LUMIAR CITÉ
João Penalva
STANLEY
29.09. - 09.12.2018
In his solo exhibition at Lumiar Cité, João Penalva alludes to the work of the artist Stanley Brouwn (Paramaribo, Suriname, 1935 - Amsterdam, 2017) through measuring tools and devices, photographs, artist’s books and other publications.
The exhibition is accompanied with the artist's book 170 x 205 mm, published by Maumaus / Lumiar Cité in a signed and numbered limited edition of 300 copies and 30 artist’s proofs.
Drawing on such varied media as video, film and slides projections, sound installations, artist's books, drawing or painting, João Penalva's work approaches different narrative techniques through a precise articulation between object, image, text, language and sound, always composed with an audience in mind, who should untangle them with the greatest freedom of interpretation.
At the origin of these narratives, where fact and fiction coexist easily, are often found objects and artefacts that the artist fictionalizes as characters in the frame of large-scale installations or in more intimate works.
João Penalva has lived in London since studying at Chelsea School of Art in the late 1970s and early 1980s, after a career as a dancer with the companies of Jean Pomarés, Pina Bausch and Gerhard Bohner.
João Penalva (Lisbon, 1949) represented Portugal in the Venice Biennale (2001) and the São Paulo Biennial (1996). He exhibited also in the Biennale of Sydney (2002) and the Berlin Biennale (2001).
He was awarded the DAAD Berlin Artists Residency in 2003.
