The exhibition presented FLAD’s collection of contemporary art to the Azorean public for the first time, showcasing 146 works by 66 artists, mostly Portuguese of several generations, at The Arquipélago – Contemporary Arts Centre.
FLAD’s collection, launched in 1986, consists mostly of works by Portuguese artists and brings together a set of works representative of the scene of the 80s, 90s, and beginning of the 21st century, with new acquisitions between the end of 2019 and the year 2020. Composed mostly by drawing, it also integrates painting, photography, and sculpture, and recently added more works by women, as well as works by artists representing the multicultural composition of the country.
Three axes emerge from the Collection and give rise to this exhibition – Feast. Fury. Femina. They celebrate the collection, evoke the dimension of performativity inherent to contemporary artistic practices, and highlight the feminine dimension, requiring a renewed look at Art History.
