Research, curation and book publishing on art and craft made in Portugal
FEIRA DOS AMORES
10, 11, 12 DEC
The Feira dos Amores marks the final chapter of a five-year cycle: a journey that began with the Feira Não Cancelada and now finds its natural conclusion in the theme of love.
It is a celebration bringing together invited artists who created pieces responding to the challenge set, an interpretation of the central theme: love.
COLEÇÕES 2 . ANTÓNIO CARMELO AIRES
The book Coleções #2 – António Carmelo Aires presents one of the most interesting private collections of Portuguese folk art today. Born in Redondo, Alentejo, Carmelo Aires began collecting at a young age, showing interest in various types of objects. However, it was the material culture of his homeland that captivated him most, leading him to assemble a remarkable collection of Redondo pottery, pastoral art and traditional kitchen utensils.
curating
Whether curating an exhibition, sourcing objects, collaborating with artists to create new pieces, I love to research all around Portugal and celebrate our singular and diverse heritage. I can also assemble antique crafts collections to respond to a specific request.
COLEÇÕES · FELIPA ALMEIDA
Our aim in this publication is not to suggest yet another interpretation of the collecting phenomenon.
Our proposal is less ambitious but, we hope, not irrelevant: we want to contribute to the knowledge of private collections in the Portuguese context, especially those centred around popular art and handicrafts.
The first book in this series dedicated to private collectors of popular art focuses on Felipa Almeida’s own collection, which ultimately prompted this project.
Studio visits
In constant evolution, the studio presents a selection of pieces available for sale. Visits by appointment.
