Mecarõ, designed based on the collection of Catherine Petitgas, brings together more than one hundred works by fifty artists from the Amazon basin, dating from 1960 to the present day. Meaning "the spirit of the forest" in the Kraho language, the exhibition title takes the form of an invocation, revealing the artists' connection to their land and traditions. This richly illustrated catalog brings together texts written especially for the exhibition: independent curator Kiki Mazzucchelli, anthropologist Pedro de Niemeyer Cesarino, and curator and art critic Claire Luna each took a unique look at the Amazon and contemporary artistic practices in these elusive places. Two interviews with Catherine Petitgas and artist Sol Calero complete the book. Exhibition artists: Armando Andrade Tudela, Claudia Andujar, Brígida Baltar, Alberto Baraya, Milena Bonilla, Vivian Caccuri, Sol Calero, Patricia Camet, Tania Candiani, Carolina Caycedo, Chelpa Ferro, Lygia Clark, Donna Conlon, Alexandre da Cunha, José Damasceno, Elena Damiani, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez, Sandra Gamarra, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Gego, Anna Bella Geiger, Sonia Gomes, Beatriz Gonzáles, Claudia Jaguaribe, Lucia Laguna, Tonico Lemos Auad, Oswaldo Maciá, Teresa Margolles, Beatriz Milhazes, Paulo Nazareth, Maria Nepomuceno, Ernesto Neto, Rivane Neuenschwander, Lucia Nogueira, Hélio Oiticica, OPAVIVARÁ!, Nohemí Pérez, Solange Pessoa, Lucia Pizzani, Manuela Ribadaneira, Abel Rodríguez, Ivan Serpa, Valeska Soares, Clarissa Tossin, Erika Verzutti, Danh Vo and Luiz Zerbini.
