“[in] sets” exhibition by Nélia Duarte Date: December 2, 2022 to January 6, 2023 Location: LAC – Creative Activities Laboratory Free entrance 🇧🇷 Synopsis | This exhibition results from accidental assemblages. Pieces that, when finished, find a pair, or pairs, in previous works. It is not, therefore, subject to a theme – although it incorporates it – nor does it follow the rigor of a chronological order. The pieces are linked through emotional dialogues that are established and can be observed and understood through the drawing and/or color selection. Thematic incorporation is understood in the sometimes caricatured representation of the figures, but also in the geometry that reveals a need for concreteness and limits. 🇧🇷 Bio | Born in Vila do Bispo in 1962. He has lived in Lagos since 1965, where he studied and worked. Curious and self-taught, she started drawing and painting in 2013 with a preference for oil; she idealizes in a passionate exercise, often influenced by literary suggestion, another of her great passions.

Between 2014 and 2016 she attended a technical course in Multimedia and experimented with new approaches to visual arts, namely […]

“Future Past” Exhibition by Maria Renée Morales Lam Curated by João Moniz Convent of Espírito Santo Art Gallery, Loulé opening 17 december 18h00 Does the street become more mine the more I observe it and the more I use it? The work of Maria Renée Morales Lam presents a physical-material and imaginary journey through the city, showing evidence of an intimate relationship between the past and matter, where the function of the artifact is diluted in the act of contemplation. Architectural components are compiled as samples of a public memory underlying a collective imaginary that, without realizing it, we forcefully distort. The older work invites us to reflect on the way in which history is being preserved – what we choose to protect or forget, and how this influences the construction and accelerated transformation of the contemporary city. In his most recent work, he tries to exalt the presence and corporeality of city ornaments forgotten in everyday life. “As an incessant effort to belong somewhere, I draw an invisible map of my daily path, reformulating these symbols that represent moments, objects, places and situations, in an attempt to reconcile my own history in a territory that until recently was unknown.
