José Leonilson: Empty Man
On view: September 27–February 3, 2018
Curated by Cecilia Brunson, Gabriela Rangel, and Susanna V. Temkin
José Leonilson (1957-1993) came of age as an artist during the 80s
generation in Brazil. What he shared with this diverse artistic milieu
was the so-called ‘joy of painting,’ rediscovered in the years following
the end of Brazil’s dictatorship. What separated him from his
contemporaries was his personal way of working and his distinct
aesthetic centered on raw emotional feelings, introspective musings, and
private affairs.
This Fall, Americas Society will present José Leonilson: Empty Man,
the first U.S. solo exhibition of this key Brazilian artist. Focusing
on Leonilson’s production as a mature artist, the show will feature
approximately fifty paintings, drawings, and intimate embroideries made
between the mid-1980s until 1993, when the artist died of AIDS. This
short yet prolific period showcases the artist’s fully developed
language, connecting Leonilson’s oeuvre with contemporary art
practices, Brazilian vernacular traditions, and global issues prompted
by the AIDS crisis. By taking as its starting point the works produced
during the last three years of his life and moving backwards into the
1980s, the exhibition maps Leonilson’s artistic journey following the
reverse chronology of T.S. Eliot: “in the beginning is my end. In my end
is my beginning.”

Delirious times demand delirious art, or so this exhibition
proposes. The years between 1950 and 1980 were beset by upheaval. Around
the globe, military conflict proliferated and social and political
unrest flared. Disenchantment with an oppressive rationalism mounted, as
did a corollary interest in fantastic, hallucinatory experiences.
Artists responded to these developments by incorporating absurdity,
disorder, nonsense, disorientation, and repetition into their work. In
the process, they destabilize space and perception, give form to extreme
mental, emotional, and physical states, and derange otherwise logical
structures and techniques.
Delirious explores the embrace of irrationality among American, Latin American, and European artists.

Alfredo Volpi
November 4, 2017 - January 6, 2018
Gladstone 64
Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of historic works
by Brazilian painter Alfredo Volpi (1896 – 1988), the first solo
presentation of his work in the United States. Volpi is regarded as one
of the most influential and celebrated Brazilian painters, who the
preeminent public intellectual Mario Pedrosa called “the master of his
time.” Honing his craft during the rise of modernism in Brazil, Volpi
has made a lasting impact on the history of art through his signature
approach to depicting the forms of everyday experiences—from festival
banners to common row houses—in vibrantly chromatic abstraction.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday is the perfect opportunity
for Americans in all corners of the country to honor Dr. King's legacy
through acts of service and community building. In past years, OFA
volunteers have partnered with local organizations to host community
service events. This year, OFA volunteers are also focusing on Dr.
King's vision of a compassionate, fair society -- one where everyone's
voice is heard.
For the 2018 MLK Day of Service, in addition to community service
events, supporters will be putting on voter registration events to not
only provide people with access to an easy way to get themselves
registered to vote, but to bring their communities closer together. We
believe voter registration events are just one more way we can honor Dr.
King's legacy of fighting for a more fair and inclusive democracy.
We hope you'll take this opportunity to put on your own event and help
give people in your community a chance to get themselves registered to
vote.
Get more information here, and sign up to host an event.
As we work to make sure that everyone in our communities is able to have
their voice heard in the democratic process, these events will be a
great way to bring our friends, family, and neighbors together and begin
conversations about civic engagement and the issues affecting all of
us.
I hope you'll take the first step, and sign up to put on an event in your area.
