Mercosul Biennial

Bienal de Artes Visuais do Mercosul

Organized since 1997 in Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The Biennial is mainly dedicated to artists from countries of the Mercosur. The "Common Market of the South" was established in 1991 by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, with Bolivia and Chile as associated partners.

Since the 6th edition, the curatorial model of the Mercosul Biennial has changed. Until the 5th editon, the Biennial was based on national representations, but up from the 6th Mercosul Biennial in 2007, a curatorial team works on a joint project under the coordination of the chief curator. It was seen to be a necessary step on the route to valuing a cultural geography created from the voice of the artist to go beyond geopolitical boundaries.
