The Other Trans-Atlantic: Kinetic and Op-art in Eastern Europe and Latin America 1950s–1970s spotlights a vast experimental production that flourished during the postwar period in countries at the fringe of the hegemonic centers of culture, especially in South America and Eastern Europe, with a special focus on the repertoire of kinetic art and op art. Conceived by the Museum of Modern Art of Warsaw, where the exhibition was initially held, then realised in a second version at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, the exhibition enters a third version at Sesc São Paulo, featuring artists and artworks not in its previous two stagings.

Curated by Marta Dziewańska, Dieter Roelstraete and Abigail Winograd, the overall exhibition design involves more than 40 artists and artist collectives, with more than 100 artworks of the most diverse natures and media, including kinetic sculptures, paintings, drawings, films and installations, besides a vast archival material.
