The renowned artist “Killa Was Here” from Porto presents his most recent exhibition “The Life of Killaz”, on the 11th of July at CUPRA City Garage in Lisbon, where the public is challenged to appreciate, in a relaxed way, the weight that life places on each person’s shoulders, through the teddy bear Killaz.
The exhibition “Journey” by Maria Pratas has already opened at CUPRA City Garage Lisboa. According to the artist, “On a journey, when we look ahead, what we see is memory.” Using the knowledge of ancient artisans, the artist develops a fusion between various raw materials, especially textiles, wood and natural fibers, creating unique objects with history. Organized as part of @lisbondesignweek, the exhibition can be visited until the beginning of July!
The sculpture “l’Il Be Your Mirror #1, 2018”, by artist Joana Vasconcelos, was inaugurated today at Praça do Comércio, in front of Mesa na Praça, in Braga. Joana Vasconcelos uses pieces of mirrors – with richly decorated frames, designed by the artist -, overlapping like scales, to construct a monumental and surprising Venetian mask.
From February 29th, CUPRA City Garage will host, exclusively, the exhibition WATCH YOUR SELF by the renowned Portuguese Neo-Pop artist Rueffa, who returns to the space two years after her first exhibition. Rueffa will reveal to us a limited and exclusive series of her Selfie Dollar collection. Each work is made in crystal resin and each mirror appears, metaphorically, as a reflection and self-questioning of the relevance of each individual in the world.
Paulo Reis and his project UniOuriços invites participants of this workshop to create their very own sea urchins made out of wood! January 18th at Cupra City Garage in Lisbon!
Today, we opened the exhibition “Lugares” (Places) by artist Maria Pratas at Vila do Conde Porto Fashion Outlet. According to the artist, “Going to the origin of objects is taking the opposite path of learning: you don’t teach how to do it, you learn from “how it was done” to take an even further leap. Through different materials and techniques such as interlacing, weaving or winding vegetable fibers she creates unique pieces. On show until December 20th.
Today we opened the exhibiton (É)PICO by Paulo Reis and his brand UniOuriços. Who ever came across sea urchins, know they sting. It was after such a sting that Paulo Reis came up with the idea of his wooden sea urchins, seeing them as a symbol of the world; an object that contains the essence of life but which is also an inclusive project, which allows the development of social skills and, most importantly, self-esteem. A project where the sustainability and inclusion go hand in hand. On show until January 25, at Cupra City Garage Lisbon.
Don’t miss out our Creativity Talk on the 19th of October about the exhibition of TVBOY at Cupra City Garage in Lisbon, featuring artists Rueffa and Filippo Fiumani and moderated by Sandra Nobre.
