zet gallery has inaugurated the exhibition ‘Constructed Landscapes’ by Inês d’Orey, based on the book of the same name by Valdemar Cruz, the publication of which was supported by the dstgroup. It is an “extraordinary” exhibition, according to José Teixeira.
“Inês d’Orey’s view of architecture is absolutely extraordinary,” underlined José Teixeira, CEO of the dstgroup, at the inauguration of the new exhibition ‘Constructed Landscapes,’ at zet gallery, which opened yesterday.
The exhibition, which runs until 19 October, is based on Valdemar Cruz’s book of the same name, the publication of which was supported by the dstgroup.
On display are 16 images of the works that are included in the aforementioned book ‘Constructed Landscapes – The past and present of Portuguese architecture in 16 works+1’.
Speaking to Correio do Minho, Valdemar Cruz recalled that the book was compiled from the individual choices of more than fifty architects, critics, curators, professors from faculties of architecture, visual artists, civil engineers, photographers and a geographer.
Following these indications, Valdemar selected a group of 16 works to represent the best designs by Portuguese architects since the outset of the 20th century up to the present day. That was the proposal he made to the dstgroup, which sponsored the publication of the book, which is now sold out. “The book as an object is beautiful in itself, irrespective of its content. What I wish to emphasize is that the book as it stands was only possible thanks to the support given by dst. We could have a book based on the project, but not with the quality and dimension that this book has,” emphasized the author, who invited Inês d’Orey to photograph the works suggested for the book.
“This project was very well executed and was very interesting. I was delighted to receive the invitation from Valdemar, who gave me complete freedom to photograph without imposing any constraints on me,” said Inês d’Orey, emphasizing that the selection of the images that make up the work was undertaken together with the author and also the designer André Cruz.
There are 16 images in the exhibition, but more than a hundred can be seen in the slide show that forms part of the exhibition. These are the images of the works suggested by those who too up the author’s challenge.
José Teixeira emphasized what a privilege it has been for dst to have a light shone on it. At the inauguration, he quoted the verse ‘Illuminate-me,’ from one of the songs of the Portuguese singer Pedro Abrunhosa: “When we have light on us, lots of projects appear and this is a light that happens because of the business life choices we make, because of our diverse cultural activity in the arts, literature, poetry, philosophy, and now, for the first time, the Nobel Prize for Literature (the French author J.M.G. Le Clézio) is coming to Portugal, at our invitation, and people come because they have confidence in us,” he declared. The Nobel laureate is coming to Braga on 17 November as part of the Utopia Literary Festival.
“When we occupy a central point because we have been enlightened by these options stemming from the liberal arts, many projects come our way and one of them was this project by Valdemar Cruz,” he added.
Teixeira praised the work, as well as the images captured by Inês D’Orey, considering that this is an exhibition of interest to everyone, particularly architects and designers.
He was particularly pleased that two projects were included in which dst participated, the Carrilho da Graça Bridge and the Braga Municipal Stadium.
And in the field of architecture, he was happy with another achievement by dst. “It is an honor. Now we have Siza working with us, Souto Moura working with us, and Norman Foster working with us, which is unusual in Braga. It is an honor for us. What an honor it is to have this work and this exhibition here.”
