Lúcido Devaneio at Galeria Municipal do Porto
The exhibition Lúcido Devaneio features artworks from two artists represented by Galeria Nuno Centeno: André Sousa with Apex, 2025 and Silvestre Pestana with Rare Earths – Expanded Poem, 2019. Curated by Hiuwai Chu e Raphael Fonseca, this group exhibition aims at creating a dialogue between international curators with the contemporary artistic production in Portugal.
After many discussions and learning much about each other, we invited twenty artists who dialogue in overlapping ways, addressing notions of the body in its relation to history, memory, and our surroundings. Curiously, our gaze always matched our mutual interests towards artists’ practices that are not circumscribed, which open perspectives, and provoke questions and doubts, and that play in different ways with a certain sense of metamorphosis and fiction. This exhibition brings together artists that don’t necessarily avoid the idea of the document and the appeal of the “real” in a more sociological way but it undoubtedly embraces creators who seem to be constantly inventing new worlds full of mystery and ambivalence. - Hiuwai Chu & Raphael Fonseca
The exhibition will open at Galeria Municipal do Porto on July 12th, 2025, and will be running until October 12th. The gallery is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 10am to 6pm. The last guided tour happens Saturday, October 4th at 3pm.
