Two art exhibitions are happening at the same time inside an art gallery. It worth a visit!

If you are in São Paulo and want to organize a tour to spend some time visiting galleries and art exhibitions, here is an advice where you can kill two birds with one stone. At the Art Gallery Mendes Wood you can find two exhibitions: Four Walls of the Spanish artist (who lives in Brazil since 2004), Daniel Steegmann Mangrané; and Don Dudley, organized by Simon Watson, (living and NY and SP).

Four Walls is based on various sources and the effect is strangely fascinating. The exhibition presents four pieces that explore the semiotic structure of the projection.

Don Dudley was born in Los Angeles, California in 1930 and exhibited widely in the United States and Europe in the first part of his career. For the exhibition, Simon Watson selected paintings in modular panels of monochrome aluminum and watercolors, from 1966 to 1974.

The first Insidesaopaulo Experience was a great event! Check it out!

I would like to say thank you to everyone who had the chance to go to first meeting organized by the blog at the restaurant Estação SP, last Saturday 26th.

About 15 people got together last Saturday bringing their stories and reasons why they are currently living in São Paulo. There were people from England, Australia, Egypt, Spain, Finland, Canada and Brazil, of course...

Everyone had a different story to tell about their life experiences, where they came from and expectations about the brand new life. However, amoung all the reasons there is something in common. Most of them are here for love. At least three couples (composed by a male foreigner and a Brazilian woman) decided to live in São Paulo (and have recently arrived here) to get in contact with the current developing economy and also with this intriguing Brazilian culture of their wives.

It was a great event and we hope to organize plenty more. Keep reading insidesaopaulo to find out what comes next.

Thank you guys for coming to the event and thank you Tiago, for letting us invade your restaurant.
