Eureka!
23 July 2021 – 5 March 2023Curator António Saint Silvestre and Richard Treger
Centro de Arte Oliva
The exhibition EUREKA! displays works by around fifty unorthodox authors, mainly self-taught artists, coming from the so-called realms of art brut or outsider art, many of them inhabiting an indeterminate place between science and artistic creation, but also between technology and metaphysics. The show presents an overview of projects and investigations, codes, formulas and theories that convey alternative models of interpretation of reality and that transmit idiosyncratic visions and solutions to the world. Simultaneously, plans and projects of inventions, machines and various vehicles are exhibited, with a vast gallery of planes, cars, trains and UFOs.
