Arco Lisboa Opening Night

The most celebrated Portuguese art fair, Arco Lisboa, held its 7th edition between May 23rd and 26th at Cordoaria Nacional. Featuring 84 galleries from 15 countries, the event is treasured by the growing local contemporary art scene, which is increasingly getting more international attraction and improving structures for local artists, independent spaces, and museums.

Paula Rego at The House of Stories in Cascais

Paula Rego didn’t want to call the space dedicated to her work - which was inaugurated in 2009 in Cascais - a museum. She called it 'The House of Stories'. She donated more than 500 of her artworks that year, and even more in the following decade, to the venue dedicated to celebrating her work. Everything she produced was telling stories. Narratives about women and not-so-beautiful tales about what is expected of them. Subjects that were - and still are - taboo. Desire, pain, depression, abortion, sexism.

Duplex Air Residency

Earlier this week, Lisbon collectors checked out Duplex Air, the collective artist studio located in the traditional neighbourhood of Graça, in Lisbon. The visit took place in October 2023 in one of the most exciting art residencies in the city.

Joana Vasconcelos' Studio

Following the visit to Joana Vasconcelos' exhibition at MAAT last January, this month we took our collectors for a visit to the artist's studio in Lisbon. It has nothing to do with the stereotype of a small place full of art materials, the typical image of a solitary creature that works, lives and succeeds alone. What Joana Vasconcelos has is an industry!

Urban Revolution - an exhibition featuring Street Art

Urban art is perhaps the most popular art genre in the world today. “Creating work that is relatable may be the key to the genre’s global appeal”, defend Pauline Foessel and Pedro Alonzo in the curatorial text of the mind-blogging and colourful “Urban (R)evolution” show, in Lisbon.

Lisbon Art Weekend

The oldest and most important gallery in Lisbon

Celebrating its 60th anniversary, Galeria 111 has become a sort of institution in Portugal: it has launched the careers of some of the most important Portuguese artists, such as Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Paula Rego, and Lourdes Castro.

Jonathas de Andrade at the MAAT

The presence of the male body has taken center stage in his practice as a starting point to address important (and sometimes taboo) issues such as eroticism, male romantic encounters, erotic splendor, and clandestine meeting spots. This homoerotic gaze was the strong narrative focused by Eye-Spark curators.

Joana Vasconcelos' solo exhibition at MAAT

We started this year with a visit to the most impressive exhibition on view in Lisbon, Plug-in, a solo exhibition by Joana Vasconcelos, one of the biggest Portuguese artists and known for her impressive and colorful large-scale installations.

Arco Lisboa

The most important art fair in Portugal, Arco Lisboa held its sixth edition between May 25-28 at the charming building of Cordoaria Nacional, located right in front of Tejo River.
