THE 80S AT THE SERRALVES FOUNDATION, PORTO
|
|
A show at the Serralves in Porto focuses on art's return of the object, and to the body, after the long period of conceptual, language-based work in the ten years that preceded it; as opposed to some of the more usual takes on the decade, this is a show re-vindicating the continuation of an informed, radical art tradition that inspired it starting a generation before.

ERWIN WURM AT CRISTINA GUERRA, LISBON
|
|
'In the end, art deals with the difficulty of coping with life - be it by means of a philosophy or a nutritional diet,' Erwin Wurm. If you're in Lisbon don't miss the Austrian artist's exhibition of playful sculptures which also attempt a more serious critique of the formalist legacy of modernism. The exhibition also includes a series of recent colour photographs documented in a new book about Wurm's work, entitled The artist who swallowed the world, which is published by Hatje Cantz to coincide with this touring exhibition.
