Sinopse

Nobody's Home, propose an aesthetic trip to an everyday object that goes unnoticed. Intend to contribute to the appreciation and rediscovery of the doorbells that exist in the entrances of new, old, and abandoned houses and buildings, and which, discreet in their
function, are or have always been an essential part of the beginning of something.
This photographic record aims to be a repository of the beauty with the intention of confronting the old models with the modernized and standard models, as well as recovering from our memories the ringtones that used to leave us suspended, on the doorstep, waiting for a response.

Synopsis

The collection “We, The Family” shows us images that reflect family moments in which complicity goes hand in hand with light, color, and framing. Whether they are family portraits or discreet observations of a newborn, the “lens” always gives us a story. Not necessarily a beautiful one, a bedtime story or a fairy tale, but certainly a story that was lived, in which every moment is a unique moment that deserves
to be eternalized. The collection offers, through the eyes of different carefully selected photographers, different approaches to the theme “family”, centered mainly on childhood, both in places of daily living and in unexpected incursions into places of regular or occasional passage.

Synopsis

The collection “One City. One Name” shows us the world and its cities through the eyes of several photographers with different approaches and visual languages. It intends to be a show of unique visions that reflect not only the city and its inhabitants, but also the personality of the one who observes and captures them in an image. The personal and professional background of each of these photographers influences their vision and shapes the books, showing the cities in a non-traditional way, without tourist or more obvious clichés. The approach may be critical or compliant, but it is never ordinary, and it will help us look at different places in an exclusive way. These are world travels in the arms of beauty and uniqueness.

No color? No Fun

No color? No Fun

Tiago Galo

 

Synopsis

The collection “No Color? No Fun” is a tribute to contemporary illustration with a special focus on the use of color as a key element of the illustrated object. Color, for these artists, is not merely a secondary observer, but rather a leading actor that is strongly present. It partners
with the traits that create characters, frames, and landscapes. Color does not exist in a disguised way, and it helps to create differentiation, to convey fun and drama. High contrast and reduced palettes are not impediments to showing personality and uniqueness. We hope that you find on this set of pages and authors the values that we consider fundamental for a good illustration: technique, surprise, and beauty.

Curadoria e Coordenação: Cláudia Ramos

Textos: Celso Martins, Cláudia Ramos, Luísa Santos, Maria do Mar Fazenda, Sara Antónia Matos, Administração Baía do Tejo SA

Sinopse

O projeto permitiu a expressão de diversas disciplinas e práticas artísticas, patente ao público numa exposição que abriu à comunidade espaços que habitualmente se encontram inacessíveis, potenciando a transformação do território numa plataforma de processos artísticos.

da fábrica que desvanece à baía do tejo é um rizoma, um projeto que abarca diferentes camadas e que se desenhou sobre a forma de uma residência artística, uma exposição e um projeto editorial. A nomeação desta estrutura rizomática alude a Francisco de Holanda, que publicou em 1571 Da Fábrica que Falece à Cidade de Lisboa, um tratado de urbanismo que pensa a malha urbana e tece propostas de ordenamento do território. Aqui, interessa-nos esse mesmo movimento, o de delimitar um campo de ação e de confluência traçando sobre o mesmo novas proposições, privilegiando os processos de criação e de investigação para a produção de novos discursos e de pensamento.
[...]
A presente publicação é o último capítulo deste projeto, e não só assume a importante missão de documentar aquilo que fora a instalação compósita na Baía do Tejo, como potencia o encontro entre artistas e autores resultando em mais um espaço de discurso, e configurando-se, também, como um espaço de criação, apresentando cinco novos trabalhos, em diálogo com o lugar, com os quais iniciamos o caminho neste fólio.

Synopsis

Send me Letters is a photographic record of the beauty found on the doors of houses still displaying letterboxes embossed with the word "CARTAS", awakening in us reminiscenses of a time gone by - when feelings wew conveyed on paper. Of a time when each word had its own particular meaning and written letters were valuable simply by existing.

Luís Leal Miranda

Synopsis

Language is a constantly changing process. For some reason, because of stubbornness, because we are boring, squares or simply because of the original ways we were shocked by the new, we are naturally averse to changes in the dictionary. Language changes, oral and written, and with it words. It hurts, but there's no harm in it. We need new words for new maladies, mundane needs and tasks that are complicated to explain. It was with this in mind that Luís Leal Miranda created the New Words New, a Tumblr / Facebook page, which was growing with these new words and this year gave shape to the "Dictionary of the Portuguese Language". Luís Leal Miranda did not stop there and created a publishing house along with La Lavandaria.

Livraria Plutão was born, with two books that provide more solutions for words, their meanings, letters and their symbology. They are almost objects of art, the work of Luís and Lavandaria goes beyond the mere resort of entertainment, fun or simple wordplay. Both in "New Contemporary Portuguese Alphabet" and "The Secret Alphabet Letters" there are solutions to problems, resources to think about what we say, think and see. And it's simple, like the best good things. And it is good to realize what a "lake of earth" is.

Synopsis

Born and raised in the Almanaque magazine, this Divertimento com Sinais Ortográficos arises from the "treasure chest" of the designer Sebastião Rodrigues, when Alexandre O'Neill opened his ear about the embarrassed silence of those typographic elements and recorded their voices. The result would be published in 1960, in the book Abandono Vigiado, with this dedication: "Sebastião Rodrigues, who had fun graphing this Divertimento (fun). To the composer and to the printers who collaborated in this book. "
