Galeria Nuno Centeno would like to remind the exhibitions by represented artists Mauro Cerqueira and Silvestre Pestana being currently on view at the Galeria Municipal do Porto.
On the ground floor, Mauro Cerqueira joins a collective show titled Comissões #1 along Joana Escoval, Sara Graça, Catarina Miranda and Mariya Nesvyetaylo. Curated by João Laia and João Terras, this show is dedicated to support the local art scene. In this particular show, Mauro returns to his drawing practice, revealing a series of unpublished works that establish a direct link to his latest cinematic project.
Simultaneously, Galeria Municipal do Porto also hosts Colapso, a solo exhibition by Silvestre Pestana also curated by João Laia. Pestana delves once again into technological experimentation and visual poetry while making use of a dense installation of LED panels and light signals.
The work is presented as a “force field” where language fragments and traditional discourses lose their stability – a critical warning about information saturation and the limits of progress. Silvestre uses figures such as pawns in perpetual motion to symbolise contemporary society’s inability to pause.
Comissões #1 will remain open to the public until June 14th, 2026. Meanwhile, Silvestre Pestana’s solo exhibition Colapsoremains on display on the upper floor until June 28th, 2026.
