Jorge Molder
Event
This exhibition, shown at the mezzanine of the Serralves Library, brings together works by Jorge Molder (Lisbon, 1947) selected from a wider set of works in the Serralves collection.
The photographs presented belong to the “T. V.” (1995), “La Reine vous salue” (2001), “Tangram” (2004/08), “Call for Papers” (2013) and also “Zizi” (2013). Molder's work is known mainly for his black and white photographs, in which the artist photographs himself (only his face, full body and hands) usually wearing a dark suit and white shirt, an idea that is contradicted by his two latest series.
References from literature, film, music or art history, as well as from the everyday, life and its uncertain and unpredictable nature, are crucial in his oeuvre, as they can constitute the point from which can derive and build something. In this sense, and because the exhibition takes place in the Library, the exhibition is complemented with bibliographic references important for the artist available for consultation, including some of his books and exhibition catalogues.
