Pinacoteca revisits Beuys and Oiticica while FAMA brings Art Brut to Itu and ArtRio continues evolving
The Pinacoteca de São Paulo is currently presenting a revised exhibition examining the works of Joseph Beuys and Hélio Oiticica, placing their practices in contemporary dialogue. Simultaneously, the FAMA Museum has organized an exhibition dedicated to Art Brut, transporting the collection to Itu. The ArtRio fair remains active, signaling ongoing developments in Brazil's art market. New collaborative platforms within contemporary art are emerging with the aim of critically reassessing the format and legacy of biennials. Artist Flávio de Carvalho is highlighted for his enduring experimental approach. A thematic focus on memory connects these events, suggesting that engaging with historical narratives is fundamentally an act of addressing the present moment. The content also references artistic practices moving beyond mere representation, exploring identity through self-reflection in artwork, and engaging with the cultural landscapes of Brazil's sertão region.
