"The exhibition features six galleries and more than 50 artists and unfolds across two landmarks in São Paulo: the Casa Bola, a spherical home designed by the architect Eduardo Longo, and the Avenida Faria Lima, a main thoroughfare in the city. Participants in the fifth edition include the Brazilian galleries Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel, Mendes Wood DM, Luisa Strina, Nara Roesler and Almeida & Dale."
"Most of the works in this edition were newly commissioned, with the works at Casa Bola selected to reflect the home's own bespoke and futuristic qualities. The co-curator, Kiki Mazzucchelli, describes the home as 'part Flintstones, part Jetsons'. Due to space constraints in the 135-sq.-m home, Casa Bola is featured as an artwork itself, while the main exhibition takes place in an adjoining three-storey warehouse."
"Visitors will encounter a mix of works with 'contrasting organic and industrial characters', including pieces by Daniel Steegman Mangrane, Marina Simão, Leonor Antunes, Vivian Caccuri and others. On the top floor, the guest curator Fernando Serapiào has organised a presentation on Longo's practice and Casa Bola, which Longo built in the 1970s and where he still resides."
The fifth edition of an annual exhibition merging art, architecture, and design opened in São Paulo, marking its most ambitious instalment. The exhibition spans two locations: Casa Bola, a distinctive spherical home designed by architect Eduardo Longo in the 1970s, and Avenida Faria Lima, a major city thoroughfare. Six galleries participate, including Brazilian galleries Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel, Mendes Wood DM, Luisa Strina, Nara Roesler, and Almeida & Dale, alongside New York-based Gladstone Gallery making its first appearance. Most works were newly commissioned, with Casa Bola itself featured as an artwork alongside pieces in an adjoining warehouse. The exhibition showcases over 50 artists presenting works with contrasting organic and industrial qualities, complemented by historical Pop-era pieces and contemporary works responding to Longo's experimental architectural approach.
