The Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel prepared a special project for Frieze, titled ‘Unnamable (Unnameable)’. They are photos, paintings, sculptures and audiovisual productions that portray the zeitgeist addressing issues of colonialism, violence, religion, censorship, and the portrait, through Art, of the ways of Brazilian society. The artists participating in this project are: Mauro Restiffe, Tiago Carneiro da Cunha, Yuli Yamagata, Ivens Machado, Ernesto Neto, Erika Verzutti, Adriana Varejao, Cristiano Lenhardt, Marcia Falcão, Tamar Guimarães, Kasper Akhoj, Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca.
The Gallery Marilia Razuk presents ‘Poetics to Postpone the End of the World’, which has productions by artists that were featured in the second half of the 20th century. The works are a reflection of each other's personal interactions with the world around them. Among the artists are José Leonilson, Eleanor cook, Johanna Calle, Maria Laet, Vanderlei Lopes and Mariana Serri.
The Galeria Nara Roesler presents in Frieze's face-to-face and online formats a dialogue of the different practices in the portrait of the “I” from the point of view of three Brazilian artists: Cristina Channel, Carlito Carvalhosa and Amelia Toledo. The selection of works brings the opportunity to understand how the various forms of the portrait of themselves end up coinciding. The exhibition features iconic works by Carlitos in the mirror, Cristina's engagement with abstract portraits, and Amelia's interactive works with sounds. The objective is to show the plurality and freedom that must exist when there is the narrative of construction of the image itself.
The Mendes Wood DM will also be at Frieze in a hybrid way (in-person and online) and features a special selection of works by some artists represented by the gallery: Solange Pessoa, Sonia Gomes, Rubem Valentim, Paulo Monteiro, Marina Perez Simão, Giangiacomo Rossetti, Maaike Schoorel, Wallace Pato, Paulo Nazareth, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Paloma Bosquê, Lynda Benglis, Sofia Borges and Neïl Beloufa.

At NADA House, to CASANOVA presents an installation that connects the works of Ignacio Gatica and Martin La Roche. Ignacio presents a selection of collection watches used in US presidential campaigns, scheduled to play at specific times, related to historical events in which the interventions of the American country in the rest of the world ended up shaping the present. Martin brings pieces of crossword puzzles in different languages forming a great architecture that allows the viewer to reframe the crossword puzzles as a technology to measure the words and meanings that surround us. Both presentations make the audience think about what dictates the way we use our memory and, specifically, which of these memories and events shaped the scope of our gaze.
