Invitation: Opening of «Luminous Matter» | 15/09/2021, 5 to 9 p.m

The Museu Coleção Berardo has the pleasure of inviting you to the opening of Luminous Matter, on Wednesday, 15 September, from 5 to 9 p.m.

Luminous Matter explores light-based approaches by means of an itinerary through artistic practices in Portugal, from the mid-1960s until today. Featuring thirty-eight artists, the exhibition assembles a very diversified set of art forms, as well as trends, aesthetic processes, and conceptual stances. Being an essential theme, present throughout the history of art and, correlatively, of the image, light is examined in its multiple meanings, as a material and means of visual expression, as an aesthetic, poetic, and allegoric motif, and as an integral part of a culture that is becoming more and more imbricated with technological systems.
