Margins/Images by Maria Pimentel
Until 16 Feb

Inauguration: January 13 at 15h30

Free entry | Hours: Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

This exhibition doesn't show just one theme, but the chain that connects successive themes. They are distinct, but traces of one appear in the other. Some works translate dreams and subjective experiences through images of water. Houses represent the next theme, of interior and exterior, and of seeing and being seen - with windows playing a mediating role. This new dialogue between different perspectives confuses what comes first - does the interior experience precede contact with the exterior? Or are architectural structures destroyed by the flood?
