Feixe de Luz: Escultura Projetada, Cinema Exposto [Light Beam: projected sculpture, exposed cinema]
22 october 2022 — 19 february 2023
Curator: Andreia Magalhães
Devoted to the formal and conceptual relations between cinema and sculpture, Light Beam: projected sculpture, exposed cinema, unveils a century of dialogue between the two Arts and a mutual process of profound transformation, which has unfolded and became more complex throughout the 20th century to the present
day. Film as a document that becomes a work of art, film as a possibility of staging and rendering sculpture performative, film as a possibility of combining opposites (material/immaterial; shadow/light; volume/projection; ephemeral/perpetual), but also sculpture as an image-producing device are aspects that run through the exhibition.
Artists Constantin Brancusi, Mary Ellen Bute, Hollis Frampton, João Maria Gusmão + Pedro Paiva, Nancy Holt, Mark Leckey, Babette Mangolte, Lis Rhodes, Susanne Themlitz, Fischli & Weiss e Francisco Tropa.
