OPENING!

We are delighted to invite you to the opening of “Unless the Water is safer than the Land” by Paulo Arraiano at FORUM ARTE BRAGA

Saturday | 16 Sep | 6:30pm

Exhibition integrated in the program of “Encontros de Imagem 23 “

▫️

You have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land [. . .]
no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear saying: leave,
run away from me now
i dont know what i’ve become
but i know that anywhere
is safer than here
— excerpts from Warsan Shire, ‘Home’

What’s the difference between a test tube and a post-apocalyptic landscape? Between an aquarium and the primitive ocean? Time and the presence of people. The idea of someone watching. Controlling.

In one of these alternatives that presence does not exist. What always exists is the development – natural or not – of an autonomous microcosm, of an ecosystem far from the trace of human danger. Before or after the catastrophe – it may not matter – but close to what we have come to call the natural environment, aka Nature. A concept we have always struggle to relate without falling into the dichotomy between pure pre- Adamic innocence versus capitalistic utilitarianism.
It’s difficult not to think of Stalker (1979), Andrey Tarkovsky’s masterpiece, when discovering Paulo Arraiano’s Biophilia. This isn’t only because of the wonderful dreamlike and disturbing aesthetics of the works – raising critical questions of the anthropocene, climate change and environmental catastrophes – but also because they seem to investigate closely related problems of the horizon of the future – all the science fiction aesthetics that we see in them, the interior self and even a certain personal spirituality intimately connected with the environment. (…).

“Corpo, Dentro” de Elisa Azevedo

14 Setembro | 18:00 às 22:00

A UMA LULIK__ tem o prazer de convidar para a primeira exposição da artista Elisa Azevedo, na galeria !

▫️

(...) Guiada por uma ideia poética de fluência e entrosamento, Elisa Azevedo apresenta um conjunto de imagens que abordam corpos que comunicam entre si. Corpos que nos remetem para a fisicalidade dos seres, dos elementos naturais e dos objectos, falando do que antecipa um encontro, do que marca uma presença, e do que resta da sua passagem. Assim, focando o olhar nas entidades e nas relações que entre elas se estabelecem, a artista atenta ao modo como as coisas se conectam e à forma como estas reverberam num campo de limites e sobreposições. (...)

Elisa Azevedo (n. 1996, Porto, Portugal), vive e trabalha entre Lisboa e Lausanne.

Licenciada em Arte Multimédia — Fotografia, pela Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa & Pós-Graduação em Discursos Fotográficos Contemporâneos pela mesma instituição, encontra-se de momento a frequentar o Mestrado em Fotografia na ÉCAL, em Lausanne.

O seu trabalho vive de uma abordagem sensível à realidade, sem uma vinculação imediata ao tempo, espaço ou sujeito que habita.Na sua fotografia articula temas como a transitividade, identidade, género, sexualidade, ausência e o corpo.

Expõe, coletivamente e a solo desde 2017, destacando-se “Body to Body” (Arquivo Municipal Fotográfico de Lisboa, 2017), “Em plena luz” (Bienal de Fotografia do Porto/Fotofestiwal Polónia, 2021), “Rivva” (Bienal de Fotografia de Vila Franca de Xira, 2021), “Erro 417: Expectativa Falhada” (Galeria Municipal do Porto, 2022) e “Just Believe” (UMA LULIK__, 2022).

Happy to announce
Fábio Colaço and Catarina Mil-Homens participation at the Main Exhibition of Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023, curated by Qiu Zhijie, under the theme “The Statistics of Fortune”.
“Since ancient times, ‘scientific’ research has been inextricably linked to religious activities, and the history of science has been entangled with various mystical elements. Religious activities are often presented as empirical evidence, and the role of the mind is emphasised as a key factor involved in statistics. We are interested in works of art that explore spiritual traditions from fresh perspectives, as well as those that consider the history of science and technology from profound humanistic perspectives. (…) The main exhibition presents artists from Japan, Indonesia, India, Canada, France, Cambodia, the United States, Thailand, Philippines, Italy, Singapore, Portugal, Mexico, South Korea, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, displaying more than 90 contemporary artworks.”
