Fundação de Serralves

Net buiten de stad, in het westen van Porto, vind je een must-visit museum: Fundação de Serralves. Buiten het museum, waar je moderne en hedendaagse kunst a volonté vindt, heb je nog andere prachtige bezienswaardigheden. Een prachtig roze paviljoen en een wandeling door de bomen. Serralves heeft het allemaal!

Het paviljoen

Naast het museum vind je een prachtig paviljoen ontworpen door José Marques da Silva. Het roze gebouw is werkelijk een architecturale parel dat je aandacht zal vasthouden. In het paviljoen vind je de tijdelijke exposities. Net naast het paviljoen vind je een klein kappelletje, wat werkelijk de rust zelve is. Momenteel loopt er een expositie over Alexander Calder, dé master in kinetische kunst. Met zijn imposante mobielen en kunst dompel je jezelf helemaal in zijn wereld.

Het park

Naast het museum en het paviljoen, vind je een prachtig en eindeloos park met een nog mooier middenplein. Een perfecte plek om even de stad te ontwijken, maar ook om verdwaald te geraken in de natuur. Wil je even de hoogte in? Dat kan! Je kan namelijk een wandeling maken tussen de bomen via het houten pad. Wij raden je aan om dit pad in de avond te doen. Tijdens de avond is het pad namelijk verlicht, wat jouw ervaring nog leuker zal maken.

Heb je zin om er even op uit te gaan? Neem zeker een kijkje op de website van het museum. Je kan de expositie van Alexander Calder nog tot 19 mei 2024 ontdekken, samen met de permanente en tijdelijke collecties in het hoofdpaviljoen.

hi! I hope you're having a lovely day :) feel free to ignore this if you don't want to do more work on tumblr lol, but you seem very knowledgeable about all sorts of historical and touristy things in Portugal, so I figured I'd ask anyway!

I'm going to north Portugal in September on my honeymoon, we're spending 5 days in Porto, then a couple of days near the Douro valley, and then a few days near Manteigas in the Serra da Estrela national park.

me and my husband are both very into museums/art galleries and historic buildings - is there anything in Porto that we absolutely shouldn't miss whilst we're there? is there any particular food we should try? do you have any recommendations for cafes or restaurants to visit?

Hi! Very glad to answer!

Porto is beautiful and I promise you are going to love it, and I admit I'm excited about you going to Serra da Estrela. It's so quiet at that time of the year, all you hear is nature, it's just so peaceful. Also, please try the cheese. Serra da Estrela cheese is a sin, it's so good, and you can go straight to the source there.

In Porto, there is a lot to see, especially if you enjoy museums, monuments and galleries, so I'll list a few things:

Palácio da Bolsa is a must, in my opinion. I believe they have guided tours, if you are interested in that.

Clérigos Church, Hospital and Tower. The view from up there is amazing, but the whole building is rich with history and super interesting, and the church is beautiful.

Porto's Cathedral, which includes the Chapter House and has some amazing artworks inside.

The entire area of the old Borrough of Porto, which is the hill where the Cathedral sits on. That is where the oldest house in Porto is (in Beco dos Redemoinhos, it's about 700 years old), or where the "stairs of the queen" also are, said to have been the stairs taken Countess Teresa on her way to the church that would later become the Cathedral, and the watch tower in front of it.

There are points of interest you might come across as must-sees in Porto but you're better off standing there looking at it cause they're either expensive or they're a McDonalds. The McDonalds building is beautiful, yes. Majestic café is a unique art nouveau building, but it's SO expensive.

On that note, Lello. Lello is interesting and super beautiful, I am not one to discourage people from visiting it. But expect a long line. (it's right next to Clérigos and you can see it from there...). However, you can buy the tickets online (I think they're 5€) and that allows you to skip the line, and if you buy a book, the price of the ticket is deducted from your purchase.

For museums, Soares dos Reis has a lot of art, from painting to sculpture to decorative arts, and it's rich with some of the most important portuguese artists, focused mostly on the circle of Porto, especially from the 19th century.

Porto is known ofr being a vast sea of blue and white tiles. You don't have to look for them, you will just find them. However, Capelinha das Almas and Church of Santo Ildefonso are a good example (Ildefonso stares at Clérigos directly... they were once rivals).

And on THAT note... São Bento Train Station. It is worth it just standing there admiring the architecture and the tiles (keep in mind a lot of these things are stuff you can just include on a long walk)

Some streets... Rua das Flores, or famously Rua de Santa Catarina (where you'll find Majestic and Capelinha das Almas) they're all just very nice walks. Same for Ribeira (the riverside). No plans, just a walk while enjoying the view.

If you are interested in Contemporary Art, Fundação Serralves. At the very least, the gardens are wonderful and they're just a great place to rest and enjoy the afternoon (I think they have cafés there too, but I haven't been there in years, now).

