The Museum of Modern Art's television project sponsored by the Rockefeller Brother's Fund between 1952 and 1955 was designed to educate a democratic and cultured citizenry through the principles and practices of modern art and liberal humanism. Through a close reading of four television programs, related policy documents and exhibitions, as well as critical, educational and promotional literature, this study will show how within the context of the MoMA's mandate and history, the television project was a decisive, yet highly troubled attempt to forge cultural citizenship through the burgeoning media of modern art and television. This exploration will establish how the television project was an integral aspect of the MoMA's efforts since World War II to situate modern art as essential to the formation of an international polity shaped around the promise of universality, yet dependent on upholding the primacy of free and creative individuals. In addressing such a challenge, this dissertation will contend that television was not necessarily antithetical to modernism, rather it was just one among an array of struggling forces falling within the rubric of the modern. Moreover, this analysis will consider the importance of culture in logics of liberal governance. In order to elucidate the dimensions of cultural democracy as they emerged through the MoMA's television project, this study will be shaped around a discussion of three components crucial to the formation and maintenance of citizenly conduct---civic education, democratic cultural communications, and cross-cultural governance. To these ends, a range of sources from the disciplines of Communications, Cultural Studies and Critical Artistic Studies will be drawn on in order to investigate the provisional links forged between modern art, media pedagogy, and cultural citizenship in the Cold War period.

Esta dissertação tem como objeto o programa de exposições intitulado Panorama da Arte Brasileira, criado pelo Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MAM SP) em 1969 após a transferência de seu acervo para a Universidade de São Paulo. O Panorama tinha como objetivo restabelecer a programação e, ao mesmo tempo, gerar um novo acervo para a instituição por meio da aquisição e da doação de obras a cada edição. A importância do Panorama para o reerguimento do museu e para a renovação de sua relação com o meio cultural justifica a pertinência deste estudo. Tomando como principal material de análise os textos curatoriais, discute-se como as premissas do programa, fundamentadas nos termos panorama, arte brasileira e atual, provocaram respostas distintas por parte dos curadores convidados ao longo dos anos. Parte-se da hipótese de que teria havido uma mudança de paradigma, iniciada em meados da década de 1990, que se consolidaria na virada dos anos 2000, quando o programa passa a ser curado por profissionais sem relação institucional com o MAM SP. A pesquisa aponta que ao longo desse período os discursos curatoriais tornaram-se autorreferentes e que a ideia de atual deixou de se relacionar aos trabalhos expostos e passou a materializar não só um pensamento crítico sobre eles, mas também uma reflexão mais ampla sobre a arte contemporânea brasileira e sua relação com a tradição modernista. Por fim, foi possível concluir que, a partir dos anos 2000, a problematização de uma espécie de mito de origem da arte contemporânea brasileira tornou-se recorrente no Panorama da Arte Brasileira e que os discursos curatoriais passaram a adotar o modernismo como o principal parâmetro para se pensar as características do que seria, ou no que se diferenciava, a arte nacional. / The focus of this dissertation is the program of exhibitions entitled Panorama da Arte Brasileira (Panorama of Brazilian Art) created by the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM SP) in 1969, after its collection was transferred to the University of São Paulo. The objective of the Panorama was to reestablish the program and, at the same time, create a new collection for the institution through acquisitions and donations of works to each edition. The importance of the Panorama to the reemergence of the museum and the renewal of its relationship with the cultural milieu justifies the focus of this study. Analyzing primarily curatorial texts, the study discusses how the premises of the program, founded on the terms panorama, Brazilian art and current, resulted in different responses from the guest curators over the years. It is based on the theory that there has been a change in paradigm, which began in the mid-1990s, and consolidated at the turn of the millennium, when the program began to be curated without an institutional relationship with MAM SP. The study shows that over this period the curatorial discourse became increasingly self-referencing and that the idea of current was no longer related to the works on exhibit and began to manifest, not only critical thought about them, but also a broader reflection on contemporary Brazilian art and its relationship with the modernist tradition. Finally, it was possible to conclude that, starting in the 2000s, questions surrounding a myth of origin of Brazilian contemporary art became recurrent in the Panorama of Brazilian Art and that the curatorial discourse began to adopt Modernism as the main parameter when considering the characteristics of what is national art.

