Friday 25 September · until 15 Feb
Curated by João Pinharanda, Margarida Chantre and Sérgio Mah, Turn Around brings together around 100 works from the EDP Foundation Collection at MAAT Central, proposing an open route through Portuguese art of recent decades, on show until 2027.
Turn Around presents itself as one of the broadest and most ambitious public readings of contemporary art in Portugal. Curated by João Pinharanda, Margarida Chantre and Sérgio Mah, the exhibition brings together around 100 works from the EDP Foundation Collection, a collection begun in 2000 that today includes some 2,500 works by more than 340 artists. On show at MAAT Central in two moments — from 11 February and from 29 April —, the exhibition was conceived as a single exhibition project, on display until 2027. Far from a thematic or chronological organisation, the selection proposes an open route, built from the dialogue between works, generations and languages, in close relation with the architecture of the space. Between established artists and emerging voices, Turn Around reveals affinities, frictions and continuities that run through Portuguese artistic practices of recent decades. Wednesday to Monday, from 10am to 7pm. Technical sheet: Curated by João Pinharanda, Margarida Chantre and Sérgio Mah.
