Location

Engawa Space Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian
Francisco Trêpa and the curators of the Ball Gall exhibition create three different moments of contact with the exhibition: two tours and a performance tour.

Francisco Trêpa extends his studio into the Engawa Space with a choreography of sculptures in transformation, inspired by CAM’s Garden.

Francisco Trêpa’s (Lisbon, 1995) artistic practice explores the interconnections between life forms, metamorphosis, and hybridism. Gall Ball is inspired by the observation of galls found in CAM’s Garden, where the artist first encountered these biological reactions resulting from interactions between plants (such as oaks) and external agents (such as wasps). The effect is a swelling growth on the outside of the plant, providing nutrition and shelter to induce insects.

The tour will be followed by the performance The Last Dance, with Ely Janoville (Paraíba, Brazil, 1993).
