SUMMARY:May I Help You? Posso ajudar?
DESCRIPTION:The everyday question “May I help you?” was used by Andrea Fraser in a performance that addressed the complex institutional relationships within the art world. The same question may also be turned towards the museum itself: what kind of help is actually being offered\, and what kind of connection can still be expected in an era of increasing fragmentation\, dissonance and impermanence? The exhibition draws on five decades of artistic production\, from the 1970s to today\, and features works by ninety artists—including Ad Minoliti (in the museum’s main hall)\, Alberto Carneiro\, Carla Filipe\, Doris Salcedo\, Helena Almeida\, Gabriel Abrantes\, Gilbert & George\, Jeff Koons\, Júlia Ventura\, Kara Walker\, and Richard Serra\, among many others. The works are drawn from collections on long-term loan to the MAC/CCB (the Berardo Collection\, the State Contemporary Art Collection\, and the Teixeira de Freitas Collection)\, and are complemented by new commissions from Portuguese artists. \n  \nCurators Nuria Enguita and Marta Mestre\nCuratorial Adviser Raphael Fonseca (Denver Art Museum) \n  \nThe exhibition “MAY I HELP YOU? POSSO AJUDAR?” Arts and Artists from the 1970s Onwards\, inspired by Andrea Fraser’s performance of the same name\, explores the diversity of representations\, presences\, and narratives within the artistic field\, questioning the idea of a single\, linear direction in art history. Through dialogues between works spanning the last five decades\, the exhibition examines what artists are and do\, and the social roles they imagine for themselves. From the ruptures that redefined art in the 1970s to the accelerated digitalisation of the present\, it highlights a range of heterogeneous formats\, functions\, and intensities. \nNuria Enguita\nCurator of the exhibition and artistic director of MAC/CCB \n  \nArtists: \nGabriel Abrantes\, Helena Almeida\, Giovanni Anselmo\, Robert Barry\, Taysir Batniji\, Lothar Baumgarten\, Bernd & Hilla Becher\, Sara Bichão\, Irma Blank\, Alighiero Boetti\, Christian Boltanski\, Olaf Breuning\, Daniel Buren\, Alberto Carneiro\, Gabriel Chaile\, Adriano Costa\, Jim Dine\, Jimmie Durham\, Carla Filipe\, Fischli & Weiss\, Dan Flavin\, Fernanda Fragateiro\, Andrea Fraser\, Gilbert & George\, Simryn Gill\, Fernanda Gomes\, Félix González-Torres\, Dan Graham\, Hans Haacke\, David Hammons\, Ana Hatherly\, Mona Hatoum\, Kiluanji Kia Henda\, Thomas Hirschhorn\, Jenny Holzer\, Rebecca Horn\, Sanja Iveković\, Ana Jotta\, Donald Judd\, Mike Kelley\, Yazan Khalili\, Jeff Koons\, Joseph Kosuth\, Jannis Kounellis\, Barbara Kruger\, Louise Lawler\, Sol LeWitt\, Glenn Ligon\, João Marçal\, Agnes Martin\, Cildo Meireles\, Mario Merz\, Ad Minoliti\, Matt Mullican\, Bruce Nauman\, Senga Nengudi\, Chris Ofili\, Gabriel Orozco\, Damián Ortega\, Pino Pascali\, Silvestre Pestana\, Raymond Pettibon\, Antonio Pichillá\, Sandra Poulson\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Doris Salcedo\, Alan Saret\, Julião Sarmento\, Allan Sekula\, Richard Serra\, Jim Shaw\, Susana Solano\, Haim Steinbach\, Frank Stella\, Wolfgang Tillmans\, Rosemarie Trockel\, João Pedro Vale + Nuno Alexandre Ferreira\, Júlia Ventura\, Vídeo nas Aldeias\, Kara Walker\, Franz West\, Yonamine\, Bruno Zhu. \n  \n  \n Visit to the exhibition\n \n◾ Cross-cutting\, Tour in English\nAn Atlantic Drift.

SUMMARY:Ti Chitas – The Voice that is a Mountain Orquestra Barroca D’Aquém Mar
DESCRIPTION:Opera + Conversation – Premiere \nThis is an opera about the voice — the voice as memory\, as a boundary between the public and private spheres\, between spaces of intimacy and social connection. It tells the story of Catarina Sargenta\, known as “Ti Chitas” (1913–2003): shepherd\, singer\, and adufe player. Born in Penha Garcia\, in the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova\, her musical artistry and creativity were documented through numerous phonographic and cinematic records. \n  \nIn this performance\, strobe lighting is used. \n

SUMMARY:Getting to know the adufe
DESCRIPTION:The adufe — a traditional square percussion instrument — takes center stage in this workshop. The starting point is the oral tradition of adufe playing and singing from the region of Idanha-a-Nova\, the homeland of Ti Chitas. This workshop aims to provide each participant with the basic tools needed to become familiar with the adufe.

SUMMARY:The Truth About Lies
DESCRIPTION:Not wanting to be deceived by lies and seeking the truth is the condition in which every human being finds themselves. There is a constant pressure — 24 hours a day\, seven days a week — to escape falsehood and grasp the truth. Typically\, we believe we are on the side of truth and that we speak truthfully. Yet do we not succumb to lies? The contemporary context brings the question of falsehood into focus with almost pandemic intensity. The spread of disinformation — through deepfakes\, algorithms and bots — has become a need that companies such as Cambridge Analytica\, as well as certain states\, have stepped in to fulfil. Disinformation can sway elections and undermine trust in democracy.  This journey of ours explores the intricate relationship between truth\, falsehood and our perception of reality. It examines classical and contemporary philosophical concepts in the complex contexts of both personal and collective life. The effort to understand the effectiveness of lies and the deactivation of truth is not new. It is as ancient as the very emergence of humanity. To overcome the state of denial in which we often find ourselves — especially concerning illusions and self-deceptions — is a necessary condition for the discovery of truth. At times\, we are deceived by lies\, and at other times\, even by truth itself. Yet are we not also responsible for spreading them? And is it not often another who tells us the truths we fail to see in ourselves

SUMMARY:A Full Being Here
DESCRIPTION:«If I can’t dance in your revolution\, I’m not coming.»\nEmma Goldman \n  \nA Full Being Here (Um Estar Aqui Cheio) is a 2001 piece that was performed in only three venues. Twenty-five years after its premiere\, it is presented for the first time in Lisbon\, at the Centro Cultural de Belém\, with virtually the entire original cast\, joined by a new performer. \nThe work is part of a singular artistic journey in which dance intersects with philosophy\, poetry\, music\, and performance. Vera Mantero proposes a sensory and reflective experience that defies categories: it is dance\, installation\, spoken word\, lucid delirium. The piece unfolds from a raw\, instinctive presence where body and word become matter for thought and emotion. \n  \nPost-performance conversation with the artists and Vera Santos.
