Community, biology, gender, social exclusion, post-contemporaneity, body, mental health: the physical and the metaphysical presented in an exhibition where AI, performance, 3D, sound, interactive media and emerging technologies are portals to what moves society we live in. And, exactly for this reason, the Fashion we work with.
WORKSTATION NEW MEDIA, a new project by Associação ModaLisboa, with the support of the República Portuguesa — Cultura / Direção Geral das Artes, curated by Miguel Flor, presented its first exhibition from the 5th to the 8th of October, at Carpintarias de São Lázaro.
The exhibition included the work of three invited artists — paatiff, Rudolfo Quintas and the collective ZABRA — and the five names selected from the open call: Extramundus :: João e Sara, Marco Maiato, Mindeformer & Zalda, Ricardo Santos aka Postmodern Bot and S4RA. On the first day of the event, the jury — Eduarda Abbondanza, Miguel Flor and João Pedro Fonseca and Carincur (ZABRA) — announced the winner of the first edition of WORKSTATION NEW MEDIA: S4RA
