The curator of the 30th Bienal de São Paulo, Luis Pérez-Oramas, selected participants  for the 55th Venice Biennale, which opens on 1 June 2013. The artists Hélio Fervenza and Odires Mlászho will present work alongside selected works by Bruno Munari, Max Bill and Lygia Clark.

Between June 1 and November 24 the 55th edition of the Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte - La Biennale di Venezia is taking place. Curated by Massimiliano Gioni, the Biennale was titled of The Encyclopedic Palace. The Brazilian Pavilion will be curated by Venezuelan Luis Pérez-Oramas who will highlight the themes and ideas that governed the  the 30th Bienal de São Paulo - The imminence of the poetic (2012 .) 
The artists Hélio Fervenza (Anne of Deliverance, 1963) and Odires Mlászho (Mandirituba, 1960) were invited to produce new works for the exhibition. As pointed out by Pérez-Oramas: "Both are artists who undertook a dense production, sustained by a systematic effort to formal intelligence and whose works, complex and rich, worth receiving further studied by the contemporary critics. Their works that are little known outside Brazil, will no doubt be revelations to international audiences.
