Abstract

The exhibition Magiciens de la Terre(Paris, 1989) is a landmark of a new look, in Europe, from the traditional art scene to the “art of the other”. In Brazil, in 1998,the exhibition Antropofagia, the 24th São Paulo Biennial, proposed a theme that articulatedthe local and the global cultures.We willtry, from the analysis of speeches announced by both exhibitions, understand the strategies carried out by the international art scene in the reproduction of a certain notion of globalization and multiculturalism in contemporary art.
