Tony Conrad (Concord, New Hampshire, USA, 1940 – Cheektowaga, New York, 2016) was one of the biggest names in experimentalism in Western art in the last fifty years. His work covers areas as diverse as music, installation, painting or cinema, and his works are critical and humorous responses to the most varied normative aspects of culture. For this exhibition, included in a tour whose last appearance took place at MAMCO, in Geneva, several of his most important works were brought together, including the Yellow Movies (1972-73) or the installations Panopticon (1988) and WiP (2013). , but also a set of the “acoustic tools” he invented and some of the works in which he wanted to dissect the functioning of contemporary media and institutions. The historic The Flicker (1966) will also be present in this anthology, with two presentations of this landmark of structuralist cinema being planned in the auditoriums of Culturgest. Throughout his public career, Conrad’s works have been shown in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Documenta or the Venice Biennale. This is the first exhibition of this unavoidable figure of contemporaneity in our country. Source: […]

Strangeness first and curiosity later: these were the ingredients that allowed the intercultural dialogue that gave rise to the introduction of original iconographic themes and repertoires that are reflected in the works of art present in the Portuguese Presence Exhibition in Asia. Thus, objects from India, produced from European models, but with local techniques and raw materials – to initially satisfy an ecclesiastical clientele and, later, orders from European noble and bourgeois elites – are manifested here in the liturgical implements, textiles, jewellery, furniture, ivory objects, safes, counters, revealing the symbolism and symbiosis of the two cultures. The same happened in Japan, where the contacts established between the Japanese and the first Portuguese, gave rise to a unique artistic manifestation known as “namban art” of which the screens, counters, oratories, helmet and stirrups are eloquent examples. The great fascination exercised by Chinese and Japanese cultures, since the 16th century, remained until the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, with Portuguese intellectuals Camilo Pessanha and Manuel Teixeira Gomes, who became reference figures in the art of collecting. By collecting iconic objects from these cultures – such as scroll paintings, Chinese painting albums, costumes, objects for scholars, Chinese snuff […]

Visual Natures The Politics and Culture of Environmentalism in the 20th and 21st Centuries The result of more than two years of critical research in climate science, creative practices and ecopolitics, Naturezas Visuais is the continuation of the journey started in 2021 with the scientifically based installation Earth Bits – Sentir o Planeta and the public program Climate: Emergency. > Emergente, curated by maat’s first Climatic Collective. This research project studies the practices of collective action at the political, social and cultural level that, in the last hundred years, have been demonstrating how the transforming human understanding of “nature” – philosophical, biological and economic – is in the foundation of our communities’ ways of organizing, subsistence and governance as an expanding planetary model, both conceptually and practically. The resulting mapping makes a cross reading of four themes of study – artistic production and cultural events, technological innovations and scientific discoveries, social movements and reflections on global governance – which follows an approximate chronological order, from the 1950s to the 1950s. our days. To the challenge of the encyclopedic nature of the project, the presentation responds with the organization in three major linked themes – Deep Ecology (1950–1980), Planetary Complex (1990–2010) […]

Guided Tour On the occasion of the Portugal-France 2022 Season, maat presents for the first time in Portugal a broad overview of Antoine de Galbert’s personal collection. Inspired by the history and original function of the exhibition site, the theme of the night quickly established itself. Built at the beginning of the 20th century to supply electricity to Lisbon and its surroundings, the Tejo Power Station is testimony to the transformation that took place at the beginning of the last century with the generalization of electricity and lighting introduced by power stations. Together with the psychoanalysis then emerging, this energetic revolution transformed the night and the relationship we have with it. An inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists, the night continues to feed and impregnate the works with the questions it raises, whether philosophical, political, societal, ecological or scientific. A source of hope or anguish, it is also a space-time of freedom and transgression that is so convenient for creation and which the collection made by Antoine de Galbert echoes. Through a journey conceived as a crossing, from dusk to dawn, from blindness and the loss of references to the hope for better days on the horizon, from night dreams […]

“Lar Doce Lar”, the show that brought together for the first time on stage Joaquim Monchique and Maria Rueff, returns for a new season at Teatro Maria Matos from 7 April. Two elderly women who share a room at the Anturios Dourados Senior Residence embark on a wild competition for a private room after the “departure” of its previous occupant. With the comic brilliance that we are used to, Maria Rueff and Joaquim Monchique unfold into multiple characters and take us on a troubled and hilarious journey through the four corners of this sweet home. “Lar Doce Lar” originally premiered in 2012. With a vibrant text, reinforced by the vivacity and intelligence of Rueff and Monchique’s interpretations, it quickly achieved a great success with the public that would be repeated in 2015. This year the doors of the Anturios Dourados Residence will open again and offer another opportunity to witness live the enormous talent of two absolutely unavoidable names in national comedy. Text from What Matters Is That They Be Happy! by Luisa Costa Gomes Directed by António Pires Scenario F.
