At Arco Lisboa 2024, Portas Vilaseca presents a special project featuring a dialogue between the work of Brazilian artists Ana Hupe and Pedro Victor Brandão. Both artists belong to separate research universes but complement each other in their critique of accumulation, environmental destruction, and the Anthropocene.
In their practices, Hupe and Brandão engage in collecting found objects (object trouvé). Each one elaborates on their encounters with symbols, signs, and obsolete everyday items in their unique way, acting as mediators who encourage the found objects to speak.
The idea of this project is to rethink the interactions between art, technology and ecology, challenging the public to consider new forms of existence and resistance in a world undergoing rapid transformation and in a persistent state of crisis.
The gallery takes part in the ‘Opening’ section, curated by Chus Martinez and Luiza Teixeira de Freitas.
