Instituto de Arte Contemporânea celebrates the centenary of Luiz Sacilotto with a series of special events

In celebration of the centenary of Luiz Sacilotto (1924-2003), the Instituto de Arte Contemporânea (IAC) is organizing a series of dedicated events this May and June. 

From May 22nd to June 19th, the event Conversas & Caminhos [Conversations & Paths] will take place, featuring guided visits to the exhibition "Sacilotto em movimento" [Sacilotto in Motion] at Casa do Olhar, in Santo André, as well as to the artist's public art projects around the city. This exhibition provides a biographical approach, showcasing works, projects, studies, and documents from various phases of the artist's career, highlighting his civic influence, social and cultural relations, and interest in public space, fostering a discussion on the contemporary relevance of his work. 

At the same time, from May 23rd to June 21st, the Laboratório de Práticas Educacionais [Educational Practices Laboratory] will be held at the IAC. This exhibition of archives and processes aims to facilitate access and research development, promoting intellectual production and practical experimentation in artistic and cultural mediation. 

To mark the conclusion of this cycle of celebrations, on June 22nd, from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM, the IAC invites you to the "Ateliê Aberto [Open Studio]" of the Sacilotto Centenary program. This event offers an open creative space inspired by the artist's practices, promoting dialogue with the studies and documents in the IAC's collection. The activity aims to stimulate creativity and the exchange of ideas and knowledge in a collaborative environment, involving various techniques and materials. 

The program is organized by the IAC Residência Educativa [IAC Educational Residency], which is part of the centenary celebrations of Luiz Sacilotto. The program offers scholarships for university students, including research and methodological practices. Free entrance.
