30 x Bienal – Transformations in Brazilian Art from the 1st to 30th Edition.

The history of art exhibitions is an essential tool for understanding the history of art. The case of Bienal de São Paulo is especially singular, being that it was the first art biennial in a peripheral country in the southern hemisphere, where it provoked a unique local dynamic from 1951 on.

The exhibition “30 x Bienal – Transformations in Brazilian Art from the 1st to 30th Edition”, which took place from September 21 through December 8, 2013 in São Paulo, sought to verify the nexuses, contexts, relationships and processes that the artists and their works established as determining moments in the history of Bienal, and of Brazilian and international arts.

The Bienal de São Paulo Foundation in collaboration with Mira Filmes now made a documentary film regarding the last 60 years of Brazilian art, in the context of this exhibition. The film recalls editions of the event, important movements in the arts and relates Brazilian artists featured in the exhibition curated by Paulo Venancio Filho, in 2013.
