The Museum as Performance returns to Serralves, transforming the Museum into a living space where body, sound, gesture, image and presence temporarily occupy galleries and other less conventional spaces. Throughout the programme, artists from different disciplines bring together performance, visual arts, dance and music, proposing new ways of seeing and inhabiting the Museum.

More than simply presenting performances within an exhibition space, the programme invites artists and audiences to explore different relationships with Serralves’ architecture, landscape and familiar uses. Works emerge in transitional spaces, unexpected locations or contexts that alter the way we see, listen and move through the Museum.

With each edition, The Museum as Performance reflects the diversity of forms that performance can take today: an ephemeral action, a sound experience, an engagement with words and theatre, an encounter between body and object, or a presence that lingers in the memory long after it has taken place.

Throughout the programme, Serralves opens itself up to a temporary yet memorable occupation, shaped by gestures, voices, sounds, movements and images. An invitation to experience the Museum differently — more intimately, more attentively and more unexpectedly.

Full programme available soon.
