The exhibition “Museu do Homem do Nordeste” features three of his most recent projects: the installations “Cartazes para o Museu do Homem do Nordeste” [Posters for the Museu do Homem do Nordeste] (2013), “40 Nego Bom é 1 real” [40 nego bom for 1 real] (2013), and “O Levante” [The Uprising] (2012–2013). These works are articulated as a collection in parallel to the Museu do Homem do Nordeste, located in the city of Recife [PE]. Created in 1979 by Gilberto Freyre, the anthropological museum has a collection of more than 15,000 pieces representative of the region’s ethnic, historical, and social makeup.
In this series of works, Jonathas de Andrade experiments with new bases and methodologies for the original museum and presents at Galeria Vermelho the first version of this paramuseum.
