Júlia Ventura, Agente de Fronteira Tunisino, 2008

Júlia Ventura is an internationally renowned artist based in Portugal and the Netherlands. Over the course of her career, which spans five decades, she has developed one of the most impressive bodies of work in the Portuguese art scene. For her exhibition at Lumiar Cité she has developed an installation that brings together new photographic works with what she calls ‘objects of interest’. The different works, carefully positioned in dialogue with the architecture of the gallery, share a focus on signifiers, where expressions take on meaning and become content.

Júlia Ventura (Lisbon, 1952) lives and works in Lisbon and Amsterdam. Her solo exhibitions include the following venues and institutions: CAV – Centro de Artes Visuais, and Colégio das Artes (all Coimbra); Centro Cultural de Belém, Culturgest, and Fundação Arpad Szenes-Vieira da Silva (all Lisbon); Gemeentelijk Museum (Arnhem); Kröller-Müller Museum (Otterlo); MAMCO Genève; Museu de Serralves (Porto); Museum Fodor (Amsterdam); and Villa Arson Nice. His group exhibitions include the following venues and institutions: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea do Chiado, and Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes (all Lisbon); Institut Néerlandais (Paris); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid); Shanghai Biennale; and Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam).