Para tanto, tornou-se necessário o entendimento das modificações do cenário artístico de Belo Horizonte iniciadas pelos confrontos entre acadêmicos, representados por Aníbal Matos, e os modernos reunidos nas exposições: Zina Aita em 1920, Salão Bar Brasil 1936, Exposição Moderna em 1944. Entende-se como a consolidação da arte moderna a vinda de Alberto da Veiga Guignard para fundar uma Escola de Artes, assim com as medidas modernizadoras de Juscelino Kubstchek, enquanto prefeito da capital mineira. Esse cenário e pinturas desses artistas são estudados na primeira parte da tese. Na década de 1960, os SMBAs abandonam o viés regional e passam a contar com a participação de artistas e críticos fundamentalmente do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Para a compreensão desses acontecimentos, são analisadas as pinturas premiadas, nos Salões Municipais de Belas Artes, responsáveis por constituir o acervo do Museu de Arte da Pampulha. Para finalizar a tese, buscou-se compreender a emergência da arte contemporânea, na capital mineira, através do estudo das manifestações: Vanguarda Brasileira (1966), Objeto e Participação e Do Corpo à Terra (1970) que propunham a destruição do suporte do objeto artístico, da desmaterialização da obra de arte, assim como o questionamento dos SMBAs. / Abstract: This thesis is about the study of masterpieces awarded at the Fine Arts Municipal Salons of Belo Horizonte (SMBAs) in the 1960s and the transformation of the SMBA into The Contemporay Art National Salon (SNAC) of Belo Horizonte in 1969. To make it possible, it was necessary to understand the modifications of the artistic scene of Belo Horizonte considering the relations among the academic experts, represented by Aníbal Matos and the modern ones present in exhibitions such as: Zita Aita 1920, Salão Bar Brasil, 1936, Exposição Moderna 1944. The starting points of the modern art consolidation can be considered when Alberto da Veiga Guignard inaugurated a School of arts and the fact that that Juscelino Kubstchek, the major of Belo Horizonte (the capital of the State of Minas Gerais) had modern politics. That scene and the paintings of the artists are studied in the first part of this thesis. In the 1960s, the SMBAs spread their influence beyond the region and receive participations of artists and critics especially from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. To understand these events better, some awarded paintings are analyzed in the SMBA, responsible for keeping the Pampulha Art Musem objects. To conclude the thesis, there was an attempt to understand the emergency of the contemporary arts in the capital of Minas Gerais through the study of some art events such as: Vanguarda Brasileira 1966, Objeto e Participação and Do Corpo à Terra 1970. These events had the aims of destroying the support of the artistic object, the dematerialization of masterpiece and the questioning of the SMBAs. / Doutorado / Historia da Arte / Doutor em História da Arte

Le musée contemporain ne se caractérise plus seulement comme un lieu voué à préservation, conservation et présentation des collections mais comme un lieu inscrit dans des réseaux, comme le montre l’étude de la politique de diffusion : celle-ci est l’objet de ma thèse en sciences de l’information et de la communication intitulée « La diffusion culturelle à l’échelle internationale : les enjeux de la politique du prêt des œuvres et des expositions du Mnam-Cci (Centre Georges Pompidou) pendant la période 2000-2007 ».Le Mnam-Cci est l’un des plus importants musées au monde grâce à sa collection d’art moderne et contemporain. Il offre non seulement des expositions temporaires mais aussi de nombreuses activités culturelles : cinémas, conférences, concerts, spectacles. Sa collection se compose de 60 000 œuvres, est empruntée auprès des musées du monde entier.Compte tenu de la richesse de la collection, la politique du prêt des œuvres est l’une des stratégies importantes du musée. Dans la perspective d’une étude muséologique, l’analyse de la politique du prêt des œuvres nous paraît des plus