A Gentil Carioca

Latitude is the title of the International Promotion Project for Brazilian Art Business which is a partnership between Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) and ABACT (Brazilian Association of Contemporary Art).

It was started in 2007 with the core goal of creating business opportunities for the art sector mainly through cultural promotion activities. During this period, the number of members increased.

Currently, 49 primary market art galleries participate in Latitude, representing more than 1000 artists.

Through a rich programme of activities that ranges from supporting Brazilian galleries in international fairs to promoting Art Immersion Trips for international guests in Brazil, Latitude aims to improve professionalism within the art market and provide new opportunities for Brazilian galleries to trade internationally.

BRAZILIAN ART SCENE: DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION With one of the most prosperous and promising art scenes in the world, Brazil is quickly expanding its reputation as a global art centre. Maintaining its place as the world’s sixth largest economy, it is a country that has steered clear of much of the economic turmoil of recent years and is host to original and vibrant production in contemporary art which is grounded in a solid historical tradition.

Since the 1970’s, Brazilian artists have gradually gained space and recognition in the world’s most renowned international art spaces.

In 1969, Helio Oiticica held a solo show at Whitechapel and in 1970, his work was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York with that of Artur Barrio and Cildo Meireles.

In the 1980’s, pioneering art gallerists such as Thomas Cohn, Luisa Strina and Marcantonio Vilaça played an important role, as they started to participate in international art fairs.

This gave contemporary Brazilian artists, such as Jac Leirner and Tunga, an international stage on which to present their work. Since then, Brazilian art has been put on the map.

The cultural exchange between Brazil and the rest of the art world has increased dramatically and has given international critics, curators and researchers greater access to Brazilian art. In London alone, there have been

solo shows by several Brazilian artists in various renowned institutions.

These include Rivane Neuenschwander (South London, 2008); Cildo Meireles (Tate Modern, 2008); Alexandre da Cunha (Camden Arts Centre, 2009), Ernesto Neto (Hayward, 2010), Lygia Pape (Serpentine, 2011) and Mira Schendel (Tate Modern, 2013).

In the domestic realm, some of the country’s most important cultural institutions, like the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, were founded in the 1940s. Bienal de São Paulo, now in its 31st edition, began in 1951, and is second only to Venice as the oldest functioning international biennial.

These events helped create a rich interchange between different art forms and traditions, helping to consolidate the unique aesthetics of Brazil.

Beyond the biennial, the country currently has some prestigious public institutions such and Pinacoteca do Estado and Museu de Arte do Rio

(MAR), as well as some non-profit private foundations like Casa Daros and the 3000-acre Inhotim, an assemblage of galleries and site-specific works surrounded by tropical botanical gardens.

São Paulo stands as Brazil’s financial and cultural center, positioning itself as a new hot spot for the global art market. Rio de Janeiro also holds important museums, galleries and collections. Together, the two cities account for over 85% of the art trade in Brazil. SP-Arte and ArtRio, started in 2005 and 2011 respectively, have quickly become relevant international fairs, seeing a steady increase in the percentage of foreign galleries exhibiting over the years.

With a growing number of collectors, art professionals and spectators, Brazil is now at an optimal position to share its creative energy, to provoke debate and to create new opportunities for cultural exchange.

BOOTH G6 | Main Frieze Art Fair BOOTH S14 | Spotlight Frieze Masters

A Gentil Carioca was founded 11 years ago by artists Márcio Botner, Laura Lima and Ernesto Neto, conceived in a melting pot in order to captivate and diffuse art’s diversity within Brazil and the world.

We believe each work of art is a cultural particle with enough potential to irradiate culture and education. In the same way history can be thought, forged, documented and changed, A Gentil Carioca is a place where artistic or political contexts can be revitalized, in many ways.

A Gentil Carioca validates the amplification of the potential action field of the arts as it stimulates the net of collectors and art lovers in general.

BOOTH D5 | Main Frieze Art Fair

Inaugurated in 2001, under the direction of Márcia Fortes, Alessandra d’Aloia, and Alexandre Gabriel, Galeria Fortes Vilaça presents a dynamic program in which Brazilian and foreign artists, young and established, create ambitious exhibitions. Group shows organized by guest curators are also frequent in the program. These collaborations also extend to lectures and publications.

The Gallery participates in the leading international art fairs.

In 2008, Galpão Fortes Vilaça opened in downtown São Paulo. A rustic industrial warehouse with a clearance of 1.500 m², the space houses simultaneously an exhibition space, art storage and a viewing room, all of which accessible to the public. Moveable walls reconfigured by each artist define the exhibition room, thus offering a particular experience to the public in every visit.

Galeria Jaqueline Martins

Contact Jaqueline Martins

BOOTH H22 | Focus Frieze Art Fair

Opened in April 2011, Galeria Jaqueline Martins proposes to recover artistic practices which embody surges of experimentalism in artistic thought, experiences and actions, and discuss the transformation of conceptual art from the 1970s and 1980s in Brazil to the present. The gallery focuses on works and projects that were never, or rarely, exhibited, or which were generally neglected by the commercial and aesthetic stakes of their respective times. Furthermore, in response to the aesthetic revolution that has taken hold of contemporary art in the last forty years, arising from transformations in the cultural, social and political spheres, Galeria Jaqueline Martins aims to foster the correspondence between artists of distinct generations whose practice is aligned by analogous and convergent references.

BOOTH H2 | Main Frieze Art Fair

Mendes Wood DM was founded in 2010 with the purpose to exhibit international and Brazilian artists in a context conducive to critical dialogue and cross-pollination. Central to the gallery’s program is a concern for regional difference and individuation while fostering cosmopolitanism and collaboration. Inspired by a belief that artistic practices broaden the scope of human agency and have the power to both touch and change the world, Mendes Wood DM cultivates a program premised on conceptualism, political resistance and intellectual rigor.
