JOSÉ BARRIAS: IN ITINERE

Since the 1970s, artist José Barrias (Lisbon, 1944) has been developing a body of work where fragments of visual narratives provide the articulation of an intimate memory with a memory of places and History. ‘In Itinere’ is an exhibition prepared for the Serralves Museum over a period of several years. Constructed as an itinerary, the show constitutes the time and place of a double return for the artist: the return to the country he left in 1967 to live in Paris, and then in Milan, as well as the return to Porto, a city where he lived and studied between 1950 and 1967. New cycles of works intersect with earlier pieces, such as Quase Romance [Quasi-Romance] or No Mundo [In the World], in an exhibition that is, in itself, a new work in Barrias’ trajectory.
