FPM #3 - Da construção ao imaginário | From construction to the imaginary

Synopsis

The FPM #3 exhibition can be seen as an extension of a book published by the PLMJ Foundation in 2019, entitled Espaços Imaginados (Imagined Spaces). As such, this exhibition has the subtitle Da construção ao imaginário (From construction to the imaginary), which refers to the themes covered in that edition and proposes a view that develops between the place, the works of art in the collection, and the built structure, the FPM building. The imagery that follows it on the one hand and becomes present in the memory of the design on the other is present in the documentary photographs by Nuno Cera and Paulo Catrica, in the project by the architects Barbas Lopes and in the preparatory drawings (studies) by the architect Ricardo Bak Gordon.

Throughout the exhibition, the works selected by artists from the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, the photographic documents and the preparatory drawings contribute to a field of possibilities in which the place of the body, in its spatial transition, is inseparable from a projected imaginary, sometimes questioning the place where that same body is inscribed. Like a constant search for its identity, in a speculative and fictional way, but also present in the images of built constructions, abstract landscapes, patterns such as orthogonal grids, and figures and gestures in imaginary spaces.
