The exhibit opened Friday, 6th July 2018 and it will run till 6th January 2019, in the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art. This show also extends to the Park of the Foundation.

The display of his work was carefully defined by the artist, whose purpose was to create an itinerary through time, space, perception means and assigned significance.

The main exhibition space houses 56 scale projects, carried out or not, designed in the past 40 years, which refers to the intimate workplace of the artist, in London, where thoughts and experiment meet.

 The exhibition is curated by Suzanne Cotter and coordinated and managed by Marta Almeida de Moreira, Assistant Director of the Serralves Museum.
