Catalogue published to accompany the 28th Bienal de Sao Paulo in 2008. Several pages are devoted to each participating artist's work and includes a biography and short interview.
"The 28th Bienal de Sao Paulo proposes a different format from its previous editions, so as to offer a platform for observation and reflection upon the culture and system of biennials within the international art circuit. In order to do so it articulates exhibition, debate and dissemination strategies, taking its own experience as a case study, considering the deep changes that have taken place in the specific cultural context in which it is set (that of Brazil and Latin America) as well as those occurring in the world at large, because of the globalization of economic and cultural relationships, and the popularization of contemporary art through exhibitions in museums, fairs and biennials." - excerpt from Introduction
