Julieta González was recently appointed curator of international and contemporary art at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), Brazil. With Adriano Pedrosa as its artistic director, the MASP has begun a process of curatorial revitalization through a review of the past projected into the future. Located in the iconic modernist building designed by Lina Bo Bardi in 1968, the museum was founded by Assis Chateaubriand, one of Brazil's most important art collectors and whose collection is widely represented at the MASP. González will curate her first exhibition at the MASP in September. It will feature works by Argentine artist León Ferrari created in São Paulo during his exile from the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1991). After this exhibition, she will begin working alongside Pedrosa in the reissue of the 1969 exhibition by Lina Bo Bardi entitled "The Hand of the Brazilian People." González currently holds the posts of artistic director of the Museo Jumex in Mexico, and she is also a member of the advisory board of the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Malba). "I do not think in terms of a Latin American art. I like the idea that there is no art with that name or with a Latin American problem [...] In São Paulo I want to work on the inclusion of popular art, which was already part of Lina Bo Bardi's project for the museum that took into consideration the transparency and permeability of the building," declared González for the morning paper Folha de São Paulo (Marti, Silas, Foha of São Paulo, 26/06/2015).
