The Portuguese artist based in Berlin explains how the CAM building and the Collection were the starting point for the exhibition ‘Leonor Antunes. the constant inequality of leonor’s days*’.

Leonor Antunes highlights names such as the British architect Sadie Speight, wife and colleague of Leslie Martin, who participated on the architectural project for the former CAM building but was never given credit for it, and Marian Pepler, a British textile designer who collaborated with Speight.

The artist ends by relating the Mezzanine wall, left unfinished, to the people who worked on the construction of the new CAM building.

The title of the exhibition quotes a 1972 drawing by Ana Hatherly from the CAM Collection, the year Leonor Antunes was born.
