25TH BIENAL DE S�O PAULO SHOWS URBAN DRAMA IN THE WORK OF 190 ARTISTS FROM 70 COUNTRIES, TO OPEN MARCH 23, 2002
The Funda��o Bienal de S�o Paulo will be opening its 25th Biennial at 11 a.m. on March 23, 2002. There will be no press preview. With the theme of Iconografias Metropolitanas [Metropolitan Iconographies], the exhibition will be held in 30,000 square meters of exhibition space on the three floors of the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion, home of the Funda��o Bienal, port�o 3, Parque do Ibirapuera, S�o Paulo, Brazil.
This edition of the biennial - which is considered to be one of the three most important events of its kind in the world - features 190 artists from 70 different countries. The chief curator is Alfons Hug, with curator Agnaldo Farias in charge of the Brazilian representation.
The 25th Bienal de S�o Paulo is divided into 5 main segments: �11 Metropolises�, �National Representations�, �Brazilian Nucleus�, Special Project Rooms and �Net Art�. The �11 Metropolises� are: S�o Paulo, Caracas, New York, Johannesburg, Istanbul, Beijing, Tokyo, Sydney, London, Berlin and Moscow. Each metropolis is represented by five artists. The so-called 12th City is �the design of a Utopia�, according to the curators.
The �National Representations� segment presents the works of artists from 70 countries (one artist per country). The Bienal has encouraged the participation of a large number of African and Asian countries, which usually get little exposure in contemporary art shows.
For the �Brazilian Nucleus�, curator Agnaldo Farias selected 30 artists from 10 different Brazilian states with the aim of showing the cutting edge of the national production. According to him, �it is a mapping of a complex and fascinating universe; the ancient polis exploded and gathered in unexpected versions�.
