10000 anos depois entre Vénus e Marte

Galeria Municipal do Porto presents 10000 anos depois entre Vénus e Marte [10000 years later between Venus and Mars], an exhibition with works from the António Cachola Collection, a leading private collection of contemporary art deposited at the Museum of Contemporary Arts of Elvas (MACE) and the National Museum of Contemporary Art – Museu do Chiado. The collection includes painting, drawing, engraving, sculpture, installation and video with a total of six hundred and fifty artworks by over one hundred Portuguese artists who began exhibiting their works publicly from the 1980 onwards. Continuing its mission to present renowned national collections of contemporary art, with this exhibition Galeria Municipal do Porto also marks the 10th anniversary of the collaboration between MACE / António Cachola Collection.

Curated by João Laia, 10000 anos depois entre Vénus e Marte includes works by artists from different generations, exhibiting for the first time a series of new acquisitions by the Collection. Borrowing its title from the 1978 album by José Cid, the exhibition speculates a dreamlike or hallucinatory territory analysing various realms of daily life by challenging seemingly stable forms of interpreting the real.
