Works from the CAM at the MU.SA
Held to mark the 25th anniversary of Sintra’s inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List of Cultural Landscapes, the exhibition No Reino das Nuvens: os Artistas e a Invenção de Sintra [In the Kingdom of the Clouds: Artists and the Invention of Sintra], which is being hosted by the Sintra Museum of the Arts, seeks to celebrate this region, which has always attracted artists and fed their creativity.
Organised into sections, the selected pieces, from the Sintra Municipal Art Collection, as well as the collections of municipal and national museums and contemporary artists, explore the relationship between artists and Sintra and includes works of art, archaeological objects and literature connected to the region.
The Modern Art Centre is collaborating on this project by lending four works on paper, three paintings and two photographs, by Mily Possoz, Bernardo Marques, António Dacosta, Thomas Joshua Cooper, Michael Biberstein, Daniel Blaufuks and João Louro. Some of these works are directly related to the municipality of Sintra, depicting landscapes from the area.
Curated by Victor dos Reis, the exhibition can be visited from 27 May 2021.
