An exhibition marking a new period in the museum programme in
which artist spaces are constructed that allow visitors to examine
some of the core thematic and narrative issues at work in Paula
Rego's art from a problematic and updated perspective.
Bruno Pacheco's project for the Casa das Histórias
Paula Rego, which consists mostly of large-scale figurative
paintings, drawings and objects, develops powerful visual
narratives which question the patterns of representation in
contemporary art.
By focusing on three moments in the artist's exhibiting career,
the intention is to mark the memory of the development of her work
via three presentations which while different, featuring separate
themes and work, come together through the exhibition's single
unifying thread.
Bruno Pacheco (b. 1974) was chosen to begin this
new series of exhibitions because he is ideally suited for this
dialogue, above all due to the work he has developed in drawing and
painting, both in Lisbon and London, where he lives and regularly
exhibits. The exhibition is curated by Helena Freitas.
The exhibition catalogue will be launched at a date to be
announced.
