Lecture by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev followed by a conversation with Lisette Lagnado, September 16th 2010, Goethe-Institut São Paulo

Within the framework of Fórum Permanente and the Goethe-Institut São Paulo, the following questions are raised: How does dOCUMENTA (13) deal with the social/political context in its curatorial practice?

What are the challenges and opportunities presented by an exhibition of such dimensions and international scope and what can it say about the role of curating contemporary art in a globalized world?

In conversation with Lisette Lagnado, chief curator of the 27th Bienal de São Paulo, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, artistic director of dOCUMENTA (13), will discuss these topics on the occasion of the 29th Bienal de São Paulo (25 September-12 December 2010). Moderation of the debate will be conducted by Ana Leticia Fialho, executive curator of Fórum Permanente.
