From 29th November to 4th July, the works of the “Technology/Transformation” exhibition will be displayed in different exhibition spaces across the Porto Campus of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, namely in the Arts Building, the Restoration Building, and the Atrium of the Central Building.
This exhibition, curated by Joana Valsassina and Nuno Crespo, integrates the Serralves Collection Touring Exhibition Programme, which aims to make the Foundation’s collection accessible to different audiences across the country, and is organized as part of the integration of Universidade Católica Portuguesa in the Board of Founders of the Serralves Foundation.
The exhibition features works by Ângelo De Sousa, Bruce Nauman, Dara Birnbaum, Joan Jonas, Keith Sonnier, Martha Rosler, Nam June Paik, Nancy Holt, Richard Serra, Sanja Iveković and by Silvestre Pestana.
Technology/Transformation presents a selection of works from the Serralves Collection by artists who gained prominence in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s for their pioneering use of video, new film formats and the first personal computers. The exhibition includes historical works by key figures in the national and international art scene who explored the potential of these media as a way of rethinking the body in space, the limits of representation and language, and the codes and narratives underlying the media industry.
Production: Fundação de Serralves - Museu de Arte Contemporânea, Porto, and School of Arts, Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Porto
