The Berardo Collection Museum, Centro Colombo and State of the Art are pleased to invite you to the opening of the finalist exhibition of the “Art Arrived at Colombo” award, taking place on April 14, from 3 pm to 7 pm on the Museum’s -1 floor.
The winner of the first edition of the “Art Arrived at Colombo” award has been chosen! Atelier Contencioso convinced the jury and the public with their art installation “Sopro”, receiving an art prize of 20.000 Euros.
In the year that marks its 10th edition, “Art arrived at Colombo” launches an art award with the aim of supporting emerging artists. The winner will receive a monetary prize of 20 thousand euros and will be able to participate in a public exhibition, along with the other finalist works.
Candidates can submit applications for ‘The Art Arrived at Colombo Award’ between the 1st and the 30th of October on the website www.colombo.pt/artecolombo/premio, presenting an original work of art, dedicated to the theme ‘The Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic’.
The aerial art installation Mundus Imaginalis created by the young art collective Error-43 was inaugurated today at Centro Colombo. The work presents itself as a mirror ball that celebrates the end of confinement and consists of a semi-sphere, with a 29m diameter, so light, that it is constantly deformed, a spectrum of shapes and light. Visitors can see their image both reflected and confused both with the environment and with the image of other visitors, creating an illusory effect, like a dream in motion, making it once again possible to celebrate life in community.
The 10th edition of “Art arrived at Colombo” presents itself in an innovative format, adjusted to the reality caused by the pandemic and with a new mission to support emerging artists. In this new context, the traditional exhibition at “Centro Colombo” gave rise to a special program divided into three major moments, which celebrate the past, the present and the future: a Digital Retrospective of all previous editions, an Aerial Art Installation in the dome of the main square and an Art Award to support emerging artists.
