Madragoa – Exhibition: Homesick for Another World, various artists
MADRAGOA is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2016 in the homonymous neighborhood of Lisbon’s historical center. Since its beginning, the gallery has been an early supporter of a number of international young artists such as Adrián Balseca, Rodrigo Hernández, Renato Leotta, Buhlebezwe Siwani, Joanna Piotrowska, and Yuli Yamagata, whose first productions and exhibition have been produced and promoted by the gallery and often presented for the first time in Portugal. Moreover, Madragoa launched the careers of young Portuguese artists such as Sara Chang Yan, Luís Lázaro Matos, Gonçalo Preto, and Jaime Welsh, giving them visibility on the international scene.

From its peripheral location in Europe, MADRAGOA’s project focuses on how to set a deep conversation with the city and its extraordinary potential, setting a dialogue between global artistic practices and local craftsmanship and ideas. The gallery always created experiences of research and production for its artists locally and promotes its program also through the participation in a number of international art fairs, gallery exchanges, and exhibition projects.

"Homesick for Another World", with works by Tristan Chevillard (1997, Paris), Enzo Cucchi (1949, Morro d'Alba), Jeanne Gaigher (1990, Cape Town), Alice Guittard (1986, Nice), Rodrigo Hernández (1983, Mexico City), Isabel Merchante (1999, Madrid), Raffaella della Olga (1967, Cisano Bergamasco), Buhlebezwe Siwani (1987, Johannesburg).

3+1 Arte Contemporânea – Exhibition: Vivenciar by Alberto Carneiro and Charlotte Moth
3+1 Arte Contemporânea, founded in Lisbon in February 2007, was created with the aim of promoting Portuguese and international artists, focusing on original proposals that emphasise the diversity that qualifies contemporary artistic practices. The gallery has distinguished itself by presenting international artists little known to the Portuguese public, along with emerging national talents of exceptional quality. 3+1 intends to continue broadening its horizons by investing in internationalisation.

3+1 Arte Contemporânea is pleased to present Vivenciar,with works by Alberto Carneiro (1937–2017, Portugal) and Charlotte Moth (1978, UK), and curated by Caroline Hancock. In this exhibition Moth shows a new series of works in dialogue with pieces by Carneiro, creating an asynchronous narrative that enables new ways of interpreting both of their practices.
