Noé Sendas lives and works in Berlin, Madrid and Lisboa. Sendas began presenting his work in the late Nineties. Explicit and implicit references to artists and literary, cinematic or musical creations are part of his raw materials. Specific concerns about the reflection and practice of visual arts can also be added to his repertoire. These include: the body, as an entity that is simultaneously theoretical and material; the observer’s perception mechanisms; or the discursive and political potential of exhibition methods.
His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including:
Akademie der Kunst, Berlin; CAV Centro de Artes Visuais, Coimbra, PRT; CAM - Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, Lisboa; Casa de América, Madrid, ESP; Centro Municipal de Arte Hélio Oiticica, Rio de Janeiro, BRA; Contretype - Centre d'art pour l'image et la photographie contemporaine, Bruxelles; C/O Berlin, Berlin; Designhaus Darmstadt, Darmstadt, DEU; Frankendael Foundation, Amsterdam; Fundación Ibercaja Patio de la Infanta, Zaragoza, ESP; Fundación Botín, Sala de Exposiciones, Santander, ESP; Galeria Municipal do Porto, Porto, PRT; Goethe-Institut, Stockholm; Hermitage, São Petersburgo, RUS; Kunstmuseum Bonn, DEU; Laboratorio Arte Alameda (LAA), ciudad de México; Le Plateau, Paris; MAAT Museu de Arte, Lisboa; MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo, ESP; MEIAC Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo, Badajoz, ESP; MNAC Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea-Museu do Chiado, Lisboa; Multimedia Art Museum (MAMM), Moscow; Museo Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa; Museu de Arte Contemporâneo Gas Natural Fenosa, La Coruña, ESP; Museu ICO, Madrid; Museo Patio Herreriano de Arte Contemporáneo Español de Valladolid, ESP; TENT, Rotterdam, NLD; Visual Arts Center - The University of Texas at Austin, USA; Yerba Buena Center of the Arts, San Francisco, USA, (Et al.)
