In AzLab#55 colour will be highlighted! João Pernão, professor at the Lisbon School of Architecture and founding partner of the Portuguese Association of Colour, will address colour on the azulejo (tile) as an ephemeral and fleeting element, which finds in this medium "its field of choice for a sensory expression in perpetual alteration".

It plots genealogies and contextualises new developments made possible by the advances of digital and network technology.

 

Finissage of the exhibition Alto Nível Baixo. 6 pm: Guided tour with the curators: Marta Mestre and Natxo Checa.

Throughout the eight sessions the decorative arts will be approached in multiple aspects.

 

Thus, attention will be devoted to different aspects of our relationship with the decorative arts: from study to realization, through commercialization, exhibition and, of course, enjoyment. The sessions will take place on Thursdays at the School of Arts and Humanities, except for the last one that will take place on a Saturday morning and will consist of a visit to the House-Museum Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves, in order to address in situ a situation of enjoyment of the decorative arts by a great collector.

The year 2020 begins with a foray into advertising azulejos. The promoters of the Portuguese advertising azulejo project explain how this initiative was born, its objectives and the work done in its first year of existence. The session will also be attended by Lara Lourenço, an intern at the Azulejo Research Network and responsible for articulating the project contents with the system Az Infinitum.

 

Invited speakers:

Project team - Cátia Santos | David Francisco | Isabel Boavida | Paulo Guerreiro

Lara Lourenço [Az - Rede de Investigação em Azulejo (ARTIS-IHA/FLUL)]
