Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce a new performance piece conceived by Pope.L for the 32nd São Paulo Bienal. Performers dressed in Festa de Debutante-inspired constumes will walk and dance in a carefully mapped-out route that addresses political and social circumstances throughout the city of São Paulo. The four-day long, 24-hour a day performance seeks to deal with the theatricality of the recent political frictions and visible social inequalities in Brazil.
The performance will begin at 2:00 pm on September 7th at Vale do Anhangabaú and will end at 2:00 pm on September 10th.

Artist Pope. L has a much-buzzed about performance for the biennial slated for September 7. Baile is described by the artist as “a physical vocabulary developing in response to the city and the manifestations (or protests) that occur. It’s the idea that no matter how desperate the politics, the party will go on.”
