MAY 17 TO SEPTEMBER 21
INTERVALO

Since the mid-1990s, the work of Alexandre Estrela (Lisbon, 1971) has stood out for its original and idiosyncratic way of blending and layering a wide range of fields, themes, and references—from installation and drawing to moving image. Among his recent solo exhibitions, Flat Bells at MoMA: Museum of Modern Art (New York), 2024, is particularly noteworthy. The artist has also taken part in numerous group exhibitions at institutions and biennials, and together with Ana Baliza, curates farO, a Lisbon-based project space that brings together a community of artists.
Following the “naturalist” approach of Nature Bores the Monster (2024), an exhibition at Culturgest (Lisbon), Alexandre Estrela presents at CIAJG the second part of a triptych—a kind of interlude that engages with animation and cartoon aesthetics. In INTERVALO, Estrela explores the exhibition itself as a medium, transforming CIAJG’s galleries into a meticulously orchestrated experience. Visitors are led through a spectral and technical choreography, experiencing the gallery as a living, unfolding, and ever-evolving space. The collection of works on view finds its structural foundations—its “skeletons”—in drawing and painting, giving rise to digital apparitions or “ghosts” that echo the primordial rhythms of multicellular life.
