O Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo is pleased to announce the selected projects, through Notice nº 01/2022, to receive grants from the MAM São Paulo Research Laboratory.

MAM is grateful to the more than 40 registrants from various regions of Brazil who sent projects, confirming the wide reach of the Laboratory. Considering the thematic lines disclosed by the Notice and the quality of the proposed research, as well as the most emerging institutional interests, we would like to announce the three chosen projects:

The MAM São Paulo Research Lab, by encouraging research, aims to expand dialogues between the museum's collection and recent bibliography; enable the emergence of new approaches to the works and artists that make up the history of the collection itself; and, also, provide critical, thematic analyses, and documentary surveys to expand the study of the history of modern and contemporary Brazilian art.

The proponents selected by the 2022 Notice carried out the research for a period of 7 months, between June and December of that year, with the results published from the beginning of the following year.

Cauê Alves, chief curator of the museum, says that “MAM is very happy with the response we received from the Research Laboratory Notice. Great proposals were submitted, but in the end the Evaluation Committee considered those that demonstrated the most direction in terms of research development, and we are excited about the possible results”.

We congratulate the selected projects for presenting critical and unique perspectives! We also take this opportunity to thank all researchers who submitted research proposals to the Laboratory through the Notice. We encourage you to sign up again for a future edition, and we wish you much success with your respective research.
