This exhibition brings together works by 18 contemporary artists and casts from the collection of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon. It takes a close look at casting, and the role it plays not only in sculpture, but also in many aspects of the everyday world.
These artists have been chosen because they are fascinated by casting, and what it allows them to do. The exhibition is multi-layered, with no fixed narrative. Instead viewers will find endless links between old and new, centreing above all on the concepts of reproduction, variation, seriality, scale and commemoration.
