The fifth edition of ABERTO takes place between March 8 and May 31, 2026, returning to São Paulo after its international debut in Paris and, for the first time, occupying the iconic Casa Bola by Eduardo Longo, opened to the public for the first time. In this edition, the project also unfolds into an unprecedented urban dimension with the creation of ABERTO Rua, which brings artistic interventions to Avenida Faria Lima. Over nearly three months, around 60 works of art and design by more than 50 Brazilian and international artists occupy the approximately 1,000 m² of the house and different points throughout the surrounding urban area.
The exhibition is curated by Filipe Assis, Claudia Moreira Salles, and Kiki Mazzucchelli, with a dedicated architecture section curated by guest curator Fernando Serapião. Most of the works were conceived especially for the occasion, in direct dialogue with the experimental character of Casa Bola, understood as a habitable sculpture. In partnership with ETEL, the edition presents the launch of a previously unseen chair by Eduardo Longo, as well as two new projects by Claudia Moreira Salles: the relaunch of the Siri armchairs, in collaboration with visual artist Luísa Matsushita, and the ABERTO side table, which revisits the constructive principle of the easel launched in the inaugural edition of the exhibition in 2022. The exhibition also includes a section dedicated to Eduardo Longo’s career, bringing together projects, drawings, works, photographs, and models spanning decades of his production.
