SP-Arte 2023: Check out the best of São Paulo's artistic circuit
SP-Arte is taking place between March 29th and April 2nd, at Pavilhão da Bienal, inside Ibirapuera Park. Besides the traditional sectors of the fair, the 19th edition presents Showcase - a new curatorial initiative that spreads throughout the stands and hallways of the event.
The proposal "Recovering paradises: not needing the end to arrive", curated by Carollina Lauriano, questions the separation between anti-racist social movements and environmental and ecological discussions - a false antagonism bequeathed by colonial modernity. Among the participating artists are Claudia Andujar, Rebeca Carapiá, Jaime Lauriano, Panmela Castro, Maré de Matos, Rosana Paulino, and others.
We have selected some must-see exhibitions happening in the city during the fair.
Hélio Oiticica at Casa SP-Arte
SP-Arte inaugurated just before the opening of the fair as its permanent space for exhibitions and events related to the visual arts in São Paulo. Casa SP-Arte occupies one of the residences designed by artist and architect Flávio de Carvalho (1899-1973) for the Modernist Village, in Jardins. The house is the only one among the 17 that was entirely restored in its original version. The space opens its program with the exhibition Hélio Oiticica: mundo-labirinto, which brings together works from different phases of Oiticica's production (1937-1980), including his constructive investigations on the two-dimensional plane and experimental proposals that dialogue on art and life. Alameda Ministro Rocha Azevedo, 1.052 - Jardins Until July 22, 2023 / TUE–SAT, 11AM-5PM
