Bottega Veneta celebrates Brazilian culture at iconic Casa de Vidro

The Square São Paulo event marks Bottega Veneta ’s 10th anniversary in Brazil. Curated by Mari Stockler, the event evolves beyond the custom-built structures of Dubai and Tokyo to the lush setting of the Glass House , a landmark of Brazilian modernism. During the 11-day program, until Saturday, June 3 , artists and artworks from across Brazil will come together to honor the legacy of Italian Lina Bo Bardi and explore her interaction with Brazilian culture and celebrate Brazilian creativity in all its forms. The event is curated around four themed tours related to time, geometry and spirituality, Brazilian counterculture and the roots of Bossa Nova. Each tour takes visitors on a different route through the house and garden. The participating artists include Arnaldo Antunes, Ibã Sales, Vivian Caccuri, Luiz Zerbini, Carlito Carvalhosa, Rosana Paulino, Alaíde Costa, Lenora de Barros, Cristiano Lenhardt, Leda Catunda, Ricardo Aleixo and João Camarero.

"With The Square São Paulo, we delve into her revolutionary thinking. The event is conceived as a dialogue. We provoke time by contrasting Lina's objects with works by modern and contemporary artists in an exchange between past, present and possible futures," he adds. The Square São Paulo is the latest in the brand’s cultural exchange series , The Square, first presented in Dubai in 2022, followed by a second edition in Tokyo. Under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy, the series brings together artists, guests and the public in immersive, location-specific events that inspire curiosity and dialogue and champion Bottega Veneta’s values of craftsmanship, creativity and self-expression.
