Talk with the artist Isabel Carvalho

On the 12th of May, at 3:00 pm, in room A5, there will be a talk with the artist Isabel Carvalho*.

*Isabel Carvalho (Porto, 1977). Her artistic career is characterized by a strong experimental component based on research, mainly in philosophy and literature, and developed at the crossroads of the arts with the sciences and theoretical knowledge. In her projects, she addresses issues related to the materiality underlying language.

Her work has been developed in the intimate articulation between the visual arts, writing, editing, and publishing books, a group of expressions or means that, over the last few years, has expanded to sculpture and the occupation of the three-dimensional space. She regularly exhibits individually and collectively, highlighting, among her most recent presentations, the following: Langages Tissés, Center d’Arte Le Lait (Albi), in France and AR(a)C(hné)-EN-CIEL, Gallery Blue Square (Lisbon), Strange Attractor, White Pavilion (Lisbon) and Clay Feet, Porto Municipal Gallery (Porto), in Portugal. She has done artist residencies at Kusntlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany; Hangar, Barcelona, Spain and Maaretta Jaukkuri Foundation, Lofoten, Norway. She is represented in several public collections. She was responsible for the Navio Vazio project, a temporary occupation space for editorial experimentation in three dimensions. In 2017, she started Leonorana magazine, of which she is the author and editor.
