How to spend it - this weekend in SP

30 hours left over before Rio gets totally crazy and a chaos with the Rolling Stones concert on Copacabana Beach, my turn to draw your attention to the MAM in São Paulo and two great exhibitions.
Veracidade: “Veracidade” is concerned as much with the act of photographing in an urban environment as with being a synonym of the word veracity, an essence of photography. It investigates this evolution from the view of urban spaces, the direct reflex of the disquieting influences surrounding contemporary man,” explains curator Eder Chiodetto.

O Brasil de Pierre Verger: 290 photographs of the French artist and world traveler who set down roots in Salvador, rendering homage on the tenth anniversary of this photographer’s death and to the sixty years during which he lived intensely in Bahia. Of the images that will be shown, 70% have never been seen before. The exhibit emphasizes the loving relationship Pierre Verger (1902-1996) had with Brazil and, in particular, his probing visual research of Bahian culture and religion in which he involved himself until his final years. The exhibition will be at MAM Rio de Janeiro from May 15 trough July and at the MAM Salvador from August 6 until October. Pic Pierre Verger "Festa dos Navegantes".
