Artistas Plásticos – Lojas com História
“shop signs”, 2023
Vista Alegre (Chiado), Lisbon
22 March – 22 April 2023

Until the 22nd of April, between Largo do Rato and Largo do Chiado, an outdoor exhibition route formed by 10 works conceived especially for this
exhibition by 10 guest artists, distributed by 10 historic shop windows is proposed. An initiative developed by EGEAC, in collaboration with the Stores with History Project by the Lisbon City Council.
Original pieces of contemporary art interact with traditional trade, bringing together artists from different generations and crossing techniques and
materials as diverse as leds, clay, stones, mirrors, porcelain and video projection, between painting, sculpture and installation.
Inspired by the existence and memory of the stores, together with their assets, the works aim to draw attention to the cultural and historical
heritage of the city and to enhance the intersection of audiences, thus adding a new chapter to the long history of these iconic spaces.

CAM in Motion: Gabriela Albergaria – Can we go in a new direction?
Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian
Praça do Centro Comercial Fonte Nova, Lisbon
5 March – 31 July 2023
1 April: Conversa: Guardiões de sementes – Porquê preservar as variedades tradicionais?

Gabriela Albergaria presents a site-specific project installed in a shipping container located in the square outside the Fonte Nova Shopping Centre, in Benfica.

In her latest installation, the artist combines the themes that have long characterised her work, linking cultural, historical and economic relations to nature in its Western tradition. In Gabriela Albergaria’s work, these relations are expressed and explored by reflecting on the garden and landscape (as natural spaces that have been designed, built and are managed) and on the acclimatisation/displacement of plants as a symbol of intensive, extractivist practices in the broader context of the colonial project (colonisation of nature).

CAM in Motion is an ‘outdoor’ programme that brings together a series of site-specific interventions by artists and exhibitions with works from the Collection in different spaces in the city of Lisbon and its surroundings.

EDP Art Reef

“The Art Reef project combines the creative power of Vhils with the creative power of nature. Art has been recruited to raise awareness of defending the ocean. The 13 pieces in this installation were created from materials that, in the past, created electricity to heat and light our homes.
The materials have been removed from the coal-fired power stations of EDP, which now has the goal of transitioning to energy produced by renewable technologies instead of by fossil fuels. The artist transformed these materials into works of art and, in turn, nature will transform the works of art over time into an ecosystem for marine life.
This installation is a dialogue between art and nature, following the principle of creating a new, re-purposing materials being a recurring feature of the works of Vhils, as he reinterprets them and gives them an artistic meaning and new role. This dialogue aligns with the commitment by EDP to choose the path to decarbonisation.”
