Bienal de São Paulo

Founded in 1951
2nd Oldest Biennale
Located in Brazil

Goal: is to make contemporary art (primarily for the USA and Western Europe) known in Brazil and to gain the country access to art space and to become an international art center.

Architecture and Design as well as Art.




2008 Sao Paolo Biennale
"In Living Contact"

42 days long
Curated by Ivo Mesquita and Ana Paula Cohen

they see as a general crisis in art biennials: "that they've lost their purpose as cutting-edge exhibitions and instead just serve as jumping off points for artists to sell their work"
