Open Cube
White Cube Mason's Yard presented 'Open Cube', an international group exhibition organised by Sao Paulo-based curator Adriano Pedrosa. Invited by the gallery to curate an exhibition, Pedrosa launched a process of open submission via Art Agenda in January 2013, under the title 'Call for entries: 'Open Cube' at White Cube Mason's Yard'. The only requirement was that the artist needed to be available for an interview in London with the curator, in March 2013. 'Open Cube' received over 2,900 applicants, of which Pedrosa interviewed 38 and selected a final group of 17 artists."

Anna Bella Geiger: Native Brazil/Alien Brazil
Anna Bella Geiger (Rio de Janeiro, 1933) is a pioneering Brazilian artist, with an extensive international career. Her work has an experimental and innovative character, traversing references that are political and conceptual, formal and aesthetical, personal and bodily. Geiger was one of the first artists to engage with abstract art in Brazil, and was also one of the first to work with video and mail art in the country. This is the most comprehensive monograph on the artist to date, and accompanies Geiger's first full-length museum retrospective, organized by the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand - MASP in partnership with the Serviço Social do Comércio - Sesc Avenida Paulis...

Brazilian Histories
A colossal panorama of Brazilian visual culture across five centuries Published for the bicentennial of Brazil's independence, Brazilian Histories brings together a selection of more than 300 works and documents from different mediums, typologies and regions of the country, spanning the 16th to 21st centuries.
Ione Saldanha: The Invented City
The largest publication to date on the work of a pioneering Brazilian painter Ione Saldanha (1919-2001) was a highly influential though underappreciated figure in the history of 20th-century Brazilian art. Her paintings on canvas and paper, as well as more unconventional surfaces such as wooden slats, spools and planks, depict the perpetual invention and reinvention of the city.
Luiz Zerbini: The Same Story Is Never the Same
A major figure of the 1980s generation reconceives the genre of historical painting in Brazil Brazilian painter, sculptor, photographer and installation artist Luiz Zerbini (born 1959) works at the intersection of figuration and abstraction and is one of the primary figures of the Geração 80. This generation of artists, coming together in 1980s Brazil, embraced subjectivism in painting, reacting to the austere sculptural works of the previous decade. This volume follows the artist's exhibition at MASP, his first solo show at a museum in São Paulo. The curatorial conception of the exhibition was born from Zerbini's painting A Primeira Missa (2014), in which the artist interrogates the canonical 19th-century painting by Victor Meirelles (1861), reimagining the scene between the Portuguese colonizers and the indigenous people of Brazil. For the exhibition, Zerbini created four new paintings that follow this revisionist procedure. The book includes these new works as well as a suite of monoprints.

Marepe
This is the first comprehensive monograph on the young Brazilian artist Marepe, who lives and works in Santo Antônio de Jesus in Bahia Province in northwestern Brazil. The cosmos of this location--Marepe's birthplace--provides the stimuli for his art. His works, exhibited worldwide at Biennale festivals and museums such as London's Tate Modern or Paris' Centre Pompidou, evolve from the region's history, the daily lives of its people and the creativity that helps them to survive. As Jens Hoffmann writes in his essay: Marepe's world is fairly unique and his works of art are not just objects representing an idea or concept, they are witnesses of his life and the condensation of his experiences and his dreams. His interpretation of his surroundings is rendered into multifaceted, poetic and frequently beautiful works of art, which speak profoundly about some of the most relevant and even existential questions of our lives. Adriano Pedrosa analyzes the transformative impact of placing rows of water filters or replica market stalls in an art context. Statements, notes and poetry from the artist himself shed further light on the background of his pieces.
