Open Museum

MAC/CCB presents a festive programme of performance, books, music, and conviviality. Conceived as a kind of finissage for the exhibitions Avenida 211: An Artists’ Space in Lisbon and Place of Being: The Burle Marx Legacy, these proposals invite visitors to explore their artistic universes. Now that spring is beginning to show and a change of cycle can be felt, “Open Museum” renews the encounter with the public.

The festivities begin on Friday with the premiere of a new creation by choreographer João dos Santos Martins, entitled Alarve, in dialogue with one of Brazil’s most important landscape architects, Roberto Burle Marx. On Saturday, the catalogue of Avenida 211 will be launched, offering an opportunity to learn about the history of this iconic cultural space in Lisbon through the perspectives of curatorship, essay, and design. This will be followed by a music programme devised by Filho Único, returning to its days at Avenida 211 with six mini-concerts of half an hour each, taking place inside the exhibition. In the late afternoon, João dos Santos Martins’s Alarve will be performed again. To close the day, everyone is invited to raise a glass with some drinks and light refreshments.
