Summary

The largest contemporary art exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere and the second oldest biennial in the world, the São Paulo Bienal has been housed since 1957 in the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion-a mammoth structure, designed by Oscar Niemeyer and Hélio Uchôa. This year's iteration of the show embraces these maximalist possibilities-featuring over 120 artists and over 1,000 individual artworks-but it differs from its predecessors by almost every other account. The vast majority of the included artists live and work beyond the Euro-American circuit that overdetermines the demographics of the contemporary art world, and many embrace forms of making that exceed the static category of the artwork.
