Thesis title:
This project considers how different biennials have impacted the knowledge and understanding of contemporary Brazilian art. Focusing on the representation and perception of contemporary art from Brazil within key biennials such as São Paulo, Liverpool, Venice, Havana, and Istanbul, this project asks how the expansion and diversification of the biennial model have impacted knowledge and understanding of the contemporary art of formerly peripheral nations.
