Brazil's Venice Biennale Pavilion Features Rosana Paulino and Adriana Varejão in Curated Dialogue
On May 9, the 61st Venice Biennale will commence, showcasing the Brazilian Pavilion, which includes artists Rosana Paulino and Adriana Varejão, under the curation of Diane Lima. The exhibition, named 'comigo ninguém pode,' delves into themes of resilience and protection, drawing inspiration from a toxic plant. It will present both new and earlier pieces, interacting with the recently restored 1964 modernist pavilion, thanks to the efforts of the Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, Ministério da Cultura, and Ministério das Relações Exteriores. Paulino will display a weaving from 1996, while Varejão will introduce a new series that mimics ruins, highlighting Brazil's colonial legacy and evolution, along with outdoor installations that revive the garden aspect of the pavilion.
