About

Pivô, established in 2012 within the iconic Copan building designed by Oscar Niemeyer in São Paulo, serves as a vibrant non-profit art space dedicated to fostering exchange, critical discourse, and artistic experimentation. Its programming spans temporary exhibitions, new commissions, residencies, publications, and educational initiatives, aiming to cultivate a critical understanding of both local and global concerns in art and society. With a mission rooted in creating networks between cultural practitioners from various backgrounds and acting as a nexus for São Paulo's burgeoning art scene, Pivô thrives on support from a network of corporate, private sponsors, and grants. Pivô Research, the residency arm since 2013, emphasizes artistic research, studio practice, and mentoring, supporting over 300 artists, both Brazilian and international. This free program, through an annual open call, invites artists, curators, and other creatives for 3 to 5-month residencies, fostering an environment ripe for experimentation and dialogue. The program concludes with Open Field, an open studios event, complemented by digital showcases across Pivô’s channels.
