Still on going, Maria Imaginário had her latest solo show bloom at Galeria Dama Aflita in Porto. Turning this exhibition subject around vegetables, the humor present on the pieces through old sayings and subtle puns attached to the illustrations are doing it just right. Jump inside for the virtual tour.
MaisMenos has hit the streets once again with another clever play on words. Image and video can be seen inside.
Taking back the Random editions after nearly 2 months of absence, Miss K is back on track with the first Random Porto edition of the year. Enjoy the randomness, and don’t forget to visit Miss K new photos over at her blog.
We’ve announced the show last week, and now the pics are in. “Memória & Destruição” was a collective show with many artists on its line up, working on different mediums. Among the artists, were RUA collective which I’ve been following close lately. You can check the gallery pics and video inside.
One of the latest walls by Mr. Dheo to hit the streets.
Just got word of what seems to be a good show up north, in Porto. “Memória & Destruição” (Memory & Destruction) is the name of a collective show to present different artistic areas, by intervening in a local historic house from the XVIII century, making the contrast between historical and contemporary. Check a teaser video inside, and the full list of artists.
Oh the irony. Just before the year end, I showed you this piece of a tile showing up in Porto, which was completely destroyed and removed by the city council, apparently by being too offensive I suppose. Then, the artist moved on to part II, which was already intended for something else, but in this context suited better than before in this location. Brought to you thanks to the sharp eye in Porto of Miss K, the ”No tiles allowed” tile. Let’s see if they have reason to remove this one now.
Apparently, one day was how much it lasted on the streets, but this tile will definitely last on the internet. José Sócrates, who I’ve dedicated a poster some time later last year (see here) was given a false square name to the Mompilher square in Porto. Reads “Eng José Sócrates (Liar, corrupt, incompetent, Prime-minister of Portugal 2005-2011)”. Artist unknown.
