leAD  LONDON. Blain Southern, the new venture headed up by Haunch of Venison founders Harry Blain and Graham Southern, opens in October with an exhibition of works by Mat Collishaw—one of several artists to have resigned from the Christie’s-owned Haunch of Venison gallery. Collishaw said he has always “enjoyed a fruitful working relationship with Harry Blain in the past”, and is “optimistic that his new venture will live up to its promise”. The inaugural show, which will feature new works including gothic altarpieces and surveillance mirrors, opens at 27 Dering Street on 12 October. Bill Viola and Rachel Howard have also resigned, while Anton Henning’s website lists Blain Southern as its London gallery. Jeroen Verhoeven, who worked with Haunch in the past, is also said to have joined Blain Southern. The Art Newspaper understands that several other artists are also in negotiation. READ MORE

exhibitions  With works by more than 160 international artists dotted around the show’s permanent site, Oscar Niemeyer’s 30,000 sq. m modernist pavilion located in Ibirapuera Park, there will be plenty of art on show at the 29th edition of the São Paulo Bienal. This abundance is in contrast to the 2008 Bienal when the main exhibition space of Niemeyer’s building, its 250m-long second floor, was left empty. Former director Ivo Mesquita decided instead to pursue a programme consisting mainly of lectures, discussions and performances that examined the history and potential of biennial exhibitions. His decision sent shockwaves through the art world: since it was founded in 1951, the São Paulo Bienal has been the most important international exhibition in Latin America.
