UM OLHAR PARA A ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA - SUSAN HILLER: COLEÇÃO DE SERRALVES
2019-04-10
 "Estas músicas são as minhas caixas de madalenas e acenderam muitos momentos espontâneos de lembranças, como canções de amor ouvidas por acaso e que instantaneamente recriam a essência de um verão distante. Sempre que eu ouço uma destas canções, abre-se uma abertura no quotidiano ordinário e o passado emerge abruptamente. A História invade”.
Susan Hiller sobre a obra Die Gedanken sind frei [Os pensamentos são livres], de 2012
A artista Susan Hiller, falecida no dia 28 de janeiro deste ano, deixa como legado uma obra de vasta envergadura: das raízes da antropologia à importância do arquivo, do interesse pelos fenómenos paranormais ao domínio do vídeo e do som. Com o objetivo de homenagear a artista, a Fundação de Serralves realiza dois encontros, o primeiro deles concebido como uma conversa a realizar-se nas galerias do Museu na forma de um depoimento muito pessoal do artista João Penalva, que de perto acompanhou a trajetória de Susan Hiller e cuja obra estabelece um intenso diálogo com o seu trabalho.
Lotação: 25 pessoas Acesso: mediante aquisição de bilhete Museu (emitido no dia)
NOTA: neste dia as galerias do museu estarão abertas até às 20h00 para o público em geral.

"Serralves Collection: 1960-1980” marks the visible and permanent presence of the Serralves Collection in the Serralves Museum as part of a dynamic programme of changing displays. The inaugural display presents works by Portuguese and international artists. This narrative presentation surveys the art produced in the decades considered foundational to the history and development of contemporary art and the place of Portuguese art in that history. As well as iconic art works made between 1960 and 1980, the new displays also include a selection of more contemporary pieces that highlight the continued relevance of these earlier artistic positions and attitudes. The works on view reflect a diversity of artistic production from the 1960s to the present day, while highlighting the unique characteristics of the Serralves Collection, distinguished for its relation of Portuguese and international art from around the globe. With a visually dynamic and rich presentation of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, films and videos, the Collection display surveys various themes central to the artistic practice of the post-art period and influential on the artistic practices of the 21st century, including: materials and process, abstraction and figuration, language and concept, and the body and performativity. The decades surveyed in the exhibition are marked by profound social and cultural changes as well as radical developments in art making. The art of this period reflects a redefinition of artistic forms, media and production, influenced by profound transformations in technology.
The Serralves Collection is a collection of reference that offers a uniquely international context in which to understand contemporary art in Portugal. The Serralves Collection is comprised of works acquired by the Serralves Foundation since its creation in 1989, together with long-term deposits from private and public collections. Deposits that have served as points of reference for the development of the collection include the Collection of the Portuguese Secretariat of State for Culture and the Collection of the Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD). The focus of the Serralves Collection is contemporary art produced from the 1960s to the present day. The inaugural exhibition of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art in 1999, ‘Circa 1968’, served to highlight the 1960s and 70s, a historic period of political, social and cultural change that took place around the world, as seminal decades out of which emerged new paradigms in art making and the beginning of the post-modern era. As part of a continued research and development of the Collection in the twenty-first century, the Serralves Collection aspires to further distinguish itself through its focus on contemporary art's relationship to performance, archi¬tecture and contemporaneity in relation to a post-colonial and globalized present. While resonating with the art and ideas of our recent past, the Collection aims to reflect on how the art of today also anti¬cipates its future.
"Serralves Collection: 1960-1980” is organized by Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art and curated by Suzanne Cotter, Museum Director, with João Ribas, Senior Curator and Deputy Director and Ricardo Nicolau, Deputy to the Director and Curator.
The design of "Serralves Collection: 1960-1980” has been conceived by COR ARQUITECTOS (Roberto Cremascoli and Edison Okumura)

 FROM THE HAND TO APPROPRIATION: WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY ART? Meeting in the exhibition With Sofia Ponte, researcher.
Throughout this conversation, driven by presentation of milestone events in the history of museums, the aim is to establish a space to exchange ideas and pose questions about subjects related to Contemporary Art exhibitions. From the end of the 1960s onwards, a fruitful debate was generated in relation to art museums and exhibitions. This resulted in several reinterpretations of the concept of the exhibition and development of practices initially associated to Institutional Criticism and then, in the 1990s, to Relational Aesthetics. These two tendencies emphasise the legitimacy of artistic strategies in exploring the phenomenon of art as an expression of an activity rooted in a political and economic system and a social and cultural system, from a perspective that questions the function and representation strategies of art museums. In other words, in curatorial activity, for the management of the meaning(s) of artistic practices, in the present and future, artists’ choices increasingly tend not to be taken for granted, and curators have been trying to understand the complexity of the dimensions of curatorial activity, beyond its aesthetic dimension.

 THE PAINTING IN CONTEMPORARY ART. Meeting in the exhibition with Arlindo Silva, artist and investigator.
"Yo-yo" is Ana Manso’s first solo exhibition in a museum. It features recent paintings by the young Portuguese painter and two murals produced directly on the walls of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art’ Contemporary Gallery. The artist meticulously observed the space, using it as a temporary studio during a short period of time. Manso's paintings are based on sophisticated games between figure and background, opacities and transparencies and explore tensions between abstraction and figuration through the use of concrete references that the artist retrieves from various sources - including architectural and decorative details in the urban landscape, images extracted from magazines and books, and details from other artist’s paintings and drawings.
The exhibition is organized by the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art and is curated by Ricardo Nicolau, curator and deputy to the museum’s director.
The exhibition is integrated in the Contemporary Projects programme - a dynamic platform for the presentation of works by emerging or established artists, who explore different disciplines in order to develop new art forms relevant to a younger generation.

 INSTALLATION AS AN ART WORK: WHEN IS IT CONTEMPORARY ART? Encounter in the exhibition, PHILIPPE PARRENO: A TIME COLOURED SPACE with Sofia Ponte, researcher.
Over the course of this talk, we intend to establish a space for the exchange of ideas and questions about issues related to artistic installations. Contemporary artists can opt between an intimidating range of choices and possibilities for articulating and recombining different strategies and tendencies in their work. This wide range of possibilities doesn’t simplify the artist’s task. On the contrary, the multitude of options currently available to the artist reflects the complex dynamics of contemporary artistic practices. Certain conceptual and post-conceptual works of art are often called installations - a contemporary work of art that does not look like a work of art, in the conventional sense of the term. In fact certain objects look more like "art" than others. This is because artistic practices are not only constituted by an aesthetic dimension or by stable properties. There are artistic proposals that are "art" because they function symbolically as such, e.g. certain installations. There are also others that are considered to be "art" because that is their most common function.
