Magazine Article
27th São Paulo Bienal
2007
Overview
Discusses the 27th São Paulo Bienal exhibition 'Como Viver Junto (How to Live Together' on show in São Paulo, Brazil (7 Oct.-17 Dec. 2006), featuring works on this subject approached from two angles, 'programs for life' and 'constructive projects', concepts inspired by Brazilian Neo-Concrete artist Hélio Oiticica. He examines works which show the struggle of living together by Jane Alexander, Guy Tillum, Mauro Restiffe and Thomas Hirshhorn, and the skepticism also in works by Randa Shaath, Servet Koçyigit, Ahlam Shibli, Pieter Hugo, Jarbas Lopes, Roosivelt Pinheiros and Tadej Pogacar. He then considers the more optimistic works which took spatial rather than social organisation as their starting point, including those by Susan Turcot, Hélio Melo and Alberto Baraya, and discusses works pertaining to the institutional frameworks of art including those by Marcel Broodthaers, Tacita Dean, Meshac Gaba, Goshka Macuga, Mabe Bethônico and Rirkrit Tiravanija. He concludes that the exhibition illustrates contemporary art's troubled relation to the ways human life is affected by realities of misery, struggle and hardship as well as hope and tolerance.
