São Paulo, April 2020 – Amid the closing of exhibitions and the retraction of the arts market due to the new coronavirus, to 10ª 3M Art Show, one of the longest-running events in the São Paulo visual arts scene, is an opportunity for artists to be able to develop new paid projects. The Exhibition opens a public notice that includes the participation of artists from all over the country, including foreigners residing in Brazil for more than two years and also Brazilians living abroad. The announcement reinforces the objective of seeking a reflection on contemporary art dialogue in the public space, promote the democratization of access to art and boost national artistic production.

To celebrate its 10th edition, the Exhibition will present works by ten artists, seven guests and three through public notice, promoting the regional and cultural plurality of the event. This year's curator is the curator and researcher Camila Bechelany, that proposes the theme "Common place: crossings and communities in the city ” as an opportunity to develop issues such as accessibility, collectivity, collaboration, diversity and the possibilities of coexistence in the public space thought as a common good.
The concept defined by Camila Bechelany for the 10th Mostra 3M de Arte, that occupies the Ibirapuera Park for the first time, one of his inspirations is the following quote by modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi: “When the space is entirely familiar, it becomes a place. ” This statement has a congruence when it comes to this park, a space sought by those seeking peace, socialization, leisure, contact with nature and, also, with art. “The call for proposals encourages artists to think of various layers of bringing people closer to this place, and also the green space as resistance and valorization of what is common to all, regardless of social class or age group ”, account Camila Bechelany.
To participate in the public notice, it is enough to present projects that are connected with this theme, not only in content, but also in format. Being an unpublished work, that dialogue with the common public and that resist climate factors and human interventions are some of the evaluation criteria. Each selected artist will receive a R $ fee 5.000,00 and the amount of R $ 25.000,00 as a production budget, including transportation, installation and uninstallation of the work.

“Taking the Exhibition to Ibirapuera Park is a decision that aims to really bring art to the routine of people, who seek this space for many different goals. And it doesn't matter why this person is there or how old they are, she will be able to access and interact with a work of art, that somehow will dialogue with her, providing accessibility in the broadest sense of the word. ” says Fernanda Del Guerra, director of Elo 3, founder and organizer of the event.
