“Returning Home” exhibits a set of works from the Serralves Foundation's Collection, specifically selected by the manner in which they question the domestic space, on the basis of mythologies of day-to-day life that describe or subvert this space.
The works on display in the Serralves Villa include paintings, photographs, sculptures, videos and installations, chosen for the dialogue or confrontation that they provide.
This “return to the Serralves Villa” addresses a wide array of themes ? ranging from the house as a place of shelter to architecture as the intersection between public and private discourses, the relationship between the interior and exterior, and the individual projection of each work in the correlation of the multiple stories associated with a joint presentation. The selected works thereby gain new possibilities of discovery and interpretation in the context of the relations that they establish with the exhibition space.
