32ND BIENAL DE
SÃO PAULO
ANNOUNCES FINAL
LIST OF ARTISTS
AND COLLECTIVES
Five months prior to its opening, the 32nd Bienal de São Paulo –
Incerteza Viva [Live Uncertainty] announces the complete list of 81
participants, comprised of artists and collectives.
Curated by Jochen Volz along with co-curators Gabi Ngcobo (South Africa), Júlia
Rebouças (Brazil), Lars Bang Larsen (Denmark) and Sofía Olascoaga (Mexico), the
exhibition will be held from September 7 to December 11, 2016, at the Ciccillo
Matarazzo Pavilion, focusing on notions of ‘uncertainty’ and ‘entropy’ to reflect on the
current conditions of life and the possibilities offered by contemporary art to harbor
and inhabit uncertainties.
The result of an investigative process initiated in March of 2015, the final list presents
a selection of participants from 33 countries characterized by a strong presence of
artists born after 1970, women – who represent over half of the artists invited – and
commissioned projects, produced for the context of the exhibition.
According to curator Jochen Volz, the artists in the 32nd Bienal provide strategies and
speculations on how to live with uncertainty. ‘We are seeking to understand diversity,
to look at the unknown and question what we assume to be known. We view the
different knowledges of our world as complementary rather than exclusionary.’
Many of the works currently in development involve artistic residencies in the city of
São Paulo and research travels in Brazil. To cite a few examples: Carla Filipe in
partnership with the Instituto de Botânica de São Paulo [Botanical Institute of São
Paulo] is developing a garden of edible plants, spontaneous plants and endangered
plants; Iza Tarasewicz is studying the presence in Brazil of the Polish musical rhythm
known as Mazurka; Dalton Paula visited three cities involved in the tobacco economy,
and Pilar Quinteros traveled to Serra do Roncador, in Mato Grosso State, to follow
the tracks of the explorer Percy Fawcett (1867-1925), who disappeared in the 1920s.
‘The proximity of the curators with the Fundação Bienal team, as well as the
expansion of the institution's partnerships, make the 32nd Bienal an especially fertile
edition,’ says foundation president Luís Terepins. ‘So far, we are counting on the
commitment of 48 partners, including companies, governmental agencies and
cultural institutions. In addition, the Fundação Bienal has also strengthened its
relationships with international organizations that support the arts. By the time the
exhibition opens, we will have a considerably higher number of supporters than the
recent editions of the Bienal, an asset from the foundation added to the curatorial
work.’
For example, in recent months, partnerships with organizations from Chile, Ghana
and Peru helped to enable the realization of the Study Days in Santiago (Chile), Acra
(Ghana) and Lamas (Peru), with a strong impact on the development of the curatorial
proposal. The fourth event will take place in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, from May 19th to
the 22nd. An international seminar concatenating all Study Days will be held in São
Paulo at the Fundação Bienal auditorium on June 10th and 11th.
