Vortrag Curatorial Studies 

Jochen Volz will present the project for the 32nd Bienal de São Paulo, entitled INCERTEZA VIVA (Live Uncertainty), seeking to reflect on the possibilities offered by contemporary art to harbour and inhabit uncertainties. He will talk about the development of the exhibition in relation to issues that surround and guide contemporary artistic production. Cosmological thoughts, environmental and collective intelligence, natural and systemic ecologies are some of the starting points.

Volz is the curator of the 32nd Bienal de São Paulo. He served as Head of Programmes at the Serpentine Galleries in London; Artistic Director at Instituto Inhotim; and curator at Portikus in Frankfurt. He was co-curator of the international exhibition of the 53rd Biennale di Venezia (2009), the 1st Aichi Triennial in Nagoya (2010) and guest curator of the 27th Bienal de São Paulo (2006). Jochen Volz lives in São Paulo.
