Como é o museu com que sonha ? = What museum do you dream of ?

Description

Tent. Évora, Fórum Eugénio de Almeida, 18-04-2015, 06-09-2015. - The show asserts these principles not by listing them, but by presenting a number of questions that may help us reflect on the role and importance that spaces like Fórum Eugénio de Almeida have today. "What is the purpose of art and art exhibitions? What is the purpose of curators? What is the purpose of museums? How do we, the public, relate to this entity? Do we desire it? Do we need it? Do we want the museum we have the right to, or the one that is given to us? And what do we want this museum for? What role do we want this museum that we dream of to have in our community?" Affirming the Fórum as a place for creation and a place for the construction of the individual and of our society, the aim of this exhibition is not so much to answer these questions as it is to remember that, as we create and construct them, we all face the challenges they pose. The exhibition brings together artists and artworks that deal with many of the issues we think as essential to this debate: participation, sharing, diversity, exploration, community, and the creation of new narratives and new perspectives
