Acervo Vivo [Living Collection] is a program that explores Almeida & Dale’s collection through exhibitions organized by both guest and in-house curators and researchers.

The exhibitions are based on a careful and non-hierarchical selection of works that propose dialogues between contemporary artists and those from different generations. They transcend chronological boundaries, create unexpected connections, reveal new layers of meaning, and foster encounters between distinct times and narratives.

By activating the collection as a field of ongoing investigation, Acervo Vivo reaffirms the gallery’s commitment to valuing artistic creation in its multiple temporalities, contributing to its preservation, dissemination, and continual reinterpretation.

Living Collection: Experiencing Transcendence: A Choreography of Paintings opens on Saturday, July 3rd, at Almeida & Dale Caconde 152. Taking a work by Rubens Gerchman as its starting point, the exhibition proposes a vertiginous journey through works from different periods and movements, including abstractionism, constructivism, pop, and contemporary painting. It unfolds as a dance that invites a hallucinatory experience—rooted in the senses and in the suspension of the boundaries of traditional art historiography.
