As Imagens que nos contam
The exhibition Marcos Chaves: as imagens que nos contam brings together works by the artist from the last four decades. Occupying a large part of the Exhibition Block galleries, the exhibition offers a panorama of Chaves’ work, including installations, sculptures, objects, photographs and videos.
The works show the diversity of languages, formats and expressions developed by the artist since the beginning of his career, while at the same time demonstrating a creative impulse that constantly engages with the reality of which he is a part. The works, whether photographic, sculptural, video or installation, can be thought of as images that capture fundamental aspects of the landscapes the artist inhabits, of the places he moves through – landscapes and places that are also ours.
His gaze recurrently focuses on aspects that are perhaps less visible, often ignored, but which in his works become profoundly revealing. Elements that are irrelevant to other gazes, errors or sloppiness that Chaves notices and captures, and which he presents anew, offer access to the structures and processes that shape the worlds we inhabit.
