Sao Paulo Bienale - The IMmenence of Poetics

I am in Sao Paulo for the weekend, and had a chance to check out the 30th Sao Paulo Biennial - The Imminence of Poetics / A iminência das poéticas. The São Paulo Biennial is held in the Ciccillo Matarazzo pavilion in the Parque do Ibirapuera. The three-story pavilion was designed by a team led by architects Oscar Niemeyer and Hélio Uchôa, and provides an exhibition space of 30,000 m². The building is packed with international works. Open from 7 September - 9 December 2012. Chief curator: Luis Pérez-Oramas. Associated curators: Tobi Maier, André Severo; Assistant curator: Isabela Villanueva. In the construction of the Biennial the main working instrument will be the idea of constellation, and the leitmotiv, the notion of articulation. "More than a Biennial of individual artworks and artists, the 30th Biennial will be an event to compose constellations of artworks and artists dialoguing among themselves, even beyond their programmatic reasons: a platform that allows the vicinity between works and artists to be an effective dispositive of renovation and production of sense and meaning."
