Art Basel Miami Beach | Unboxing | Jonathas de Andrade


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. 

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.

Jonathas de Andrade, Achados e Perdidos / Lost and Found, 2020–2022 is presented by Nara Roesler (São Paulo, New York, Rio de Janeiro) and Galleria Continua (San Gimignano, Beijing, Boissy-le-Châtel, Dubai, Havana, Paris, Rome, São Paulo) in the Meridians sector at Art Basel Miami Beach.
