Following a reorientation of its objectives, this
year’s edition of the São Paulo Biennial abandoned the
concept of national representations. Chief curator Lisette Lagnado
and her curatorial team, consisting of Adriano Pedrosa, Cristina Freire,
José Roca and Rosa Martínez, as well as Jochen Volz as
guest curator, were in sole charge of choosing the 118 international
participants.
The Biennial’s concept "Como viver junto" (How to
Live Together) was inspired by Roland Barthes lecture series "Comment
vivre ensemble", which he presented at the Collège de France
in 1967-77. An ethical definition of Living Together shall be searched
through the conceptual emphasis of the construction of shared spaces,
the questioning of coexistence, differences, rhythms of production
and cooperative practices. Hence, the 27th Biennial incorporates two
lines of thought developed by Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980): the
meaning of "construction", at the base of neoconcrete experimentation,
and the "farewell to aesthetics". These ideas practically
translate into the exhibition as "Constructive Projects" and "Programs
for Life".
The 27th São Paulo Biennial is a multifaceted project offering
besides the main exhibition also artist-in-residence programs, screenings
(the Film Fortnight), seminars (from January to September), publications,
and an educational project.
