Any sculpture that contains moving parts. It started with the Dada artist, Marcel Duchamp, with his spinning bicycle wheel on a stool in 1913.

Monthly review of Modern Brazilian art first published in 1922 – the same year as the Modern Art Week in Sao Paolo – and emphasized an international, industrialized context for art.

Brazil must make an effort to understand Klaxon."
