INVENTORY PROJECT: Information to the researcher

Dear researcher,

Continuing our collections treatment projects, the Arquivo Bienal is conducting an inventory of its historical documentation. Therefore, the customer services will be limited and local consultations will be restricted from March 2015 to December 2016.

Research enquiries will be received only by the e-mail arquivo.historico@bienal.org.br, evaluated and answered according to the possibilities of access to the materials. We will make all efforts to provide information whenever is possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. The Bienal Archive is confident that this project will bring considerable improvement to access to the collections and research services.

Researcher Bruno Pinheiro revisits the emblematic installation presented by Rubem Valentim at the 14th Bienal de São Paulo, in 1977, and analyzes how the work articulates Afro-Brazilian spirituality, sacred geometry and modernist architecture, projecting a space of resistance and reflection that gains new strength with its reassembly at the 35th Bienal.
