Carlos Bunga was part of the group exhibition Modus Operandi at Serralves. The exhibition brings together works that have been incorporated into the Serralves Collection since it was launched in 1989. It reflects specific experimental or transdisciplinary approaches and includes conceptual and formal themes that convey the attitudes, contexts and concerns that marked art production since the 1960s.

Carlos Bunga’s “Intento de conservácion IV, 2015“, was part of the exhibition “HISTORY(IES) OF ART RECENT ACQUISITIONS IN THE SERRALVES COLLECTION” at the Serralves Museum, next to 11 other artists’ whose work had been recently acquired.

This group exhibition presented at Galeria do Torreão Nascente da Cordoaria showcased some of Fundación ARCO’s collection and how art has been evolving since the 60s. Bunga’s included piece was Intento de conservación III.

With works from the Fundación Botín collection, this exhibition was a reflection on a the current world marked by mutation, instability, social conflict, political tension and environmental danger, and the fragmented perception of reality where the real and the imaginary come increasingly closer together.
