SUMMARY:Exercício de Montagem
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: Strobe lights are used in this performance. \n  \nExercício de Montagem is a film in progress that is a performance that is a film that is a performance: an attempt to make sense of something that has been seen and cannot be unseen in that place called Palestine. A performance that rehearses the editing of a film imagined during a trip to Palestine in 2023. \nHow do Palestinians live in the West Bank? And in East Jerusalem? And in ’48? What is their daily life like? Where are they able to move\, and where are they forbidden to go? What is a checkpoint\, and how does it shape these people’s everyday lives? Why did M.\, in a café in East Jerusalem\, ask us to open our eyes because “everything is political”? \nNarrated in two voices — one of them that of the Palestinian artist Tarab طرب — this is just one of the possible editing exercises of a complex and traumatic story\, drawn from the daily lives of women and men of a country that is not recognized as a country. The material comes from three trips to Palestine (between 2023 and 2026) and from the records that resulted from them — images\, sounds\, diaries\, notebooks\, memorabilia — as well as from the profound impact and transformation these journeys had on those who experienced them. \n

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:From the Museum to the Garden: Queer Reading Circle
DESCRIPTION:Taking Paul B. Preciado’s Countersexual Manifesto as its starting point\, this reading circle proposes an experience of reading and encounter across different spaces and ways of thinking about the body\, gender\, and sexuality. Throughout the programme\, the museum and the garden are activated as sites of critical and sensory experimentation where theory meets lived experience and collective dialogue.\nThe first session takes place at MAC/CCB on 21 June at 11:00 am. Drawing on a selection of works on display\, it opens up a conversation between the book and the exhibition space\, exploring ways of reimagining the norms that shape gender and sexuality.\nThe second session takes place at Jardim das Conchas on 23 June from 6:30 pm\, in a picnic setting centred on sharing and exchange. Building on the reflections initiated in the museum\, it creates time and space for collective thinking\, conversation\, and attentive listening.\nRegistration is required. Participants will receive detailed information about the activity upon registration. Reading the manifesto beforehand is recommended\, but no prior knowledge of the subject is necessary. \nThis reading circle was conceived and is led by Maribel Mendes Sobreira and Carolina Flores. Philosophers\, essayists\, and friends\, they share a practice of thinking grounded in the dialogue between philosophy\, visual culture\, and feminisms\, and a love of discussing books and ideas. \nMaribel Mendes Sobreira writes on a range of subjects at the intersection of philosophy\, aesthetics\, and visual culture. She regularly participates in conversations and debates nationally and internationally\, collaborates with museums and contemporary art institutions—including MAAT\, MAC/CCB\, and Gulbenkian—and is an Associate Researcher with Praxis at CFUL. \nCarolina Flores returned to Portugal after more than a decade studying and working at universities in the United Kingdom and the United States. She is now Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Lisbon and a researcher with the LanCog group at CFUL\, where she teaches and conducts research on ignorance and belief. Her writing has appeared in publications including Jacobin\, Autostraddle\, El Salto\, Público\, and Shifter.pt. \n  \nFree participation upon prior registration \n☎️ Bookings and information: +351 213 612 800 (national landline call rate)\, Monday to Friday\, 10:00 am–1:00 pm and 2:00pm–5:30pm.\n💻 Bookings by e-mail: servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n
