This centenary exhibition of Ernesto de Sousa’s birth (1921-1988), the multifaceted Portuguese avant-garde artist, poet, critic, curator, and filmmaker, seeks to pay tribute to his kaleidoscopic vision of art through an intergenerational, transhistorical dialogic approach with his work and his archives.
Reflecting questions of hierarchy, authorship, and the complexity of framing, encapsulating, or dividing within the multiple and complementary practices of Ernesto de Sousa – whose motto “Your Body is My Body, My Body is Your Body” serves as a poetic manifesto –, this exhibition presents the different aspects of his oeuvre (visual, poetical and theoretical), and his inventiveness of concepts. The work, the archive and the texts will be addressed through the re-reading, the alliteration, the displacement, the activation and the punctual interventions of contemporary Portuguese and international artists and ‘aesthetic operators‘.
