ArtForum | BIENAL DE SÃO PAULO ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATING ARTISTS

ArtForum, ArtForum, Giugno 29, 2023

The Fundação Bienal, which organizes the Bienal de São Paulo, has announced the 120 artists who will be participating in the event’s thirty-fifth edition. Curated by art historian and former Reina Sofía director Manuel Borja-Villel, artist Grada Kilomba, independent curator Diane Lima, and anthropologist Hélio Menezes, the Bienal is titled “Choreographies of the Impossible” and heavily features Black, Indigenous, and non-white artists and artists from the Global South. The quartet in a statement released this past April described this iteration as “a mutual project around multiple possibilities to choreograph the impossible. As the title already suggests,” they continued, “it is an invitation to radical imaginations about the unknown, or even about what figures as im/possible.”

 

The event is slated to open September 6 at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion, featuring a fresh design by Brazil-based architecture firm Vão. A complete list of participating artists is below.
