The shair project, run by the dst group, is presenting a free-admission exhibition until 5 May with the works of 21 new artists in the areas of Drawing, Sculpture, Painting and Photography. This is the kick off for a project that aims to decisively stimulate the production, fruition and then the sale of artistic works.
This first show contrasts and brings together some of the best young artists from different areas to share their works in one space. This may raise some concerns but it is also a notion of the complementary nature of apparently divergent art forms. The exhibition is planned and structured to preserve the coherence of each individual speech, while encouraging pertinent dialogues and intercepts at the same time.
Drawing works were produced by the young artists João Maia e Silva, Ricardo Acosta, José Maria Martins Leite, João Miguel Abreu, Mafalda Ramos and Daniela Nunes. The 4th art (sculpture) brings together works by Agostinha Moreira, Ricardo Pacheco, Ana Bárbara Fonseca, António Amorim, Carmo Osul, Jorge Lourenço, Daniela Nunes and Filipe Cortez. There are paintings by Jorge Lourenço, Joana Cheganças, Ana Temudo, Fernando Teixeira, Vicente Nunes and Carlos Mensil, while there are photographs by Ana Maria Trabulo, Luís Tavares and Daniel Camacho.
shair project throws down the gauntlet to emerging artists
This innovative project arrives in Braga as a place to share and sell art and where emerging artists can exhibit their works permanently. This is an online platform - www.shairproject.com - which is associated with the Emergentes dst Gallery, in Braga that hopes to publicise new artistic ideas letting more and more people from anywhere in the world enjoy art . The website, which was launched on 5 April, was developed by innovation point, a dst group R&D company.
In order to join the project, artists have to create an account and submit their works to the online platform, and then their works go through a pre-approval process and are assessed by the platform users and a guest jury every month. The works with the most votes, or those selected by the jury, will have the opportunity to go on to auction and will be exhibited in the Emergentes dst Gallery.
The artists themselves define the starting price for the bidding process on the shair project, when they upload their works. However, if after being in the assessment process for three months the works have not reached the gallery, they can still be sold directly on the website, where the starting price becomes the fixed price for the work. Regardless of whether the works get chosen or not to be exhibited in the gallery, everyone has the chance of getting their works seen and selling them.
José Teixeira, Chairman of the board at dst group highlighted the philosophy behind the shair project "as an approach that proposes to contribute not only to the discovery, sale and dissemination of emerging artists, but also to provoke controversy, encourage conversations and foster artistic production.
