SUMMARY:Constitution - Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Theatre  \nWhat are we made of? As human beings and as a society? How does the way we organize ourselves collectively inspire and disrupt our personal relationships? And how is a country constituted?\nMoving between the personal and the political\, this performance departs from the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic\, in force since 1976. Taking the form of an assembly\, the work invites the audience to undertake a journey through different chapters of the constitutional text\, encouraging an engagement with the poetic dimension of its words. \n  \nProject created within the framework of the partnership between Centro Cultural de Belém/Fábrica das Artes and the Assembleia da República. \n  \nPhoto ©Assembleia da República\nIllustration from Mantraste\, Voltas e Reviravoltas (2nd volume of the Mission: Democracy Collection)

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◾ Sunday\, May 31\, at 11:00am | With Portuguese Sign Language interpretation\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n  \n◾ Cross-cutting\, Tour in English\nAn Atlantic Drift. The Arts of the 20th Century Based on the Berardo Collection + May I Help You? Posso Ajudar? Arts and Artists from the 1970s Onwards\nSunday\, may 31 and june 13\, at 3:00pm\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \, and purchase of a museum entry ticket.

SUMMARY:Multiple Eyes
DESCRIPTION:In an era when screens shape our perception of reality and algorithms dictate our preferences\, the works of these artists—fusing the sensory\, the symbolic\, the ancestral\, and the spiritual with the popular\, the carnivalesque\, the magical\, and the abject—propose an alternative: storytelling as an intimate\, porous\, and polyphonic practice. Multiple Eyes brings together three artists from different generations who understand narrative practice as a collaborative and political space. The exhibition invites audiences to view otherness not as threat but as an opportunity for learning\, reflection\, and co-creating knowledge. Challenging singular and binary narratives\, and reclaiming storytelling from systems of control\, these works demonstrate how art can open spaces for dialogue\, empathy\, and the recognition of diverse ways of knowing and imagining the present. \n  \nCurators Nuria Enguita\, Rafael Barber Cortell \n  \nGuided tours \n◾ Sunday\, May 24 and July 5\, at 11:00am\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n

SUMMARY:José Pedro Croft
DESCRIPTION:Prints\, drawings\, and reliefs interact with a group of sculptures that occupy the longitudinal axis of the exhibition space. These are the reflections\, enclaves\, and deviations of José Pedro Croft\, one of Portugal’s most acclaimed artists\, presented on Floor 0 of MAC/CCB. The selection for this solo exhibition reflects the artist’s ongoing exploration of body\, scale\, space\, and architecture\, as well as the subtle thresholds between plane and three-dimensionality. The show unfolds along two interlinked lines: on the one hand\, the dialogue between graphic processes\, constructive tradition\, and architectural elements; on the other\, a sculptural rigour that invites the viewer into a slow\, perceptive experience that resists the acceleration of our times. \n  \nCurator Luiz Camillo Osorio \n  \nVisit to the exhibition \n  \n◾ Sunday\, 17 May at 4:00pm\nJosé Pedro Croft guides us through the Reflections\, Enclaves\, Deviations of his work\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n  \n◾ Sunday\, 17 May and 28 June\, at 11:00am\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt

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: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:Éclipse — National Premiere
DESCRIPTION:FIMFA Lx26 – Festival Internacional de Marionetas e Formas Animadas \n  \nA singular object circus\, with humor and a touch of magic\, punctuated by light and darkness. A suspended lamp\, a switch cord\, a glass of water\, a white ball\, a candle and matches. We hear an old tango from a speaker and a meticulous character wait in the dim light. On stage\, each object seems to be in its proper place. \nÉclipse explores the relationships between object manipulation\, juggling\, new magic and… water! Léo Rousselet takes us into a poetic and humorous universe\, with hints of Charlie Chaplin. He presents us with an obsessive character\, committed to doing everything right\, and ready to face all situations\, even the most unexpected.
