Journeys through Precarious Areas

5/5/2011 - 8/6/2011


Journeys through Precarious Areas is a project by Paula Valero,produced and organised by Sala Parpalló.

The project is primarily based on the research work carried out by this visual artist through various incursions into the field of interventions in public spaces. Thanks to time spent in other countries and various collaborations with other artists and activist groups, this artist made contacts, explored and, eventually carried out different projects whose common denominator was, and is, using art practice as a tool for social transformation.

Journeying through precarious areas means questioning ourselves about our own discontinuities.

«Impressions and Comments: Contemporary Portuguese Photography»

28/10/2010 - 9/1/2011

 
«Impressions and Comments: Contemporary Portuguese Photography» documents a new moment in art in Portugal, which has practically never been presented as such up until now. The show is one of the most wide-ranging international exhibitions of Portuguese photography. 

João Fernandes, the current director of Fundação de Serralves and curator of the exhibition, has put together photos and installations by 29 Portuguese artists. As he says, «the show will give rise to new readings that will enable a completely new questioning of the use of photography in different fields of contemporary art»
