“Porquê começar sempre com um círculo?” by Run Jiang – 27/09 – 08/11/2024
In the black-and-white world of her playful yet serious ink drawings, the Lisbon-based Chinese artist, Run Jiang, reflects on her creative process: why does she always start with a circle?
“Whole River of Light” by Karishma D’Souza & Le Phi Long – 27/07 – 20/09/2024
This two-person exhibition featuring Karishma D’Souza and Le Phi Long took viewers on a poetic journey through hidden narratives in cultural landscapes, reflecting on how they have shaped generations. While Long’s work explores religious practices among Cambodia’s floating community at Kampong Luong, presented through sketches and a video intervention, D’Souza’s intimate and metaphorically vibrant works on paper and canvas evoke memories and different perceptions of social realities. Together, their distinct perspectives create a dialogue, unfolding collective and personal stories while revealing the layered meanings within landscapes.

It’s God’s laughter that you place on us in a cardboard claw.

“Trago seu temor de volta” by R.T. Snott – 30/11/2023 – 28/01/2024
“alias:” by Pierre Delalande (curated by Pedro Proenca) – 14/10 – 26/11/2023
The artist as editor? The book covers like allegorical appearances? Or as aphorisms endowed with images? Can a cover be an autobiography? And how many autobiographies are three hundred covers? Pierre Delalande (born in Avignon in 1946) extends his megalomaniac condensation project in this exhibition; in other words, he summarizes by amplifying. Starting with the French edition of his book Lego Hegel, Delalande created the label “alias:,” which began as a parody of the publishing house Allia. It is from the expansion of this act that this exhibition is born: “aliás:,” like someone who insists, adds, means something else, perhaps. “aliás:” is thus the exemplary example of exemplification. Or an imagery-philosophical diary.
