Oracle of DelphiRivane Neuenschwander: Joe Carioca
March 11th 2007 03:54
The Saint Louis Art Museum announces the opening of 'Joe Carioca', the ninth installation in the Museum's New Media Series. In this witty and absurd, yet poignant animated film, noted Brazilian artist Rivane Neuenschwander explores intersections between cultures and the ways our hopes and dreams take material form.
'Joe Carioca' was influenced by a student workshop the artist conducted in association with her first Saint Louis Art Museum exhibition 'Currents 93: Rivane Neuenschwander'. During the workshop, Neuenschwander described Joe Carioca, a cartoon character created by Walt Disney Studios in 1942 to represent her home country in American movies, newspaper comic strips and comic books, and encouraged the students to create a character that would represent Brazil today
