<p>Traditional craft meets contemporary representations of masculinity in ‘Lost and Found’</p>

Jonathas de Andrade brings Brazilian bathing culture to the Meridians sector 

<p>If you lost a Speedo in Recife, Brazil at some point in the last decade,  chances are Jonathas de Andrade picked it up. Over the past ten years,  the artist has been scouring changing rooms for forgotten swim trunks.  His installation, Achados e Perdidos / Lost and Found, 2020–2022,  consists of Speedos presented on life-size cast sculptures of male  torsos cut off at the abdomen and legs, directing all focus to the groin  and buttocks. </p><p>To make the casts, de Andrade commissioned artisans from Tracunhaém, a  region in northeastern Brazil known for its pottery. De Andrade was  interested in the crossover between traditional craft and contemporary  representations of masculinity. In the installation, some sculptures are  presented in groupings, some in couples, and some alone, speaking to  the sensual and social aspects of bathing culture.</p><p>Jonathas de Andrade, <em>Achados e Perdidos / Lost and Found</em>, 2020–2022 is  presented by<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1127/Nara-Roesler"> Nara Roesler</a> (São Paulo, New York, Rio de Janeiro) and <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1093/Galleria-Continua">Galleria Continua</a> (San Gimignano, Beijing, Boissy-le-Châtel, Dubai,  Havana, Paris, Rome, São Paulo) in the Meridians sector at Art Basel  Miami Beach. </p><br /><p>Produced by Drone Genius<br />Directed by Antony Keane<br />Edited by Jorge Torres<br />Text by Elliat Albrecht</p>
