Isaac Julien is introducing his evocative 9-screen video composite about Lina Bo Bardi at Art Basel. Two actresses inhabit this dynamic innovator of 20th century architecture, design and unusually brave prose, an Italian who embraced Brazil both for its modernist innovation and its ethnic heritage. Bo Bardi is also the subject of a just opened drawing show at the Carnegie and an upcoming show in 2020 at MCAChicago which is traveling from Sao Paolo, her home, via Jumex, but Julien takes his inspiration also from Salvador where a number of Bo Bardi sites are decaying. This is something not to miss if you are in Miami.
