Casa da Imagem Gallery

Casa da Imagem, since its inauguration in 1991, has housed an individual proposal in the visual arts scene. Based on the understanding that art is a field capable of surpassing socially crystallized experiences and that exhibition spaces are instruments for the promotion and promotion of these relationships, the gallery - in addition to showing and launching new artists - sought to constitute itself as a permanent forum for discussions and reflections on art, aesthetics, culture and cultural policy. In its 24 years of activity, it has held over a hundred individual and collective exhibitions; it also promoted numerous projects, events, seminars, courses, discussion cycles and lectures. In recent years, in parallel with the presentation of new artistic poetics, the space has been mobilizing curatorial efforts in order to promote investigations about contemporary aesthetic judgment, aiming to present a concept of art not reducible to institutional or market expectations.
