Throughout the project, the artists will share impressions, practices and knowledge with Paulistas while staging exhibitions and installations in a wide variety of media, including photography, sculpture, video, painting, live performance and audio. But the event is not just confined to the Edificio Sampaio Moreira as Red Bull House of Art will be heading out into the huge and bustling city.

The building itself has been adapted to include workshops for each of the artists as well as other rooms for installations, projection rooms and exhibitions, as well as a lounge and an editing/internet room. There will be common spaces for the two main exhibits, the opening and closing of the project, and places for lectures with the curators, art critics and guest artists. The events are open to the public and admission is free.

The first public exhibition will run from October 25 until November 30, and features works by each of the six first-term artists. Then, from December 11-27, there will be an exhibition of all the works created by all 12 artists during their residency in the Red Bull House of Art.

About

Twelve artists are moving into an old skyscraper in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and sharing it for two months as they transform the historic building into Red Bull House of Art.

Built in 1920, Edificio Sampaio Moreira was the first skyscraper in Sao Paulo and stands in the Vale do Anhangabau, in the heart of the city. The area has already been through a golden age and a spell of decline, and is currently going through a period of revitalisation.

Now one of its central structures has become the Red Bull House of Art, a four-month-long project to celebrate the diverse art and culture of Brazil's biggest city. The project will be overseen by Luisa Darte, art critic and independent curator, as the 12 artists live and work in the building over two terms, the first having started on September 13, ending on October 23, the second starting on November 3 and ending on December 18.
