ARTE!Brasileiros and Latitude: Platform for Brazilian Art Galleries Abroad jointly organize the II International Seminar ARTE!Brasileiros.
The seminar brings leading international figures from the art world together to discuss topics around the theme: Who’s Who in Contemporary Art?.
Latitude works in partnership with magazine ARTE!Brasileiros to put together the panel and takes some attendees to the Mercosul and Curitiba Biennale as part of an Art Immersion Trip upon completion of the Seminar.
The II International Seminar ARTE!Brasileiros takes the objective of looking at what goes on behind the scenes in the international contemporary art world. Panel members come from leading Brazilian and international institutions and have achieved notable work in areas such as production, exhibitions, acquisition and communication, working in roles such as curators, directors of institutions, artists, critics, historians and project managers. The Seminar has 4 panel discussions, asking questions such as ‘To what extent does the market define artistic production?,’ ‘What are the new spaces for disseminating and distributing contemporary art?,’ ‘What is the impact of contemporary art on cultural institutions?’ and ‘What are the new geopolitical horizons in art?’
Since 2007, Latitude: Platform for Brazilian Art Galleries Abroad has brought over one hundred influential buyers, curators, journalists and directors of international art institutions to Brazil through Art Immersion Trips. This initiative has helped to double the number of international curators working within the Brazilian Contemporary art scene and the current collaboration with ARTE!Brasileiros expands on past efforts by not only introducing a group of international guests to the Brazilian art scene, but also by creating additional opportunities for exchange with leading figures from Brazilian arts organizations through the II International Seminar ARTE!Brasileiros.
