chairs, blankets, cars, flowers, shoes, fabrics, toilets, pavements, urinals, and other goods for sale by João Penalva

Collection curated by Helena Mendes Pereira

João Penalva (PT, 1949) is an inescapable name in the history of contemporary art, whose vast international curriculum also includes the official Portuguese representation at the 2001 Venice Biennale. In Braga, he brings us over twenty works, produced between 2006 and 2022, in which he uses photography and painting to present his long and imaginative look on "everyday, very ordinary things" that he never thinks of as banal.
