Condo São Paulo 2019

Galeria PM8, Spain

in Sé Galeria, Brazil

After a successful first edition, held in 2018, the Condo project returns to São Paulo this time featuring 11 international galleries in 9 different São Paulo venues. Condo is a large-scale collaborative exhibition between international galleries. Host galleries share their spaces with visiting galleries - either by co-curating an exhibition or by dividing their spaces. The initiative encourages debate and re-evaluation of existing exhibition models, pooling resources to propose a more conducive environment for galleries to exhibit new formats in international exchanges.
