1980–2000s: The transition to the contemporary

Frederico Coelho is a researcher, essayist and professor in Brazilian Literature and Theatre in PUC–Rio. He was an assistant curator at MAM–RJ from 2009 to 2011.

A new century for Brazilian art

In this audio guide, researcher Frederico Coelho explains how the XXI century is “a new century for Brazilian art”, and how even art studies of this epoch require a change of paradigm – change that marks the turn of the century and the current generation’s production.

Luciara Ribeiro is an educator, researcher and curator. Master in Art History by Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Brazil) and Universidad de Salamanca (Spain). Here, she questions the adage “seeing is believing”, presenting works that adjust to what she calls “invisible forces camp”, those that tension thoughts, bodies and energies.

Contemporary design: matter and process as reading keys

In this audio guide, Winnie Bastian, journalist specialized in design, presents and reflects on design works, starting from matter and processes as clues to understanding them. From ecofriendly works to others that subvert traditional techniques, Bastian proposes an itinerary on the 18th SP–Arte, that returns to the Bienal Pavilion with over 30 design galleries.

Brazil and wood: unity in diversity

With this audio guide, Winnie Bastian presents some of the furniture and works exhibited by design galleries at the 18th SP–Arte. In this walkthrough, the leading bond is wood, which she points out as “unity in diversity”.
