Opening of the Exhibition Ajax et Plures by João Paulo Feliciano

On March 8, at 7 p.m., at the Escola das Artes, the inauguration of the exhibition AJAX ET PLURES, by João Paulo Feliciano, will take place, an initiative within the scope of the adhesion of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa as a founding member of the Serralves Foundation.

The exhibition presents a set of works from the 1990s and 2000s belonging to the Serralves Collection and a new work conceived for the campus of the Porto Regional Centre of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa. The artist intervenes on the windows of the corridor of the Escola das Artes, continuing a series of site-specific works that he conceived in 2004 for the buildings of the Serralves Museum and the São Paulo Biennial.
