Cycle of conversations ‘FLAD Collection: The Dialogues’
FLAD launches the cycle of conversations ‘FLAD Collection: The Dialogues’, an initiative that aims to make known the career of artists present in FLAD’s contemporary art collection. The first session takes place on September 24, starting at 6:30 pm, in the FLAD auditorium, in Lisbon, and brings together, in a conversation moderated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez, curator of FLAD, the artist Rui Sanches and curator Sara Antónia Matos.
This cycle of conversations proposes a reflection on the Foundation’s artistic heritage, based on works that are part of FLAD’s contemporary art collection. The invited artists will be challenged to reflect on the importance of the works in the context in which they were created and on the meaning of their work and its relevance in the Portuguese art scene. The conversations will be moderated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez, curator of the FLAD collection, and will feature the participation of critics, historians, curators or other personalities close to the artists, contributing to broaden the interpretation of the works and create new ways of understanding them.
“It is, in essence, about creating an oral memory that is so lacking in the panorama of contemporary Portuguese art. The relevance of a collection that is not physically available at all times is also underlined, thus becoming more alive and active”, says Miguel von Hafe Pérez.
The first edition of this cycle will feature the participation of Rui Sanches, a leading name in Portuguese sculpture and who, in addition, also played a significant role in the construction of FLAD’s collection as an advisor, and Sara Antónia Matos, curator, essayist and director of the Júlio Pomar Atelier-Museum and EGEAC’s Municipal Galleries. This conversation will take place on September 24, at 6:30 pm, in the FLAD auditorium, in Lisbon.
With this new initiative, FLAD continues its commitment to valuing Portuguese contemporary art, creating a meeting space between artists, specialists and the public, where the works in the collection serve as a starting point for conversations that help to better understand the recent history of art in Portugal.
