André Príncipe captures a world that is universally human and highly personal, using a diaristic approach in photography and exploring its capacity to think about life. Rooted on documentary tradition in photography, his work develops a freshness and immediacy in depicting reality and as Jack Bartok stated a more like a "carousel with images popping and flashing before our eyes licensing our desires and matter of fact daily routines." André Príncipe's portrayed characters are bodies trapped in reality.

“The overall effect of Bornhauser’s practice (…) is to remind us of the way in which colour can echo, not only from one image to another, but from one place, or one moment in time, to another. Colour as subject-matter, or rather, colour as a means of producing photographic representations of the real world that surpass the sum of their parts, becomes a kind of psychological projection into or onto the everyday. In a sense this is why Bornhauser has so much in common with writers like Hammett, painters like Henri Matisse, or theorists like Gaston Bachelard, each of whom were sensitive to colour in their own unique and personal way. More in common, one could say, with pictorial or linguistic abstractions derived or drawn from colour, than with other photographers for whom colour is simply a technical issue to be resolved and exploited. In her most recent work, moreover, Bornhauser has sought to engage not only with colour within the visual field but in the process of producing photographs as objects in the world. From sumptuous Cibachrome prints (for many, the holy grail of colour photographic reproduction) to new experiments with moving image and printing on fabrics, Bornhauser has taken the practice of re-showing the world around us as a brighter and more beautiful place to the next level in the terms by which her images occupy space, while never straying far from the unique truths at the heart of the way that only she sees things."

March 2020. This quarantine journal explores my confinement in Paris, reinventing every day objects, giving them a pictorial sense and an often abstract appearance in both spontaneous scenes and carefully constructed compositions. Immersed in my closed apartment the images are intimate, tightly framed with raw light using mostly natural window light that bounced off the walls, on to the wooden floor before finally fading away. Going over and over intimate everyday life meant I saw it differently, these images transform daily life into a strange world of contrasts; a strainer is used as a light filter to sculpt a face and plants become a sensual material casting shadows and hints of colours that create an original world.

"The work of Mónica de Miranda can be understood as an agent that continually reconnects artistic processes with the transitory condition of the spectator. Regardless of the themes she investigates, or of socio-political reflections that strap in her identity a real and emotional sense with the place and history of those who inhabit it, her works contain part of her self-referential experience but not alway autobiographical, because it is not a testimony of the journey but of someone who recognizes herself in the transition and in the territorial change." João Silvério

 

Noé Sendas

Noé Sendas (Brussels, Belgium, 1972) 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 practise 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 potential of exhibition methods.

His work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including CAV Center for the Visual Arts, Coimbra, PT; Contretype – Centre d’art contemporain pour la Photographie, Brussels.B; Porto’s Municipal Gallery, Porto, PT; Multimedia Art Museum (MAMM), Moscow; Maat Museum, Lisboa; Kunstraum Botschaft, Berlin Calouse Gulbenkian Museum, Lisboa; MEIAC Museu Extremeno e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporaneo Badajoz; C/O Berlin Foundation, Berlin; MNAC The National Museum of Contemporary Art-Museu do Chiado, Lisbon, DesignhausDarmstadt, Darmstadt, DE; VAC-Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas, Texas, USA; Patio de la Infanta - Ibercaja, Zaragoza, SP; Goethe-Institut/ Instituto Cervantes, Stockholm; TENT, Rotterdam, ND; CAHO-Centro de Artes Helio Oiticica, Río de Janeiro, BR; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Gas Natural Fenosa, La Coruña, SP; Museu Fundación ICO, Madrid.ES; Kunstmuseum Bonn, G; Akademie der Kunst, Berlin (a.o.)
