Contemporary Art < Back MIGUEL PALMA Lisbon, 1964 Born in Lisbon, 1964. Lives and works in Lisbon and exhibits regularly since the late 80s. With a strong appeal to sculpture, the artistic background of Miguel Palma followed the direction of multimedia installations, using non-traditional methods of production and working regularly within a team of carpenters, mechanics, engineers and biologists, oriented towards an hybrid area and linked with the industrial production of the 20th century. Palma's work often addresses how technology has influenced the life of modern man, its relationship with the environment, the idea of human comfort or even the idea of power. In parallel to the construction of large and medium scale installations, the artist often resorts to drawing and the construction of miniatures of his projects. In addition, the artist also produces video, artist books and performances. Of special note among his solo shows are: Desconforto Moderno, curated by Miguel Von Hafe Perez at CGAC, Spain (2013); Trajectory, curated by Greg Esser at ASU Art Museum, USA (2012); Assembly Line, curated by Isabel Carlos at CAM – Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon (2011); Miguel Palma: COMMA 01, curated by Graham Gussin and Sacha Craddock at Bloomberg Space, London, U.K. (2009); Miguel Palma / O Mundo às Avessas, curated by Miguel Wandschneider at Culturgest, Lisbon (2007); Miguel Palma, at Serralves Contemporary Art Museum, Oporto (2000); Traject, at Centre de Création Contemporaine, France (1997).

Exhibitions Archive < Back PLAY IS A SERIOUS MATTER Eduarda Rosa, Pollyanna Freire, Rita Thomaz OPENING 21 de fev. de 2019 CLOSING 30 de mar. de 209 [...] A collector has the power to draw a magic circle around each object that he recognizes as being from his collection, building himself outside himself and making himself represented by pieces that have no meaning except in that one order, arbitrary for any of us, but strict for itself. A new piece in the set is the missing piece that came to your collector at the right time, becoming part of an always incomplete treasure. The collector has the ability to renew, making each object reborn and updating itself as he updates his collection. This strange and almost mystical reasoning may seem like a child's play, but collectors and children play seriously, bringing to life “dead objects”. These serious games open up possibilities of thinking, since these objects were not created to perform the functions that will be designated by the collector. It is in an alternative, private, rigid and oriented world, where dead objects are transformed into objects rescued and free of their original functions, that the most serious matters are treated and worked on. Eduarda Rosa, Pollyanna Freire and Rita Thomaz are united by this serious, consistent and rigorous approach. Each object collected, constructed, painted or pressed is implicitly a need, or at least will, to build an alternative world that is always a work to come, a work in progress like a collection. [...] It is not only through the collection that aimless objects are brought to life; it is also through all the modes of acquisition and construction of a certain thing - from touching the object to naming it, from painting it to removing a part, pressing it or pasting it elsewhere, in a close relationship between art it's life. With varying degrees of fun and awareness, each artist becomes the author of his grand project where to play is a serious matter. Laura Sequeira Falé Brochure (pt download) Previous Next
