Agnieszka Polska
The New Sun
“The New Sun” brings the Polish artist Agnieszka Polska to Portugal for the first time. A projection of the sun personified as a cartoon character that speaks directly to the audience about scientific theory, poetry, natural disasters, trivial jokes and love songs. Here, the sun is everything you see before the final collapse of your system, your planet, your sunset - the last witness to your extinction, softly driving you towards the black hole of a last meditation.
Anne Imhof
Untitled (Wave)
“Untitled (Wave)” creates resonance between questions around ideas of the feminine, worship and immateriality. It refers also to the history of art and aesthetic discourse, particularly to the concept of the sublime associated with the romantic period of contemplation of nature, of bleak and desolate landscapes conveying the smallness of the scale of the individual before the grandeur of the universe.
Anastasia Sosunova
When All This Is Over, Let’s Meet Up! + Agents
Through a process of distortion and the interlacing of elements from old mythologies, hybrid identities and a society of surveillance, Sosunova produces alternative forms of “contemporary folklore”, exploring new narratives and ways of life that require rules, ethics, codes and agreements between living beings.
