien Modern, Contempuls, Newport Jazz Festival, La Ciudad de las Ideas (Mexico), Art Summit Indonesia (Jakarta), and the International Contemporary Music Festival (Peru). Radio broadcasts of performances have been heard on ORF (Austria), HRF (Germany), and WQXR’s Q2. As an active collaborator of new music, Talea has joined forces with the Austrian Cultural Forum, Consulate General of Denmark, Korean Cultural Service NY, Italian Cultural Institute, and the Ukrainian Institute. Assuming an ongoing role in supporting and collaborating with student composers, Talea has served as ensemble in residence at Harvard University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Ithaca College, Cornell University and New York University. Talea has recorded works on the Living Artists Label, Gravina Musica, Tzadik, and New World Records. Recently commissioned composers include Anthony Cheung, Oscar Bettison, and Georges Aperghis.

Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985

April 13–July 22, 2018

Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing and Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, 4th Floor

This is the first exhibition to explore the groundbreaking contributions to contemporary art of Latin American and Latina women artists during a period of extraordinary conceptual and aesthetic experimentation. Featuring more than 120 artists from 15 countries, Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 focuses on their use of the female body for political and social critique and artistic expression.
The artists pioneer radical forms and explore a female sensibility with overt or, more often, covert links to feminist activism. Many works were realized under harsh political and social conditions, some due to U.S. interventions in Central and South America, that were complicated or compounded by the artists’ experiences as women.
The artworks on view range from painting and sculpture to photography, video, performance, and other new mediums. Included are emblematic figures such as Lygia Pape, Ana Mendieta, and Marta Minujín, alongside lesser‐known names such as Cuban‐born abstract painter Zilia Sánchez; Colombian sculptor Feliza Bursztyn; Peruvian composer, choreographer, and activist Victoria Santa Cruz; and Argentine mixed‐media artist Margarita Paksa. The Brooklyn presentation also includes Nuyorican portraits by photographer Sophie Rivera, as well as work from Chicana graphic arts pioneer Ester Hernandez, Cuban filmmaker Sara Gomez, and Afro-Latina activist and artist Marta Moreno Vega.

Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 is organized by the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, as part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, an initiative of the Getty with arts institutions across Southern California, and guest curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill and Andrea Giunta with Marcela Guerrero, former curatorial fellow, Hammer Museum. The Brooklyn presentation is organized by Catherine J. Morris, Sackler Senior Curator, and Carmen Hermo, Assistant Curator, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum.
This exhibition is made possible through lead grants from the Getty Foundation. Major funding is provided by the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation and Eugenio López Alonso. Generous support is provided by Marcy Carsey, Betty and Brack Duker, Susan Bay Nimoy, and Visionary Women. Leadership support for the Brooklyn Museum presentation is provided by the Ford Foundation. Major support is provided by the Starry Night Fund, the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, Friends of Radical Women, and Bank of America.