Go on a Douro Valley tour. I cannot emphasise how great these are. You get to visit a handful of cellars, try several wines and enjoy a ride across the Douro. In Porto itself, they also have boat rides across the Douro, some might have wine, I'm not sure, but I find it so much more enriching to do a Douro Valley tour and be able to visit the cellars.

As for food and where to eat, I am not going to give you any restaurant names because I KNOW I have people from Porto who follow me and they can answer that better than I can, but there's 2 things I usually tell people to try in Porto.

One, of course, is Francesinha. It's going to feel like it's a lot. I call it a tower of bread with fibre for days. But try it, because nowhere else in Portugal can they make them as well as they make them in Porto. Besides it's one of the most important hallmarks of Porto culture, and I find that it's a fundamental experience in your journey to try Francesinha. It's like going to Valencia and trying Paella, you just HAVE to.

The other one is a personal opinion and choice of mine because, well, Portugal is known for codfish dishes and my all time favourite codfish dish was born in Porto and it's Bacalhau à Gomes Sá. If I'm not mistaken, it was born on a restaurant that was nearby Ribeira, somewhere in that area, and they actually put up a goddamn plaque celebrating this

Ribeira is the easiest place to find this dish, but it's going to be above average in price (I can guarantee you someone will come into this post to scream that it's a complete theft how expensive it is, but we're just poor and cheapskates, and the restaurants aren't bad. Again, they're going to be above average but not all are ridiculously overprices).

On a final note, if you're interested in doing a walk tour of Porto, there are several companies that do so, but I happen to know a guide who is currently living and working in Porto and I can ask her availability and you guys can agree on something if you're interested. Just let me know!

I hope you have an amazing time!!!!

Anything else, let me know!!

#also try green wine #it's not from Porto it's from Minho but you're close enough to get the good stuff

“Não há arte natural, não acredito. É uma coisa artificial, criada pelo Homem. Aliás, a palavra arte e a palavra artificial começam pelas mesmas letras. É uma presença completamente artificial. E interessa-me essas sobreposições de realidades e esse confronto entre duas existências no mundo.” - Rui Chafes

Mark Bradford (American b. 1961). I recently learned of this series of paintings, which are based on a group of French tapestries owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Bradford’s process involves layering images--often print images and found, printed text material--and then scraping, digging, and sometimes blasting (with a pressure washer) through the layers. The result is rich with surface incident. I’ve paired two of the paintings with the original tapestries they were based on, so you can see the commonalities. Bradford hung these canvases un-stretched, possibly to reinforce their connection to the hanging tapestries.

Mood Keep (2018) Alice dos Reis

Video 13:51 min Directed and Edited by: Alice dos Reis With: Alice dos Reis, Bin Koh, Danae Io Text and Voice: Alice dos Reis Sound: Emile Frankel Camera: Alice dos Reis, Wyatt Niehaus

Mood Keep focuses on the critically endangered Mexican axolotl, a water creature with regenerative abilities that refuses to metamorphose into maturity. In the film, set in the near future, the world population of captive axolotl has had enough of the aggressive electric lights of their aquariums. Communicating via wireless waves and watching anime telepathically, they decide to develop eyelids to shut their eyes, reclaim the agency of their bodies and encourage empathic communication. 

In charting the connections between the axolotl’s post-colonial history, unique - almost unearthly - biology, and recent online popularity as one of the world’s cutest creatures, the work seeks to trace the prevalence of cute imagery in contemporary semiotics.

Alice dos Reis is an artist and filmmaker. She has exhibited, solo and in group, at the Serralves Museum for Contemporary Art (Porto), Kunsthalle Lissabon (Lisbon), Gallerie D’Italia (Torino), 5th Istanbul Design Biennale (Istanbul), RADIUS CCA (Delft), Porto Municipal Gallery (Porto), PuntWG (Amsterdam), Display (Prague), Gallery and Lehmann + Silva, among others. Her films have been shown at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris), EYE Film Museum (Amsterdam), Platform Vdrome, and Museum of the Moving Image (NYC), as well as in various international film festivals. Recently Alice was a recipient of Fundacion Botin Visual Arts Grants (2022-2023). She co-runs Pântano Books, an independent poetry press.

The Evens Arts Prize 2019

The Evens Arts Prize 2019 was awarded to choreographer and artist Eszter Salamon. Composer Éliane Radigue received the Special Mention of the Jury.

The laureates were selected by an independent jury, who chose from a list of 45 internationally acclaimed artists, nominated by representatives of major European cultural institutions.

The Jury of the 2021 edition was composed of Cristina Grande, Head of the Performing Arts Department, Serralves Foundation, Porto; Andrea Lissoni, Senior Curator of International Art (Film), Tate Modern, London; Malgorzata Ludwisiak, Director, Ujazdowski Castle, Center for Contemporary Art, Warsaw; Frank Madlener, Director, IRCAM, Paris | Christophe Slagmuylder, Artistic Director, Wiener Festwochen, Vienna. The Jury Chair was Ernest Van Buynder, former Chairman, M KHA, Antwerp.

