Contemporary Art
The Contemporary Art collection at Instituto Moreira Salles began in 2013 with a focus on current artistic production, represented by active artists and works that explore new directions in creative practice. Much of the collection has been developed in collaboration with the curatorial team through exhibitions or support initiatives. Notable examples include special projects such as Câmera Aberta by Michael Wesely and Offside Brazil, in partnership with Magnum Photos, as well as various works produced with support from the ZUM Photography Grant, awarded annually to two recipients. The collection includes photographs, videos, books, and installations, among other media. A key aim of this collection is to cross artistic boundaries, preserving works such as Brasil X Argentina by Dora Longo Bahia, live broadcasts by Mídia Ninja (2013–2017), the film Casulo by the duo Dias & Riedweg, and the photo series Retrato Falado by Eustáquio Neves.