pertinentes.La première partie de la thèse met en évidence les mécanismes de la circulation des œuvres et celles des expositions dans un contexte des territoires à l’échelle internationale. La deuxième partie de la thèse décirt la circulation des biens culturels à l’heure de la mondialisation. La dernière partie de la thèse montre le développement de la stratégie communicationnelle à l’échelle internationale à travers la politique de diffusion.C’est ainsi que ce travail montre la diffusion culturelle à l’échelle internationale par l’intermédiaire de la politique du prêt des œuvres et des expositions du Mnam-Cci. / A contemporary museum isn’t any longer a place that is only dedicated to collecting, preserving, and presenting the collections, but a place which is integrated into a network, as the studies of strategies of diffusion are showing. This is the subject of my thesis worked in the field of communication and information science with the title: “International diffusion of culture: the lending strategies of works of art and exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern Art (Georges Pompidou Center) during 2000 and 2007”.The National Museum of Modern Art (Pompidou Center) is one of the most important museums of the world thanks to its modern and contemporary collections. The Pompidou Center does not only present temporary exhibitions, but also a range of other cultural activities: cinema shows, concerts, conferences and spectacles. Its collection comprises 60, 000 pieces of works of art which are borrowed by museums all over the world.Taking its rich collection into consideration, the lending strategies of works of art are one of the important drivers of the museum. The analysis of these lending strategies is crucial from a museology standpoint.The first part of the thesis deals with the circulation mechanism of works of art and the exhibitions in the context of international territories. The second chapter of the thesis looks at the circulation of cultural goods in the context of globalization. The last part of the thesis deals with the development of international communication strategies via the strategy of diffusion.That is how this work shows an international diffusion of culture via the lending strategies of works of art and exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern Art (Pompidou Center).

Esse trabalho investiga a importância das duas doações Nelson Rockefeller (1946 e 1950) na formação do acervo histórico do antigo Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo. A pesquisa demonstra como a doação fez parte de uma estratégia mais ampla para aproximar os Estados Unidos e o Brasil no Pós-Guerra por meio de iniciativas no campo das artes. Essa pesquisa traça um panorama do papel de Rockefeller como articulador da política cultural norte-americana e detalha o envolvimento de funcionários do MoMA (René dHarnoncourt) e seus curadores (Alfred Barr, Dorothy Miller e William Lieberman) na realização das doações. O objetivo central do estudo é tentar dar conta da relevância e singularidade de um conjunto de obras, atualmente no acervo do Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo, que permanece pouco estudado por especialistas e amplamente desconhecido pelo público. / This research analyzes the role of the Nelson Rockefeller donations (1946 and 1950) in the formation of the first collection of the Museum of Modern Art Sao Paulo. This study demonstrates how the donations were part of a broader strategy to bring United States and Brazil closer together through artistic initiatives during the Post-war period. This research gives a brief overview of the role of Nelson Rockefeller as articulator of the American cultural policy and details the involvement do MoMA employees (René dHarnoncourt) and curators (Alfred Barr, Dorothy Miller and William Lieberman) in the donations. The main purpose of this work is to shed to light over a unique collection, currently part of Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of Sao Paulo that has remained ignored by specialists and unknown by the public.

