Another walk along Paulista took us to Centro Cultural Itau, a "cultural" centre owned by one of the big Brazilian banks. The good news: it's free. The bad news: it's another waste of space. Virtually nothing in it, save for a bit of paint-your-own canvas (if you can be bothered to wait in line long enough) and the usual wannabe multimedia art "installations", ie a couple of monitors and a projector, dull as ditchwater. The same absurdly large number of assistants standing around, talking to each other. Another amateur attempt at "culture" by curators who don't seem to know or care about it. The exhibit that P wanted to see was some kind of robot which apparently quotes Shakespeare. But it was out of action. When will it be back ? "We don't know."
Update: just found some real culture in Sao Paulo: a triple-bill of The Cleveland Show, American Dad and Family Guy on cable TV !
