This exhibition explores the complex, rich relationship between the visual arts and writing in the fields of contemporary art and art brut\/outsider art.<\/p>\n
Since its origin, writing is linked to visual representation; alphabets are visual signs that emerged from the evolution of pictograms (drawings that represent objects). On the other hand, the letters, words, phrases and texts generate visual compositions that contain in themselves the powerful value of thought and communication, allowing for the circulation and transmission of ideas and knowledge. For this reason, many artists throughout the history of art (re) appropriated words in countless variations and contexts: some represent words, letters and alphabets (real or imaginary) in their formal and conceptual capacity: others, are also writers, poets and theoreticians; and there are artists whose work is deeply influenced and contaminated by literature and artists who resort to text and image to create narrative compositions, among a host of infinite possibilities. This exhibition brings together artworks from the Norlinda and Jos\u00e9 Lima<\/a> and the Treger Saint Silvestre<\/a> collections, both on loan at Oliva Art Centre; here, we can observe the multiple configurations and effects of writing on painting, drawing and sculpture in the work of each of these artists. <\/p>\n Imagens, signos e escrita nas cole\u00e7\u00f5es do Centro de Arte Oliva<\/em> takes place in the context of the Festival Poesia \u00e0 Mesa [Poetry at the Table Festival], a project of the S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o da Madeira Municipal Council.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"flx_lyt__title","flx_lyt__title":"Artists"},{"acf_fc_layout":"flx_lyt__text","flx_lyt__text":" Albuquerque Mendes More information about the exhibition<\/a><\/p>\n"}]},"exhib__booklet_download":false,"exhib__room-sheet_download":false,"exhib__dates":{"start":"19\/03\/2021","end":"15\/09\/2021"},"flx_lyt":[{"acf_fc_layout":"flx_lyt__text","flx_lyt__text":" This exhibition explores the complex, rich relationship between the visual arts and writing in the fields of contemporary art and art brut\/outsider art.<\/p>\n Since its origin, writing is linked to visual representation; alphabets are visual signs that emerged from the evolution of pictograms (drawings that represent objects).
