For the first time, 14 artists from Brazil and six from Portugal present work at the BADESC Cultural Foundation, in Florianópolis. The unprecedented exhibition ‘Over-the-sea: when the horizon line is not enough’, is part of international cooperation projects between the Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts (PPGAV) at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC), in Brazil , and the School of Communication, Arts, Architecture and Information Technologies of the Lusófona University of Lisbon (ECATI) and the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon (FBAUL), in Portugal. The opening will be on Thursday, January 18, 2024. Entry is free and the cocktail party starts at 7pm.
According to artist and professor Jociele Lampert, responsible for the research project and one of the exhibition’s curators, the invited artists participated in some way in the international study carried out in 2023.
“Our goal is to showcase the work of research artists/investigators to the community. These are relevant productions for the context of the rapprochement between Brazil and Portugal, in what it gives to the academic context, especially in the field of teaching painting and its reflections”, highlights Jociele, who curates alongside the artist, teacher and photographer Dani Remião and the artist and professor ph cavallari.
Participating in the exhibition ‘Beyond the sea: when the horizon line is not enough’, Brazilian artists: Clemilson Bernardes, Dani Remião, Daniela Almeida Moreira, Eduardo António, Fabio Savicki, Fabrício Garcia, Giulia Paz, Heron P Nogueira, Jociele Lampert, Larissa Antunes, Marta Facco, ph cavallari, Vera Hermano and William da Silva, and the Portuguese artists: Diana Costa, Ema M, Inês Marques, Isabel Sabino, Ivo Alexandre and Rui Macedo.

With more than 50 works, the exhibition is mainly made up of paintings, and also includes photographs, artist books, videos and an installation word game. According to the curators, the words will be displayed in the exhibition rooms of Espaço Fernando Beck, in composition with the works.
In room 1, next to the presentation text and the work of Portuguese artist Isabel Sabino, there will be the word vertigo. Room 2 will receive the words journey, poetry and allegory. In room 3, the chosen ones were passage, path and fable and in room 4, encounter, line and time.
The curators explain that these words seek poetic, thematic and conceptual approximations between the works and highlight possible horizons for the perceptions and understandings of the set. “Language is something that brings us closer or further away, that indicates possible vertigo for displacements and processes, in addition to engendering the main axis of the beyond the sea, of venturing to have the courage to go towards something that is beyond the horizon, to the unknown, which compromises our existence and, at the same time, consolidates our affections and perspectives for the future. In the same way, it generates the expectation of returning, redoing and crossing”, they share.
‘Beyond the sea: when the horizon line is not enough’ can be visited free of charge until February 29, 2024. The BADESC Cultural Foundation is located at Rua Visconde de Ouro Preto, 216, in the Center of Florianópolis/SC and visiting hours are Monday to Friday, from 1pm to 7pm.
