Off the Wall - Fora da Parede in Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art 21 May - 02 Oct 2011 - Museum
Between 21 May 2 and October, the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art will feature the exhibition ‘Off the Wall’, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and curated by Chrissie Iles, co-curator of the 2004 and 2006 editions of the renowned Whitney Biennial of American Art.
In twentieth century art innumerable artists have intersected genres and forms of expression, thereby reinventing the modes of artistic production. The artwork is no longer a mere painting or drawing to be hung on a wall, or a sculpture to be shown on a pedestal. The visual arts joined cinema, photography, sound experimentation and the arts of movement in new, ceaselessly redefined languages. From the famous, early twentieth century Ballets Russes to contemporary choreographers such as Merce Cunningham, Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton or Deborah Hay, those intersections have brought about an extremely rich history. The arts of space (the visual arts in the strict sense) intersect with the arts of time (the entire range of the performing arts plus those that involve the moving image).
‘Off the Wall’ brings together more than one hundred works representing performative actions ranging from 1948 to the present. Organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the exhibition is a new version of the show presented there in 2010, now enlarged with new pieces, some of which form part of the Serralves Collection. The show features works by renowned artists such as Carl Andre, John Baldessari, Jenny Holzer, Joan Jonas, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Longo, Robert Mapplethorpe, Paul McCarthy, Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, Claes Oldenburg, Dennis Oppenheim, Tony Oursler, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol, among others.
