The São Paulo Biennial Foundation appointed the economist and researcher Moacir dos Anjos and the art critic Agnaldo Farias as curators-in-chief of the Biennial's 29th edition, which will take place from 21 September - 12 December 2010. The Biennial's theme, Art and Politics, is inspired by a line of the poet Jorge de Lima (1895-1953): "Há sempre um copo de mar para um homem navegar" (There is always a glass of sea for a man to navigate).

According to curator Moacir dos Anjos, the 29th edition, organized from a discursive platform, will underline the ambiguous character of art, which translates at the same time the experience of the world and produces a vision potentially able to transform this experience.

Together with the two chief curators, a team of 5 foreign curators will assist in the selection of artists and in the conception of the exhibition: Rina Carvajal, Sarat Maharaj, Fernando Alvim, Yuko Hasegawa, and Chus Martínez
