Jochen Volz on Living Uncertainty

Curator Jochen Volz talks about the 32^nd São Paulo Biennial exhibition titled "Live Uncertainty." With curators Júlia Rebouças, Gabi Ngcobo, Lars Bang Larsen and Sofía Olascoaga, Volz designed the exhibition to resonate with the park’s spatial dynamic; many of the installations in the exhibition are living environments. Allowing political protests within the pavilion, taking performances out into the city, and involving local communities in creating projects, the biennial demonstrates the vital role of creativity in a world where the future of free expression, human rights and the environment seems uncertain.
