Campos-Pons Performance at 3rd Bahia Biennale

Prospectus artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons (FeFa) performed at the 3rd Bahia Biennale in 2014. The online journal e-flux describes this edition of the Biennale as follows:

“Closing a gap of 46 years since the last edition was closed by the military regime, the state of Bahia has resumed its Biennale of visual arts as a continuity of the 1966 and 1968 editions. It brings back the intentions of the original project: establishing a counter-discourse that is suitable for creating, promoting and establishing alternative routes in the art field, without the need to depend on legitimation from other national and international centres. The Biennale also updates the original project to the current Brazilian and international contexts, where the concepts of center and periphery are being redefined.”
