Waltercio Caldas 1985-2000 - Brief Article
ArtForum, May, 2001 by Adriano Pedrosa
CENTRO CULTURAL BANCO DO BRASIL
Rio-based Waltercio Caldas has yet to gain the international recognition enjoyed by a number of Brazilian artists of his generation, such as Tunga and Cildo Meireles. Curated by Ligia Canongia, this fifty-work retrospective covering the latter half of Caldas's career will provide a broad panorama of the severe yet playful post-Conceptualism that sets him apart from the body-based practices of artists ranging from Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica to Ernesto Neto. With essays by ten Brazilian critics as well as excerpts from Caldas's own writings, the catalogue offers a first monographic look at his oeuvre. May 14-July 29; CentroCultural Banco do Brasil, Brasilia; Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
