Nove dias depois da queda

Comunicato stampa

Monitor Lisbon is pleased to announce Nove dias depois da queda, a group show featuring, for the first time in the gallery, works by Portuguese artists Pedro Anacleto (Lisbon, 2002), Pedro Batista (Lisbon, 1980), Joana Coelho (Lisbon, 1998) and Diogo Guerra Pinto (Lisbon, 1971).

Bringing together multiple different expressions of painting and drawing, this exhibition explores the idea of a non-linear course through foreign, sometimes scary and alien-like environments, witnessing this very idea through the broad spectrum of artists represented in the show.

Evoking this idea of a dangerous and unclear traverse, Nove dias depois da queda invites the viewer to analyze both the difficult journeys and challenges found in life, and how these reflect the changes and evolutions found in ourselves and our paths. These traverses, both figurative and literalm, whose length and sceneries we do not know, are mimicked in the title of the show, a reference in old mythology of the amount of time it would take for an anvil to fall from the Heavens to the Earth, trying to give measure to what is essentially an immeasurable distance.
