Pivô is a non-profit art space providing a platform for exchange, critical thinking and artistic experimentation inside one of São Paulo’s most iconic modernist buildings, the Copan, projected by Oscar Niemeyer in the city’s central area. Since its inception, in 2012, the institution has enabled and facilitated projects by over two hundred artists and curators both local and international and in all career stages.

Its program is comprised by temporary exhibitions, new commissions, residencies, publications as well as discursive educational public programming, fostering a critical understanding of local and international most pressing issues in art and society. Our core mission is to create growing networks of exchange between artistic and cultural practitioners from different contexts and to provide an active meeting point for an emerging art scene in São Paulo.

Pivô’s activities are made possible through the generous support of a network of corporate and private sponsors and the remaining essential funding comes from grants, special editions developed by the artist in the program and its annual fundraising auction and benefit.

LAST UPDATE:
Andrea Ferrero

1991, Mexico City, Mexico

Andrea Ferrero (Lima, Peru, 1991) is a Peruvian artist who lives and works in Mexico City. Her work critically considers iconographies of power and our relationship with them. Food as spectacle, eating rituals as stagings of power and their relation to architecture and ceremonial aesthetics have framed her most recent body of work, in an effort to expose colonial legacies through strategies of humor and fiction. Her work intends to challenge dominant political ideologies, fantasizing with alternate narratives to official histories, using archival material, imprints, molds and digital processes such as photogrammetry and 3d models as raw material.Andrea holds a BFA in Sculpture from the Pontifcia Universidad Católica del Perú. She was awarded the Hopper Prize in 2021, the Virginia A. Groot Foundation Award 2019 and is a finalist in the Taoyuan International Art Award 2023, Taiwan. She has participated in residency programs such as the SOMA Academic Program in Mexico City; Co.MeRR, Oaxaca; Escuela FLORA, Bogotá; Despina, Rio de Janeiro; MANA Contemporary, New Jersey and Uberbau_House, Sao Paulo. Her solo shows and individual projects include “Piéces detruites”, a performative action presented at Museo Jumex (Mexico City) in 2022, “El baile del centenario” presented at Matamoros 404 (Oaxaca) in 2022, the digital filter LAND!LAND! created in collaboration with LAAA in 2021 and “Mil Maneras de olvidar” presented at Ginsberg Galeria (Lima) in 2017. Amongst her upcoming projects is a residency in HANGAR, Lisbon in april 2023. The artist has participated in Pivô Pesquisa 2023.
