Four Elements is structured around the cosmogenic idea of the Natural Elements - that has inspired thinkers over the ages and continues to influence contemporary artistic practice in its various different areas, in particular in the visual arts. Four curators have been invited to develop an exhibition project. Each was assigned an Element - chosen randomly or perhaps otherwise: Ana Luísa Amaral - Water; Eduarda neves - Earth; Nuno Faria - Air; Pedro Faro - Fire. This is a quasi-animistic exhibition about the more or less material representation of Water, Earth, Fire and Air in the work of artists, writers and other thinkers. We propose to visit the Elements, using multiple languages, in an isolated or contaminated manner, questioning their complex manifestations in the absence or presence of human action.
