SP-Arte + Inhotim 2012

Art Immersion Trip - group

Art Immersion Trip

The purpose of the visit of 12 international guests was to bring them to two destinations: the SP-Arte fair in São Paulo and the Inhotim cultural center in Minas Gerais. In the days they spent in São Paulo, visitors got the chance to stop by institutions, private collections and alternative spaces, as well as the fair itself.

The visit to Inhotim always makes a very positive impression on guests who get the opportunity to see quality works of Brazilian art side by side with works by foreign artists in a unique context of scale and setting.

“It was my first visit to Brazil and gave a good first insight into the contemporary Brazilian art production and the institutional sector particularly of and in Sao Paulo. I also felt that I had the oppurtunity to meet many people who would help me intensifying the relationship to the contemporary Brazilian art scene in future. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip” - Peter Gorschlüter
