3Nós3

The 3Nós3 (the name is a pun in Portuguese meaning "three knots / we three") was a collective formed by the artists Hudinilson Jr., Mario Ramiro and Rafael França that acted between 1979 and 1982. Its urban interventions, with repercussion in the great press, made the group two more important protagonists of the independent art movement of the time. This is the only book that brings together texts, photographs and reproductions of newspapers and magazines that documented interventions such as "Bagging", "X-Gallery", "Outdoor / Art-door". There are also texts by the researchers Annateresa Fabris, Maria Adelaide Pontes and Erin Aldana - who analyzed the production of 3NÓS3 and the period of its performance -, and a "Chronology of parallel facts"--A panoramic and chronological view of the Brazilian production of urban artistic practices of the period. The group emerges from the 70s to the 80s, marked by the advent of graffiti and punk rock, cinema and independent music, mimeograph poetry and xerox art, and coincides with the end of the military dictatorship in Brazil and the rise of an urban and performative art.
