Join the Underdogs movement! Visit us now to explore exhibitions, public art projects, and exclusive artist editions that connect communities through creativity.
Established in 2010 and consolidated in its present form in 2013, Underdogs works with a diversified roster of Portuguese and international artists connected with the urban inspired contemporary art universe, fostering the development of close relationships between creators, the public, and the city with the aim of promoting art as an everyday experience.
Based on what the artist describes as “the chaos in which I constantly find myself and see around me”, the exhibition sets as objective the exploration of that vertigo of excess and saturation which characterises life in contemporary urban societies, setting out from his personal visual universe to create reflections and manipulation games where the author himself determines what information he wants to reveal or omit.
According to the artist's statement: “The feeling of excess of information in the brain which makes it impossible to focus on one task alone, the idea that we're never satisfied making us therefore accumulate, the visual pollution to which we submit ourselves without questioning, are notions I address in the works created for the exhibition.”
The exhibition will also be accompanied by the release of an exclusive, limited-edition work and an intervention at Village Underground in Lisbon with the support of one of its partners Amorim/Gyptec – details to be announced soon.
