Art Jameel
a seam, a surface, a hinge, or a knot
She investigates the values and ideas embedded in things as well as in vernacular traditions and craft. Over the last two years, the artist has researched postwar figures active in Venice, Milan and Turin who had a predominant role in postwar reconstruction as well as how craftsmanship traditions, associated with particular forms of knowledge and making, intersect with this history.
Accompanying Antunes’s exhibition in the Portuguese Pavilion at the fifty-eighth Venice Biennale, a seam, a surface, a hinge, or a knot features texts by Briony Fer, Suzanne Cotter, Ana Teixeira Pinto and curator João Ribas, as well as an artist’s project of approximately 20 die-cut sheets based on drawings in the archive of Egle Trincanato, an architect, writer, photographer and curator who worked in Venice.
