Paulo Nazareth makes “behavior art.” In 2011, he walked barefoot from Minas Gerais, Brazil, to New York, New York—a journey of over five months—without ever washing his feet. When he arrived he bathed his aching toes in the Hudson River. Later that year, Nazareth attempted to carry a sack of bananas on foot from Brazil to a show at Art Basel, in Miami. The Brazilian artist sees these treks as a form of performance, one in which he gauges the reactions of the people he meets along the way. Nazareth works in other mediums, too. In 2020, he decided to exhume the lineage of Luzia, an 11,500-year-old skeleton: he charted her history with an assemblage of found objects. Nazareth’s first solo show in Mexico City spans decades of creativity across a range of media, and includes his ongoing work on “Luzia.” —Elena Clavarino
