Traço Descontínuo: Coleção Norlinda e José Lima – Uma seleção [Broken line: the Norlinda and José Lima Collection – a selection]
19 october 2013 — 3 may 2014
Curator: Miguel Amado
“Traço Descontínuo is the first exhibition that reviews the Norlinda and José Lima Collection. The exhibition does not follow any given point of view, as habitually done when approaching a collection that has already been explored and shown. On the contrary, it reveals the collection in its multiple dimensions. This project avails itself less of the primacy of a temporary exhibition than of the principle of constant installation within an institution. However, this is not a mere presentation of the collection as the artworks are not shown according to the relevance of the respective authors in the configuration of the collection (as is usual in institutions) but according to a personal reading of the Norlinda and José Lima Collection, framed by the curator’s ideas and concerns regarding contemporary art.
