Lá fora um lugar para existir/Abroad a place where to exist

A exposição “Artistas Portugueses - Lá Fora” pretende mostrar uma parte significativa da produção de artes plásticas que resultou de processos de migração que tiveram origem em território português. Integra uma multiplicidade de situações temporais e sociais que, para serem lidas, necessitam de alguma contextualização. Trata-se, tal como no caso da emigração económica, de uma emigração de sobrevivência, sendo que aqui o sentido do termo sobrevivência assume uma dimensão mais existencial. Para elas, partir quer dizer, ao mesmo tempo, resistir enquanto ser humano e existir enquanto criador. The exhibition “ABROAD” aims to show a significant part of the Fine Arts production resulting from migration procedures starting from the Portuguese territory. It comprises multiple periods of time and social situations which, in order to be comprehended, need to be contextualized. This is, just like in the case of economic emigration, an emigration for survival even if in this context the meaning of the Word survival assumes an existential dimension. For those people to leave means, simultaneously, to resist as a human being and to exist as a creator.

O Mosteiro de Sta. Maria da Vitória e a vocação moralizante das gárgulas do panteão duartino

The Portuguese monument called Batalha’s monastery has occupied an important place in Art History especially the unfinished chapels destined to be the Pantheon of the King D. Duarte. There we observe some interesting gargoyles, moral representations as an approach to the late medieval imaginary in the national context, but also common with the thoughts of King D. Duarte. Gargoyles mirrored the daily life of medieval men and women and displayed the confrontation between the religious and the social spheres by criticizing the behaviour of the sinful body, taking on an important educational role amongst audiences. This article aims to understand the moral sense and sexual behaviour that can observe in these gargoyles and its relation with the book Leal Conselheiro, written by D. Duarte some decades before.
