This big exhibition dedicated to the oeuvre by Louise Bourgeois (Paris, 1911, New York, 2010) spans seven decades, showing works made by the artist between the late 1940s and 2010. Visited and revisited in countless exhibitions held over the past decades in various museum spaces around the world, Louise Bourgeois’ vast and unique body of work deals with themes indelibly associated with experiences and traumatic events of her childhood - family, sexuality, body, death and the unconscious - which the artist treated and exorcised through her art. This exhibition is organised by the Serralves Foundation - Museum of Contemporary Art and the Glenstone Museum, Potomac, Maryland, USA, in collaboration with The Easton Foundation, New York, and co-produced with the Voorlinden Museum & Gardens, Wassenaar, Netherlands. To Unravel a Torment is curated by Emily Wei Rales, Director and co-founder of the Glenstone Museum. At Serralves, the exhibition was organised by Philippe Vergne, Director of the Museum, with Paula Fernandes, Curator. This exhibition was generously supported by Hauser & Wirth Gallery.

"If someone were to ask me what the five most beautiful days of my life have been, that day with Giacometti's sculptures would be certainly in the top three". This is how Peter Lindbergh described the day he was invited to photograph Alberto Giacometti's art collection at the artist's Foundation in Paris. From the outcome of this encounter emerged a joint exhibition, of Giacometti's sculptures and Lindbergh's photographs. It is this exhibition that now arrives at MMIPO – Museu e Igreja da Misericórdia do Porto. So far, this joint exhibition has only been exhibited at the Giacometti Institute in Paris. It is an intimate dialogue between the work of Alberto Giacometti (1901 - 1966), one of the most acclaimed sculptors of the 20th century and the photography of Peter Lindbergh, which reveals a notable similarity in the way they represent reality. This initiative is also a tribute to the legendary fashion photographer who died prematurely in September 2019 and who was fully involved in the process of bringing the exhibition to Porto. The exhibition comprises more than 110 works, including bronze sculptures and drawings by Alberto Giacometti, as well as photographs by Peter Lindbergh. In an exclusive room, some of the most iconic portraits by the fashion photographer will be on display, including those featuring Naomi Campbell, Uma Thurman and Julianne Moore.

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.

Livraria Lello inaugurated an "unprecedented" project with Time magazine, which highlights authors awarded by the Swedish academy who were the cover of the North American magazine. The art installation "Livraria Lello X Time: What Makes a Nobel?", by Time's creative director, D.W. Pine, highlights authors who received the Nobel, but also others who "deserved front cover honours" of Time because of "their value ‘nobelizable’ of its literature". The installation is made up of 12 panels, which feature the covers of Time magazine, from Rudyard Kipling, one of the first Nobel laureates in Literature, to Toni Morrison, awarded by the Swedish Academy in 1993, as well as other authors who were featured on the cover, such as Virginia Woolf and William Shakespeare.

Ai Weiwei (Beijing, 1957) is a global citizen, artist, thinker and activist who uses various modes of investigation and production in his work, depending on the direction and outcome of the research he currently has in hands. From iconoclastic positions in regard to authority and history — which included the triptych Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, 1995, and a series of photographs entitled Study of Perspective, (1995 - 2011), in which he shows the middle finger to symbols of power — his output has diversified to encompass architecture, public art and performance. In addition to concerns of form and protest, Ai Weiwei currently measures our existence according to the relation to economic, political, natural, and social forces, uniting craftsmanship with conceptual creativity. Universal symbols of humanity and community, such as bicycles, flowers or trees, as well as the perennial problems of borders and conflicts are reformulated and enhanced through installations, sculptures, films and photographs, while continuing to speak out publicly on issues he believes important. He is one of the most prominent cultural figures of his generation and an example of freedom of expression, both in China and internationally. The works on display — Iron Roots (2019) and Pequi Tree (2018 - 2020) — are part of a body of work that reflects Ai Weiwei's interest and concern with the environment and, more specifically, with the deforestation of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The exhibition in Serralves was conceived specifically for the park and for the Museum's central room.

Museu da Cidade opens the exhibition “Errata – Uma Revisão Feminista à História do Design Gráfico Português”. Curated by Isabel Duarte and Olinda Martins, the show can be visited in the Foyer of the Auditorium of the Almeida Garrett Municipal Library. This exhibition seeks to review the role of women in the history of design. A research project in development that aims to respond to this “forgetfulness” through publications, podcasts and public presentations. The exhibition will present the work of 20th century female designers who were left out of the history of Portuguese design and, in doing so, will cast a critical eye on the mechanisms still present that allow and propagate these omissions. From the collection, documentation and presentation of the work of female graphic designers, the exhibition will show women who were overlooked in the history of design. An “errata” (erratum) to correct an omission present in the history of Design.
