SUMMARY:Valentina and Valeria Are Not Dead
DESCRIPTION:Esmeralda’s rehearsal is suddenly interrupted by two figures — Valentina and Valeria. But who are they\, exactly? They seem to exist in a kind of desert space\, somewhere between the Internet and the Beyond. Have they emerged from the actress’s memory lapses? Are they a product of her imagination? \nValentina and Valeria Are Not Dead is a play about the intersections between memory and imagination\, fiction and non-fiction\, theatre and life\, death and mourning. A multi-voiced monologue that plays with the process of theatre itself\, revealing one\, two\, three women. \n  \nOn Sunday\, March 22\, a post-show talk will take place with Flávia Gusmão and Jacinto Lucas Pires. \n  \nIn this performance\, strobe lighting is used.

SUMMARY:An Atlantic Drift
DESCRIPTION:An Atlantic Drift charts and unravels paths through the arts of the 20th century\, specifically the period from 1909 to 1977\, seeking to disrupt preconceived notions and established canons by bringing together references and artistic forms that are usually kept apart. The exhibition follows an erratic chronology\, marked by digressions and temporal leaps\, thereby revealing connections and confrontations between the European and American shores to suggest potential relationships and drifts often overlooked or absent from art history. \nThe Atlantic\, particularly from the mid-20th century onward\, becomes a crucial space for transits and exiles\, fostering new geopolitical affinities that have shaped modern subjectivities with repercussions that persist to this day. As a reinstallation of the permanent collection\, An Atlantic Drift presents a selection of Portuguese and international artists spanning painting\, sculpture\, drawing\, installation\, and graphic arts\, mapping out art as part of world history and portraying modernity as a multifaceted eruption of social\, artistic\, and technological transformations. \nFrom Pablo Picasso to Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso\, Lourdes Castro to Marcel Duchamp\, Andy Warhol to Wifredo Lam\, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva to Joaquín Torres-García\, Jackson Pollock to Malangatana\, and Lucio Fontana to Ana Hatherly—a total of around 160 artists—the exhibition unfolds in chapters that reveal the complexities of historical and artistic developments in the 20th century. This period\, marked by two World Wars in Europe and their aftermath\, as well as the revolutionary and decolonisation processes of the 1970s\, is also seen as a time of transformation that invites rethinking through new narratives. \nAs a permanently evolving permanent exhibition\, An Atlantic Drift offers a unique presentation of the collections on loan to MAC/CCB—mainly the Berardo Collection\, but also the Holma/Ellipse Collection\, the Teixeira de Freitas Collection\, and the Portuguese State Contemporary Art Collection. Nonetheless\, it also incorporates loans from collections in Portugal\, allowing for reimagining the place of Portuguese art within 20th-century artistic developments. \n  \nCurated by Nuria Enguita (Artistic Director at MAC/CCB) and Marta Mestre (curator at MAC/CCB)\nScientific advisor: Mariana Pinto dos Santos \n  \nGuided exhibition tours \n \n◾ Cross-cutting\, Tour in English\nAn Atlantic Drift.

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:Open Museum
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \n  \nProgramme \nMarch 27 \n6:00 pm Performance Alarve\, João dos Santos Martins \n\nMarch 28 \n2:30 pm Opening of the Playroom: Atelier – A Space to Imagine\, Play\, and Create\n3:00 pm Launch of the catalogue Avenida 211: An Artists’ Space in Lisbon\n4:00 pm Concerts programmed by Filho Único\n \nVasco Alves e as Rochas da Ajuda\nSa🎀ra\nAmuleto Apotropaico\nSheila RamirezVaiapraia\nInês Tartaruga Água\n6:00 pm Performance Alarve\, João dos Santos Martins\n7:00 pm Toast

SUMMARY:Alarve
DESCRIPTION:João dos Santos Martins’s work explores relationships between dance\, language\, and transmission. For this performance\, presented within the exhibition Place of Being: The Burle Marx Legacy\, the dancer and choreographer takes the body as a field of negotiation between nature and construction. The work enters into dialogue with his personal experience of migrating from a rural to an urban environment\, and with the idea of adaptation—of both body and subject. Just as the Brazilian landscape designer understood the garden as an “adaptation of the ecological environment to the demands of civilisation\,” migration reveals an ongoing process of adjusting gestures. \nDance is approached as a practice of unlearning and reinvention: an exercise in recognising the social and bodily layers that accumulate in the attempt to adapt habits seen as strange\, rough\, or wild. Rather than representing an identity\, the work presents a field of friction between nature\, rurality and culture. The body becomes matter in process\, where inside and outside enter into dialogue and propose forms of listening. \n  \nBy and featuring João dos Santos Martins\nCostume Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust\nLadainha Franz Schubert\nProduction Maria Monteiro | Associação Parasita\, Association Mi-Maï\nCo-production Associação Parasita\, MAC/CCB – Museum of Contemporary Art and Architecture Centre\, Festival Silvestre\, Sismógrafo\nResidencies Espaço Parasita\, Lamia Santolino \n  \nOpen Museum programme.
