Having welcomed over 35,000 visitors to its last edition, SP-Arte offers an extensive programme including free guided tours, panel discussions with specialists and editorial launches, not to mention the well-established Opens Studios and Gallery Night, which build anticipation for the fair and help stimulate São Paulo’s art scene throughout the month. Among this year’s new additions are the new curator of the Masters sector, Maria do Carmo M. P. Pontes, and debut international participants, including Carpenters Workshop Gallery and Garth Greenan Gallery.
While SP-Arte’s Main sector continues to gather local and international galleries showing modern and contemporary art ranging from the early 20th century to the present day, the Solo sector of the fair is curated by Alexia Tala and reflects on how events of the mid 20th century have affected the stability and autonomy of the Global South. The Masters sector, this year curated by Maria M.P. de Pontes, has as a central feature works by artists whose careers ended far too soon. OpenSpace and Performance sectors break through the limits of traditional booths and occupy public spaces.
A place for the acclaimed Brazilian mid-century modern design as well as for an exciting new generation of designers, the 5th edition of SP-Arte’s Design section is divided into Modern, Contemporary, Architects, Independent Designers and Antiques sectors. In addition to the Brazilian highlights, the 2020 edition will see the debut participation of British Carpenters Workshop Gallery (based in London, Paris, New York and San Francisco) - a major international addition to the fair.
The programme of SP-Arte’s 16th edition proposes to debate the understanding of contemporary art, including discussions with specialists, curators and collectors in a series of Talks, as well as free Guided Tours. SP-Arte’s week-long programme takes over the city, expanding beyond the Biennial Pavilion with the Gallery Night and the Open Studio Circuit.
