The Fundação Bienal de São Paulo recently announced the first list of artists of the 35th Bienal de São Paulo – choreographies of the impossible, in addition to the visual identity, poster, educational project and curatorial council of this edition. The announcement was followed by the first open conversation with the 35th Bienal's curatorial collective, formed by Diane Lima, Grada Kilomba, Hélio Menezes, and Manuel Borja-Villel, on April 27, 7pm, Bienal Pavilion, São Paulo.
Entitled choreographies of the impossible, the 35th Bienal de São Paulo (September 6 – December 10, 2023) will bring together diverse artistic practices from locations outside the hegemonic circuit. With 43 names—comprising 37 artists, four duos and two collectives—this year’s edition will spotlight a broad spectrum of artists from different parts of the world and will distinguish itself in its diversity of artistic media, with several participants coming from the worlds of dance, film and music.
Addressing the curatorial vision for the 35th Bienal de São Paulo, the curators said: “With choreographies of the impossible we want to build spaces and times of perception that challenge the rigidity of western time linearity. What we see in this choreographic horizon are the strategies and policies of the movement that these practices have been creating in order to imagine worlds that confront the ideas of freedom, justice and equality as impossible achievements.”
First list of artists, 43 names were announced. The complete list will include over 100 participants and will be released in June 2023.
