The Gallery Marilia Razuk presents ‘Poetics to Postpone the End of the World’, which has productions by artists that were featured in the second half of the 20th century. The works are a reflection of each other's personal interactions with the world around them. Among the artists are José Leonilson, Eleanor cook, Johanna Calle, Maria Laet, Vanderlei Lopes and Mariana Serri.

The Galeria Nara Roesler presents in Frieze's face-to-face and online formats a dialogue of the different practices in the portrait of the “I” from the point of view of three Brazilian artists: Cristina Channel, Carlito Carvalhosa and Amelia Toledo. The selection of works brings the opportunity to understand how the various forms of the portrait of themselves end up coinciding. The exhibition features iconic works by Carlitos in the mirror, Cristina's engagement with abstract portraits, and Amelia's interactive works with sounds. The objective is to show the plurality and freedom that must exist when there is the narrative of construction of the image itself.

The Mendes Wood DM will also be at Frieze in a hybrid way (in-person and online) and features a special selection of works by some artists represented by the gallery: Solange Pessoa, Sonia Gomes, Rubem Valentim, Paulo Monteiro, Marina Perez Simão, Giangiacomo Rossetti, Maaike Schoorel, Wallace Pato, Paulo Nazareth, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Paloma Bosquê, Lynda Benglis, Sofia Borges and Neïl Beloufa.
