Resumo

This essay focuses on two editions of the Bienal de São Paulo organised by Brazilian art critic Sheila Leiner, in 1985 and 1987, as a key context to analyse the consolidation of exhibition curatorship within the Bienal’s structure and Brazil’s contemporary art circuit. Built on the analyses of Leirners curatorial projects, I reflect on how and with which implications the conditions and repercussion of these exhibitions may indicate or have affected the direction of the Bienal, structuring its bases to the following globalisation process that circumscribed the shaping of contemporary art biennials.
