32ª Bienal de São Paulo + ArtRio 2016

Visit at Baró Galeria

Art Immersion Trip

In partnership with ArtRio, the Art Immersion Trip ArtRio + 32nd Bienal de São Paulo brought together a group of 14 guests who, in addition to visiting the fair in Rio, were able to meet some of the city's most important institutions. After three intense days in Rio de Janeiro, the group traveled to São Paulo to visit the 32nd edition of the São Paulo Biennial, to participate in a dinner with associated galleries, and to visit galleries in the city.

The group was formed by curators, institutional directors and collectors from Germany, China, the United States and New Zealand. Through partnerships with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and with the institution Currents Arts and Music, it was possible to expand the group of guests, and potentiate the results of the action.
