Memórias | Instalação – Luís Afonso

Memories | Installation

Memories defines itself as a work that integrates the exhibition space as a aesthetic component. The arrangement idea set on a three-dimensional construction of visual, hearing and sensitive memories of old wool manufacturing spaces, starting from a collection of several elements withdrawn from their context. Thus, scenic fragments of a wool manufacture environment have been recreated. The arrangement was produced with the plastic conception of Luis Afonso and the production and scenic conception by Quarta Parede.

Opening times: 30th April to 26th June 2005, from Monday to Friday, from 9.30 to 12.30 and from 14.00 to 17.30 .

Olhares | João Bugalho

Glances

Painting exhibition composed by 23 oil and acrylic paintings. The presented work exhibits some of the most conspicuous landscapes and figures of the artist’s life. The most significant spaces of Alentejo, that is always present, are shown through his work. It makes reference to a life course and it is captured by “Glances”. João Bugalho, through his formation and professional experience, learnt to enjoy and to qualify the territory and, due to his artistic sensitivity, to transform it, putting in his paintings a particular inner harmony with which he confines all the force of nature, relying on a palette of colours that have a huge plasticity.

Opening times: 30th April to 31st May 2006, from Monday to Friday, from 9.30 to 12.30 and from 14.00 to 17.30.
