Closing of the exhibition
On the 18th of September, at 7pm, Zaratan - Arte Contemporânea is pleased to invite for the closing of the exhibition Ameias by Stéphane Blumer. The work presented in the exhibition investigates the conflict zone between individuality and community. Within specifics cultural and historical contexts, one of the intentions is to identify moments of discontinuity which reevaluate socio-political structures. Intending to put at risk personal conventions as much as cultural ones, “Ameias” investigates language and its gaps and shortcomings. Ranging between audio-visual and installation, the works presented at Zaratan is constantly juggling between what is easily thought and hard to express, and what is unthinkable and here exposed without effort.
