A closely-argued collection of articles by five respected Portuguese professors on various aspects of the long relationship between Portugal and its former colonies in Asia, TRACES ON THE SEA presents material on history, linguistics, architecture, and ethnomusicology focusing on Goa and elsewhere in Asia touched by Portuguese culture over the centuries. The book provides a background to the academic study of Goa and also as a site stimulating ideas for future research.
The book produced to accompany the presence of João Louro (*1963 in Lisbon) as the official representative of Portugal at the 56th Venice Biennale with the exhibition I Will Be Your Mirror--Poems and Problems is presented as the state of the art of Louro's oeuvre, which, since the nineties, has developed a well-informed questioning of the meaning of the image as an object or sign and of language as a symbolic representation. Louro is an intensely conceptual artist, one whose intensity is demonstrated in his presentation and interpretation of the world. He is interested in generating new semantic aspects and raising doubts about norms accepted by our visual culture.The texts by María de Corral, Paulo Herkenhoff, Delfim Sardo, and Nuno Crespo, authors who have a deep knowledge of João Louro's work, are accompanied by images that show us the overall body of João Louro's production, including some works produced specifically for this exhibition.
ONCE IN A LIFETIME [REPEAT] documents the homonymous exhibition hosted at Culturgest, Lisbon, between February and May 2019, which focused on the past twenty years of João Onofre?s work and Untitled (zoetrope), a new work specifically designed for the occasion. The artist is mostly known for his video artworks, but he has approached numerous mediums, from drawing to sculpture, photography, performance, and sound, and the catalogue amply evidences his multidisciplinary practice. It illustrates the vitality of a production that activates a certain romantic irony, and is characterized as well by the great themes of art history: tension, death, failure, love, and, as a bond that unites everything, language.00Exhibition: Culturgest, Lisbon, Portugal (16.02-19.5.2019).
