The 34th Bienal de São Paulo launches the group show “Vento”
The exhibition Vento [Wind] is part of the ongoing 34a Bienal de São Paulo titled “Though it’s dark, still I sing”, and runs from November 14 to December 13, 2020, at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion.
According to Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, chief curator of the 34th Bienal, “the film not only portrays the performance, it portrays the wind: the role of the dancers, in this sense, is to make the wind visible. Sometimes it is necessary to put something into the void so that it reveals itself full of things we cannot touch or see. We had already decided to exhibit this work in the larger group show of the 34th Bienal (and the visitors will be able to re-encounter this piece next year), but now, in the context we are living in, it has gained new layers of possible reading and interpretation”.
The exhibition sees the participation of 21 artists. Alice Shintani (1971, São Paulo, Brazil), Ana Adamović (1974, Belgrade, Serbia), Eleonore Koch (1926-2018, Berlin, Germany), Gala Porras-Kim (1984, Bogotá, Colombia), Jacqueline Nova (1935-1975, Ghent, Belgium), Koki Tanaka (1975, Kyoto, Japan), Luisa Cunha (1949, Lisbon, Portugal), Melvin Moti (1977, Rotterdam, Netherlands), Musa Michelle Mattiuzzi (1983, São Paulo, Brazil) and Paulo Nazareth (multiple dates, Watu Nak, Vale do Rio Doce, Brazil); Antonio Dias (1944, Campina Grande, Brazil), Clara Ianni (1987, São Paulo, Brazil), Deana Lawson (1979, New York, USA), Edurne Rubio (1974, Burgos, Spain), Jaider Esbell (1979, Normandia, Brazil), Joan Jonas (1936, New York, USA), León Ferrari (1920-2013, Buenos Aires, Argentina), Neo Muyanga (1979, Johannesburg, South Africa), Regina Silveira (1939, Porto Alegre, Brazil), Ximena Garrido-Lecca (1980, Lima, Peru) and Yuko Mohri (1980, Kanagawa, Japan).
