WELCOME TO THE PREVIEW – PIVO’S ANNUAL AUCTION!

The opening of the 2024 Annual Auction is scheduled for October 25, Friday, starting at 7pm, with a special event that will provide first access to the artworks donated for the event. This year, over 170 artists are collaborating with the initiative, reinforcing our network movement, which impacts the production of art and culture in Brazil and abroad, involving artists, the public, institutions, galleries, art collectors, cultural supporters, and all professionals working in the sector.

For this celebration, the menu will be signed by Chef Ina de Abreu, from Bahia and founder of the restaurant Mestiço. With an international career, Chef Ina brings a multicultural and contemporary touch to her cuisine, combining elements of Bahian and Thai cooking.

The party will be hosted by DJs Millos Kaiser and Ademar Britto. Millos, from Rio de Janeiro, is a music researcher, co-founder of the label Selva Discos and the Selvagem party, and has participated in various festivals around the world. Ademar, from Manaus, is a collector, curator, and DJ who frequently performs at national and international events in the art scene.

WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU!

Since our last meeting, we have remained active and close to our audience. In the first half of the year, we presented at Pivô the exhibition Corpo-casa: dialogues between Carolee Schneemann, Diego Bianchi, and Márcia Falcão, which had more than 6,000 visitors, an unprecedented encounter between generations and languages that highlighted their contributions to contemporary debates on moving images, exploring themes such as identity, gender, and sexuality, while celebrating Carolee’s legacy.

The artistic residency program, held between our locations in São Paulo and Salvador, has contributed to the development and production of over 30 artists, with some residencies concluding in November this year.

With just over a year since Pivô’s arrival in Salvador, and after years of exchanges and dialogues, we have expanded our activities in the city with a culturally significant interdisciplinary project: the revitalization of the Ladeira da Misericórdia/Coatí complex, designed by Lina Bo Bardi, in partnership with the city government and in dialogue with the Bardi Institute.

The Annual Auction is more than just a charitable event; it is a moment to celebrate collective achievements and envision a future that ensures continued support for the artistic community. Supporting Pivô means ensure its catalytic role in contemporary Brazilian artistic production in all its essence.
