Anotações sobre as nuvens, by Marta Leite

Opening September 12th, 4pm / Until October 9th

In the Exhibition “Anotações sobre as nuvens”, Marta Leite questions landscape through events that take place above the abstract horizon.
In so doing, a parallel is created between the phenomena of evaporation and forgetfulness.
The body of work to be presented will try, through form and materials, to address the fleeting character of those phenomena as well as experiences, memories and feelings which have become dormant.
