The role and the history of art galleries in Porto, on show at BMAG

This 17th December, Porto Municipal Gallery inaugurates the exhibition “Que horas são que horas: uma galeria de histórias”, curated by José Maia, Paula Parente Pinto and Paulo Mendes. The exhibit pictures the role that a Municipal Gallery must play in the city.

The previous opening date for the exhibit was 5th December, but owing to constraint related to the pandemic, such as assembly reasons, it had to be postponed.

The Municipal Gallery will continue its regular programme that includes exhibitions and events devoted to contemporary art, so as to promote awareness on the current artistic tendencies and boost the debate on contemporaneity trough art.

These exhibits are an excellent opportunity to build new cultural connections between Portugal, Israel, Latvia and Brazil, just to mention a few.

Also on display at Porto Municipal Gallery as of 4th December is the exhibit “Nets of Hyphae”, by Diana Policarpo, and curated by Stefanie Hessler, director of the Kunsthall Trondheim, the Norwegian Gallery that co-produces this project.

Both exhibits are on show at Porto Municipal Gallery until 14th February. Entrance is free, but subject to a maximum number of 30 visitors. All health guidelines issued by the DGS are in place, thus protecting both staff and visitors.
