QUADRUM 50 anos, uma fogueira cultural
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Galeria Quadrum, on September 16, the Municipal Galleries will inaugurate the exhibition Quadrum at 50, a cultural bonfire, based on a curatorial project by Paulo Mendes.
The year 2023 marks half a century of the gallery’s historical journey, unique in its vision and experimentalism in the Portuguese artistic context. Throughout its many decades of operation, Galeria Quadrum has played host to a myriad of seminal artists who have left their mark in the art world. This exhibition includes historical works by António Olaio, António Poppe, Ernesto de Sousa, Alberto Carneiro, João Vieira, Jorge Molder, Julião Sarmento, Miguel Palma, Cristina Mateus, Paulo Mendes, Fernando Brito, Alexandra do Carmo, Ana Hatherly, Miguel Leal, Salette Tavares, E. M. de Melo e Castro, as well as paper and video documentation from the Gallery’s documentary collection and other archives.
The opening of this exhibition – with performances by António Olaio and António Poppe based on texts from Quadrum’s exhibition archive – was conceived by the project’s curator to be an inclusive and all-encompassing celebration not only for the artistic community of artists, curators, representatives of institutions, galleries, collectors, and the press, but also for the general public.
Everyday: 10 am - 1 pm and 2 pm - 6 pm
