SP-Arte will also present Dialogues, a curated programme of talks with curators and artists as well as an Editorial Cluster, which features artists’ books, magazines, independent publishers and book launches.
For 2014, SP-Arte will launch an innovative catalogue with selected art content, art reviews and interviews with leading gallerists. The catalogue will also include a brief history of art donations in Brazil, highlighting SP-Arte’s six-year donation program, led by its sponsor, Iguatemi, as well as a retrospective review on the 60th anniversary of Parque Ibirapuera, the iconic park that houses the Bienal Pavillion and a complex of four museums: Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Modern Art, Museum of African American Art and of Folk Art, as well as the Music Auditorium.
