Mission_

Mission_

 
Canal Contemporâneo is dedicated to Brazilian contemporary art, its circuits and systems, to work on its communication and records. Through the production of content and audiovisual actions promotes critical reflection on art in its political context.
 

History_

 
On December 1st, 2000, both website and the first electronic invitation were released, preceding the e-nformes newsletter, and since then, Canal Contemporâneo plays a key role in the history and growth of Digital Arts and Visual Arts in Brazil. The various sections of the website gather images and texts about events and artworks which are sent by the professional circuit and processed by Canal’s staff. Articles on contemporary art and public cultural policies of Brazilian magazines and newspapers are republished generating discussion and political mobilization. Documentary videos, the realization of Prêmio Registros (Records Award) and social networking actions intend to stimulate the audiovisual production in our context. This entire process, stored and disseminated, forms the collective memory of the current Brazilian contemporary art scene in a unique and comprehensive art archive.

Since 2002 Canal Contemporâneo is supported by memberships – users (artists, critics, curators, researchers, teachers, students, journalists, collectors, dealers) and organizations (galleries, production companies, museums, awards, festivals) – and sponsored by Petrobras since 2005, with the support of the Law of Incentive to the Culture Ministry of Culture.
