1. Curatorial ConceptThis international collective exhibition proposes an intersection between the viticultural tradition of Alenquer and contemporary creation. The project seeks not only to represent wine but to understand it as a transformative agent: from its materiality (organic pigments) to its historical and technical weight (tools and the recovery of indigenous grape varieties).The exhibition is set in the Fábrica Nova da Romeira, a space whose 19th-century industrial architecture dialogues perfectly with the concepts of process, fermentation, and artistic evolution.2. Exhibition AxesTo provide coherence to the selection of the three international artists, the proposal is divided into three lines of research:Matter: Wine as a pigment and chemical reagent on the medium.Memory: The archaeology of tools and the recovery of botanical identity (native vines).Ritual: The social and performative dimension of production and consumption.3. Activation Program (User Experience)To ensure the exhibition remains a "living organism" throughout its 8-week duration, the following schedule is proposed:ActivityDescriptionTarget AudienceVernissage & Open DayLive performance, ambient music, and wine tasting with local producers from Alenquer.General Public / Press"Art & Vine" SymposiaRound tables on the historical influence of wine on aesthetics and new sustainable techniques.Academic / ArtistsEducational ProgramPersonalized guided tours and painting workshops using grape-derived pigments.Schools / Families4. Sustainability and InnovationThe project stands out for its commitment to the local territory:Sustainability: Use of organic materials and the promotion of recovered architectural heritage.Innovation: The challenge of applying artistic techniques to a living product that evolves over time (oxidation, wine colorimetry). | |
