From January 19th to February 19th, 2023, the Municipal Gallery of Porto presents Derivas e Criaturas — New Acquisitions from the Municipal Collection of Art, featuring works by Ani Schulze, Estefanía Landesmann and Marlon de Azambuja.
More than thirty artworks will occupy the two floors of the Galeria Municipal do Porto during Derivas e Criaturas, the first exhibition of the Aquisições project, which aims to dynamize the Municipal Art Collection and enhance the artistic heritage of Porto through an annual programme of artwork acquisitions.
The selection of the pieces was in charge of the committee of the 2022 edition of the Aquisições project, composed by the curators Andreia Magalhães, Margarida Mendes and Melissa Rodrigues, who evaluated not only proposals directly submitted by artists and collectives of the city, but also works in context of the city's commercial galleries, during the past year.
