The 24th São Paulo Biennial
Artistic Director: Paulo Herkenhoff
Dates: 2 October – 3 December 1998
Venues: Parque Ibirapuera & Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion, São Paulo, Brazil
Known as one of the best Biennials ever made, the “Biennial of Anthropophagy” had as general curator Paulo Herkenhoff and as assistant curator Adriano Pedrosa. The concept, extracted from the roots of Brazilian culture, permeated the work of all 76 curators involved with the exhibition, as well as resulting in powerful individual exhibitions dedicated to each of the 53 National Representations. The curatorship worked with the idea of contamination and put in dialogue works of contemporary Brazilians with works of the Historical Center.
