On October 2nd, the Cascais Cultural Centre opens the exhibition "A Deslocação do Olhar", organised by the D. Luís I Foundation with support from the municipality. The show offers a unique selection from the Américo Marques Contemporary Art Collection, featuring around thirty works by more than 20 Portuguese artists or those closely connected to Portugal.
Artists on display include Julião Sarmento, Lourdes Castro, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, João Louro, Susana Mendes Silva, Pedro Calapez, Michael Biberstein, Ângelo de Sousa and Fernando Calhau.
Curated by Sérgio Fazenda Rodrigues, the project highlights painting and video sections to prompt reflection on the act of looking and its relationship with the image. Organised into three modules – Body/Object, Image Protocols and Landscape – the exhibition invites visitors to explore different perspectives, from figuration to configuration, questioning the observer’s role and the way perception is constructed.
The exhibition runs until January 18 and is part of the Bairro dos Museus programme.
