Brazil ArtFair
Midtown Boulevard, Miami
This first edition of the fair presents work from 15 art galleries, an exhibition of work by Brazilian artists and Orchestra Brasil, a selection of contemporary furniture by 18 leading design studios.
Brazil ArtFair, the first fair dedicated to Brazilian contemporary art and design, will debut in Miami December 4 to 8.
Housed in a 25,000-square-foot exposition center on Midtown Boulevard, Brazil ArtFair will present work from 15 Brazilian art galleries, over 100 artists, an exhibition of work by Brazilian artists curated by Luisa Duarte, and Orchestra Brasil, a selection of contemporary furniture by 18 Brazil's leading design studios.
Brazil ArtFair has gathered a strong group of carefully selected Brazilian galleries, artists, and designers—both established and emerging—and has approached the fair with a strong curatorial point of view. The show aspires to not only inform the world market about the dynamic new work that is being produced in Brazil but also to educate the attendees about the country's complex political, social, and cultural realities. An important part of this mission, the curated exhibition, Tempo Suspenso (Suspended Time) addresses the political concerns that have galvanized contemporary Brazilian artistic practice and examines relationships between art, politics, and civic engagement. The exhibition will feature works, not for sale, by 15 renowned Brazilian artists, including Mauro Restiffe, Rivane Neuenschwander and Pedro Motta.
The exhibiting galleries will present a wide range of artistic voices including the sophisticated popular art works from Galeria Estação, street art from Galeria Movimento and Galeria Logo and conceptual contemporary art from Central Galeria de Arte and Emma Thomas. In addition to the work of young Brazilian artists—such as Ícaro Lira, Frederico Filippi and Mayana Redin, from Galeria Um Zero Três (103)—visitors will have the opportunity to acquire work by prestigious established Brazilian artists, such as Claudia Jaguaribe and Vania Mignone.

West Encounters East: a one-hour documentary by filmmaker and art historian Stella M. Holmes will be shown daily during the fair. The film explores the themes of immigration, alienation, and assimilation through work of well-known Latin American artists with Eastern heritage, such as Japanese-Brazilians Yutaka Toyota, Takashi Fukus Megumi Yuasa, and Kazuo Okubo, descendants of a century-old diaspora that has given São Paulo the largest Japanese population outside Japan.
