The curatorial program SINS AND CAPITALS, or a certain mist for empty spaces , is made up of different exhibitions in international spaces, Dinamo (Porto), Frise (Hamburg), Salon (Madrid), P////AKT (Amsterdam), Polo del ‘900 (Turin), Le 18 (Marrakesh) et Le Cube – independent art room (Rabat), a site specific exhibition and film screenings in a national space and an editorial project. It is curated by Eduarda Neves, Professor of Contemporary Art, Art Theory and Critical Studies and an independent curator.
Based on the work of Caspar David Friedrich Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer and the premise that space is freedom, critical approaches are called for between the space we inhabit and the exhibition space. Considering the multiplicity of meanings that we can find in the concepts of “space”, “mist” and “capital”, the project enunciates some philosophical, ethical and political implications that articulate ecology, economy and artistic practice.
In this project, physical space is assumed as a determining and operative conceptual tool for the visual and sonic materialization of the works.
The in situ proposals, therefore different in each of the six international exhibition spaces, affirm the work and the space as elements that construct each other.
The exhibition at Le Cube will showcase the artistic works of Alexandra Costa, Carla Castiajo, Celeste Cerqueira, Manuel Santos Maia, Náhir Capêlo, Nuno Ramalho, Sérgio Leitão and Thiago Rocha Pitta offering a diverse range of expressions for the audience to experience.