Este trabalho apresenta uma investigação pioneira dos encadeamentos que conduziram a formação da coleção de arte brasileira do Museu de Arte Moderna de Nova York (MoMA), buscando desvendar os fatores que levaram peças nacionais a serem incorporadas ao acervo da proeminente instituição americana, partindo da primeira aquisição em 1939 e mapeando todos os ingressos ao longo dos anos 1940. O objetivo central do estudo é compreender os processos históricos que direcionaram a aquisição e permitiram a recepção das obras por parte da instituição no período investigado, bem como os fatores que permitiram que ela divulgasse a arte brasileira no contexto cultural americano no decênio de 1940. / This study presents a pioneering effort to set out the formation processes of the Museum of Modern Art in Ney York (MoMA) Brazilian art collection, revealing the sequence of events that lead artworks from Brazil to be acquired by this institution from 1939 to 1949. Its aim is to understand the historical scenarios that allowed these artworks to be received by the museum in the delimited time, as well as to comprehend the reasons that propelled MoMA to promote Brazilian art in the 1940s. The investigation work was based on correspondence of key people in this process Nelson Rockefeller, Alfred H. Barr Jr., Lincoln Kirstein and Cândido Portinari as well as on documents produced by the MoMA; the results of this research opens new possibilities of understanding the relations between Brazil and the United States, in the fields of art, culture and politics.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Andrea Lombardi Barbosa.pdf: 9398124 bytes, checksum: 98ce7398f49a670adefc80ffe05c928b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-06-21 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Fundação São Paulo - FUNDASP / The present research proposes to understand the narratives between the new media and the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo, from a brief mapping of institutions that act at the intersection with the digital media as a confrontation production exercise, or in creative circumstances that explore new languages and approaches. In terms of functions, some issues stand out: how to create and implement new ways of performing museums? What are the changes necessary for the museum to account for the exposure and conservation of work in new media? What is the position of the museum in the face of new technologies, both in its use in the management and documentation of the collection and in the aid of education projects and support for visitation? For both the established museums and the museums being created today, the challenges that the new media present are enormous. They are ephemeral and dematerialized actions, works in process, built collectively, that manifest themselves in the direct clash with the ubiquitous time of cyberspace, generating strategies that subvert, recreate, amplify and deconstruct the meaning often anticipated by the digital context. In this way, the balance between conservation and exposure is threatened by the very dynamics of artistic production that stresses spatiotemporal distances, breaks with the paradigm of contemplation and calls for intervention, participation and intensifies mediation with works. In this sense, the present research addresses not only the productions and the experience of the museums in the context of the new media that cross the MAM-SP, but also points to questions to discuss the perspectives of the digital aesthetics in contemporary museums / A presente pesquisa propõe que se compreenda as narrativas existentes entre as novas mídias e o Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo a partir de um breve mapeamento de instituições que atuam na intersecção com as mídias digitais como exercício de produção de enfrentamento, ou em circunstâncias criativas que exploram novas linguagens e abordagens. No plano das funções, algumas questões se sobressaem: como criar e implementar novas formas de atuação dos museus? Quais são as mudanças necessárias para que o museu dê conta da exposição e da conservação dos trabalhos em novas mídias? Qual é o posicionamento do museu frente às novas tecnologias, no que se refere ao seu uso no gerenciamento e na documentação da coleção, bem como no auxílio aos projetos de educação e no apoio à visitação? Tanto para os museus já estabelecidos, como para os que atualmente estão sendo criados, os desafios que as novas mídias apresentam são enormes. São ações efêmeras e desmaterializadas, obras em processo, construídas coletivamente, que se manifestam no embate direto com o tempo ubíquo do ciberespaço, gerando estratégias que subvertem, recriam, ampliam e desconstroem o sentido muitas vezes previsto pelo contexto digital. Dessa forma, o equilíbrio entre a conservação e a exposição se vê ameaçado pela própria dinâmica da produção artística que tensiona as distâncias espaçotemporais, rompe com o paradigma da contemplação e solicita a intervenção, a participação, intensificando a mediação com as obras. Neste sentido, a presente investigação aborda não somente as produções e a experiência dos museus no contexto das novas mídias que atravessam o MAM-SP, mas também aponta questões no sentido de discutir as perspectivas da estética digital nos museus contemporâneos

Este estudo trata da crítica de arte de Geraldo Ferraz durante o período das primeiras Bienais de São Paulo.
