Concrete Art in Brazil. Political Confrontations and Spaces of Intervention


In the Cold War scenario, constructive poetics in Brazil and in Spain developed an aesthetic option that was committed to transforming the modes of sensitive perception starting from radical formal investigation. Certain institutions and events such as the São Paulo Biennial played a decisive role as spaces of visibility for these productions, and enabled connections to be made that would end up strengthening the formative and experimental ideal of Geometrical Abstraction in different territories.
