PLAYFULL GHOST

THE CGD COLLECTION

Curator: Bruno Marchand

Conceived as part of the celebration of Culturgest's thirtieth anniversary, the exhibition Fantasma Gaiata proposes two distinct approaches to Caixa Geral de Depósitos' contemporary art collection. Like the two hemispheres of a brain, each approach specialises in certain functions and skills. Fantasma (Ghost) is dedicated to one of sculpture's great ambitions: to erect bodies that signify and endure, that defy time, death and oblivion. If the artist's body is permanently invoked as author, manufacturer, mirror or spectre, the visitor's is summoned as measure, vehicle, witness – the place of all meaning. For its part, Gaiata (Playful) is an amusement park, a playground inhabited by fleeting conversations, alliances and challenges. Some groups of works gather around common interests, while others provoke and react to each other, deeply invested in the game but unaware of the results.