Curated by Anne Davidian for Evens Foundation.

The Laureate

The Jury has acknowledged Eszter Salamon’s ambitious and uncompromising work that explores contemporary issues touching upon what has been forgotten, excluded, and repressed in Western consciousness. The Jury has particularly valued the strong European resonance of her work and the way it articulates individual and collective experiences. Building on history to imagine a possible future, Salamon’s œuvre embodies an immaterial inheritance of gestures, movements, and dances to reaffirm art’s insight into the contemporary world.

Born in Budapest, Eszter Salamon lives and works between Berlin, Paris, and Brussels. Her work has been presented at Centre Pompidou, Avignon Festival, PACT Zollverein Essen, Ruhrtriennale, Holland Festival, The Kitchen New York, HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, Berlin Documentary Forum, Kunstenfestivaldesarts Brussels, and Manchester International Festival, as well as in museums including MoMA, Witte de With, Serralves Foundation, Jeu de Paume, Akademie der Künste Berlin, and mumok Vienna.

The award ceremony and a discussion with Eszter Salamon took place on April 12, 2019, at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, during the opening evening of the conference A Soul for Europe.

The Special Mention of the Jury

The Jury recognised and awarded with a special mention the unique path of French composer Éliane Radigue. One of the most innovative and important contemporary composers, she has been a major influence for generations of composers, musicians and artists alike. Exploring minimal rhythms and changes in different harmonies that unfold into intricate sonic webs, Radigue’s work has been deeply shaped by a constant interest and curiosity towards the world appealing for unique forms of introspection, empathy and attunement with the world.

Pioneer of electronic music, Éliane Radigue began a renewal of her creative process in 2002. Enriching her compositions with new timbres and resonances, she has been collaborating with acoustic instrument performers, for whom she composes without scores, according to the principle of oral and aural transmission.

A special event dedicated to Éliane Radigue was organised at Centre Pompidou in Paris on September 13, 2020, by IRCAM and Musée national d'art moderne, in partnership with the Evens Foundation. Read more

Saw this exhibition today @ Serralves:

Dayanita Singh

Dancing with my camera

It was by far the best on show there at the moment. From the very beginning, the show plays with documentative language. It really felt like you were snooping around someone's personal archive.

There was a deep relationship between the artist and the subjects. You felt this through the images themselves but also by the participation of the photographer in the work. She was active in these communities, and that was great because it dodged the classic photographer trope of the outsider looking in. She was capturing from within and it was real and careful.

I was interested, but throughout the experience, I kept talking about how I love viewing photography through the photobook format so when we found one I was immediately drawn in. Little did I know I was about to be HOOKED. The book was a bait and I:

This was the book:

Some of the pages I took photos to consult later:

I felt extremely connected to Mona's words. Happiness/joy/sorrow/loss. It also reminded me of what I've been working on. There was an engolfing sense of queer failure throughout.

When I feel like dying because 1 cannot bear the world any longer, Dayanita arrives to give me love and encouragement. 1998

:(

I wasn't aware of the eunuch community of what the concept even meant, so that was a good discovery. Decolonising my queer history knowledge outside the western queer traditions. I was heartbroken by Mona's writing, but I found joy in the glad moments the photographer captured.

After reading the book for a while, I noticed a photograph. When I got closer, I realized it was a collage and that Mona was edited into the original picture. I loved this series the most. Probably because I am making work about the queer edit. This was that.

If this world doesn't give us what we deserve, then why not edit our own fantasies ? Crafty and rebellious.

I loved these works the most.

I went to the artshop of the museum but they weren't selling a copy of the photobook which is a big shame. I went home righr after that because I wanted to leave on a high.

The beginning of this bit in the gallery started with a vídeo of Mona.

I didn't pay it much attention then, so I feel I would have loved to have seen this at the end after finding what I did. Maybe this wad the point though...to look at them in retrospect. To tease in the beginning but only really come full circle afterwards.

10/10

When the sun disappears, the night brings with it its mysteries, hiding certain elements and revealing others. The lack of light sharpens the senses, the eyes are more open and the ears more attentive. "We" try to see beyond the shadows, smell the earth and hear the noises between the trees. So we started our visit to Serralves Park, not to mention that we would be surprised by the light installations that revealed other aspects of this unique space in Porto.

The route starts, shortly after 9 pm, at the beginning of the path that gives access to the Park. The colors of the rainbow, projected on one of the white walls of the Museum of Contemporary Art, draw attention. They are the first contact with the Serralves in Luz exhibition. “Our goal was to create a different night experience, to create different sensations through light”, explains Nuno Maya, the artistic brain behind the exhibition.

Using different sources of light, such as LED, halogen, hmi, laser or video, the three-kilometer route takes us on an immersive journey through Serralves Park through 24 installations.
