b/w plates, wrps. Matheus Rocha Pitta has the newspaper [cutouts, photos, etc.] as an essential source in his production. From the collection of images of demonstrations in different newspapers [the collection collected by the artist is long-standing and is constantly expanding], Matheus elaborates a calendar. But the artist extracts the phrases from the banners and banners and substitutes them for the inscription 1 April 2017. ENGLISH AND PORTUGUESE TEXT. LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 COPIES. Matheus Rocha Pitta [Tiradentes, MG, 1980], lives and works Rio de Janeiro. He participated in numerous solo and collective exhibitions, among which stand out: "The Fool's Year" [Athena Contemporânea, Rio de Janeiro, RJ]; and the 29th São Paulo Biennial. Currently, he is currently exhibiting the individual exhibition "Minor Memory" at MAM Rio. "One of the first things that caught my eye on my arrival in Berlin in 2017 was the shop windows of the city. Instead of hiring professional designers, store owners seem to decorate their own windows in a very amateurish, spontaneous and fun way. A copier, for example, has a huge display of orchids, whose relationship to the impression remains graciously incomprehensible, unless you picture the owner's love for those flowers. My facilities at the exhibitors I rented at two subway stations for the exhibition at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien residence [1] were a tribute to these adorable, handmade, do-it-yourself modes of exposing. When invited by the SOX project [2] to occupy the shop window on Oranienstraße, shortly after the opening of my exhibition, I had to respond quickly. As opposed to the project To the winner the potatoes, which I developed during my one-year residency, I only had two weeks to create something new. The time was short, so I decided to take time as a starting point, to be precise, opening day, April 1, or Fool's Day. It is read on the Wikipedia page dedicated to the date: "In the Middle Ages, New Year's Day was celebrated on 25 March in most European cities. In some areas of France, the New Year was a holiday weekend that ended on April 1. Some writers suggest that the April fools originated because those who celebrated on January 1 had fun with those who celebrated on other dates. "So those who celebrated at one time were regarded as fools - but conversely, they expose the conventions of measure of time. So, on April 1st, in a shop window on Oranienstraße, I introduced The Fool's Year, a calendar where every day is Fool's Day, "Fool's Day", or, as it is known the date in Brazil, the "Day of the lie". All year condensed and frozen in a single day, or a single initial day dilated and diluted in one year. Every day they are represented by a newspaper photograph of protesters holding posters, banners or banners, whose specific political claim I removed and replaced with the date 1 April 2017, as it was printed in the newspapers. These images come from my own archive, which I feed almost every day with newspaper photographs. I love the language of protest, you do not have to agree to the content to worship it. I have been collecting these images for almost eight years, regardless of your political claim, regardless of their place and date. It is a file of gestures, of pure "mediality" without "purpose". Then you see 365 images of protests, 365 days of the past that claim nothing but the consciousness of Today. To be regarded as a fool is only a matter of time-lag, of breaking clocks, as Benjamin quotes in his 15th thesis on the concept of history:".They shot the clocks to stop the day. '".

First edition, "much sought after by Brazilians" (Borba de Moraes). Sebastiao da Rocha Pitta (1660-1738) was himself Brazilian, having been born in Bahia. This is an attractive copy of this rare and important work, in a carefully restored contemporary binding. The last copy to appear at auction was in 1985. "Though scornfully dismissed by Robert Southey as being 'a meagre and inaccurate work which has been accounted valuable, merely because there is no other,' the Historia does not deserve such censure. For all its Gongoric turgidity, it contains some valuable and authentic information, being on some points more fair-minded and accurate than Southey's better written but more prejudiced work" (Boxer, p. 160). Thomas Lindley, writing in his Narrative of a Voyage to Brazil (1805), is less dismissive and certainly more specific in his criticisms, describing Pitta as "an intelligent and well-informed Brazilian", who compiled his history "from the chronicles of the Jesuits and other authorities, and some valuable local knowledge of his own. This work is copious in its details of the foundation of Brazil as a colony, its successive governors, its churches, its monasteries and convents". However, Lindley was less enthusiastic about Pitta's coverage of natural history, manufacturing, and commerce, but the Historia is evidently more of an old-style chronicle than a practical, up-to-the-minute guidebook. Lindley also remarks that the Portuguese government "publicly prohibited its being read under the severest penalties, and it is now only met with (carefully secluded) in the cabinets of the curious". Borba de Moraes (1983) II, 678; Sabin 72300. C. R. Boxer, The Golden Age of Brazil, 1695-1750: Growing Pains of a Colonial Society, 1962. Quarto (295 x 197 mm), pp. [xxvi], [ii blank], 716. Title printed in red and black, woodcut headpieces; bound with the half-title and the integral blank before the main body of the text, which are frequently lacking. Contemporary sprinkled sheep, new dark red morocco label, compartments gilt with scrolled foliate corner-pieces, floral lozenge central tools, edges sprinkled red and blue. Binding a little rubbed and worn in some places, some stripping from the front cover. Judicious restoration to spine ends and joints, expert repair to head of front board, occasional professional paper repairs to margins. Short closed tear to half-title page, pale tidemark in margin of last few leaves; overall a very good copy.

Lisboa Occidental, na Officina de Joseph Antonio da Sylva, 1730. Folio (29 x 195 mm). In recent green half calf with five raised bands and gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. Title-page mounted and with repair to outer margin, no loss of text. Last leaf with repair to lower outer corner, also with no loss of text. First and least few leaves with brownspotting. Very light browning in margins throughout. Title printed in red and black, woodcut initials and head-pieces. A fine and clean copy. (14), 716 pp. (Here with the often missing half title, but wanting the final blank). Rare first edition, here with the often missing half title, of the first general history of Brazil ? ?This work is extremely copious in the details of its foundation as a colony, its successive governors, its churches, its monasteries and convents? (Sabin). "This first edition is becoming rare, and is much sought after by Brazilians [.] since it is the first history of Brazil to have been printed, and since it was written by a Brazilian" (Borba de Moraes). The author's purpose was to narrate the events that had taken place in Brazil with the help of "truthful reports", these largely from Jesuit sources, and "modern information" given by those who had traveled in the vast Brazilian territory. This was the only history of Brazil available to Pitta?s contemporaries, since most of the others composed in the first two centuries of colonization remained in manuscript form until the nineteenth century. Rocha Pitta was born in Bahia in 1660 and died in the year 1738. At the age of 22 he left the University of Coimbra, where he took his degree, to return to Bahia, where he got married. He made up his mind to write a history of Brazil, and he spent years in collecting documents in the Monasteries of Brazil and Portugal, where he went in order to study French, Dutch and Italian for the purposes of his history. ?In 1728, after 40 years of study, he began to print his history, which appeared in 1730. It was universally well received, and King John V. appointed him a member of the household in consequence, yet in a few years the Portuguese government publicly prohibited its being read under the severest penalties.? (Sabin).Sabin 72300 Borba de Moraes (1983), p. 748.
