Yesterday, the Zet Gallery inaugurated an exhibition by Pedro Calapez called ‘Fronteiras (Borders).’ This exhibition will be on show at the gallery until September 21st. The inauguration was attended by José Teixeira, director of the dstgroup.
The ‘Zet Gallery’ in Braga inaugurated an exhibition called ‘Fronteiras’ by Pedro Calapez at around 6 pm yesterday. The opening of this exhibition was attended by Helena Mendes Pereira, curator of the ‘Zet Gallery,’ and José Teixeira, director of the dstgroup.
In an exhibition that reflects on his career, the artist has chosen 23 works in different media and technologies that explore various industrial materials such as aluminum and brick. The exhibition also touches on the various possibilities of painting, through establishing the idea of ‘borders’ and their crossing in various ways.
José Teixeira, director of the dstgroup, emphasized that it was a source of pride to promote an exhibition by Pedro Calapez in Braga.
“Having Pedro Calapez in Braga is an extraordinary joy. Not just for the Zet Gallery and the dstgroup, but for the city. It is the first time Pedro Calapez has been in Braga for a 20-year retrospective exhibition. We’re bringing top artists to Braga in order for them to be experienced by citizens, because we believe we need to have a restless, cosmopolitan city and the arts play that role,” José Teixeira told Correio do Minho.
For her part, Helena Mendes Pereira, curator at the Zet Gallery, told our newspaper that it had been easy to work with Pedro Calapez and that the artist managed to approach the industrial ‘ethos’ of the Zet Gallery and the dstgroup in an excellent manner.
“The exhibition will be open to view at the Zet Gallery until 21 September. We were extremely interested in working with Pedro Calapez and the invitation we extended to him was promptly accepted. This is a retrospective exhibition of the artist’s career. Pedro Calapez visited our space and understood our industrial ‘ethos’ very well and closed in on our roots with works that reflect that industrialness, without ever losing his own roots. It was extremely easy to work with Pedro Calapez. It was a very natural process and we’re happy with the final product,” said Helena Mendes Pereira.
What is more, Pedro Calapez, who also gave an exclusive interview to Correio do Minho, admitted that he had conducted an intensive study of the ‘Zet Gallery’ space in order to understand which works would best suit this gallery space in Braga.
“This exhibition has 23 works that are a selection of 19 years of my work. We wanted to create an exhibition of works from different periods. I found works in my archive that would suit this space, and I made a model of the space to understand what the best options would be. The oldest work on display is from 2005, while the most recent is from this year. There are also works on display here that have never been shown before,” the artist confessed.
Pedro Calapez also emphasized that it was always good to have the chance to look back and reflect on his career as an artist and expressed his gratitude to the Zet Gallery for the opportunity given to him.
