Galeria Francisco Fino Lisbon
All events at this venue 1 Directions

Galeria Francisco Fino presents Alfredo Jaar's first solo exhibition in Portugal, curated by Maurizio Bortolotti, bringing together works that reflect on the politics of images, historical memory, and the viewer's ethical responsibility.

The exhibition brings together for the first time in Portugal three fundamental works by the artist, proposing a reflection on the politics of the image, historical memory, and the ethical responsibility of the viewer. Galeria Francisco Fino presents One Million Points of Light, Alfredo Jaar's first solo exhibition at the gallery. Curated by Maurizio Bortolotti, the exhibition brings together a selection of works that articulate some of the central questions underlying Jaar's practice: the politics of the image, the ethics of representation, and the viewer's responsibility in a world saturated with visual information. Over more than four decades, Jaar has investigated how images shape our understanding of reality and mediate our relationship with human suffering, violence, and historical memory. At a time when images circulate incessantly through global communication systems and social media, his work resists spectacle and the urgency of the immediate, proposing instead a space for reflection, silence, and ethical confrontation. Rather than reproducing the rhetoric of mass media, Jaar strips the image of excess and restores its human dimension. Tuesday to Friday, 12pm–7pm; Saturday, 2pm–7pm. Technical sheet: Curated by Maurizio Bortolotti.
