Guided tour of the exhibition KEEPING TALE OF CURRENT TIMES | JEAN-LUC GODARD - VISUAL WORK, by Bernardo Pinto de Almeida, poet and essayist.
This exhibition, the first to look at Jean-Luc Godard's career as a creator of still images from his childhood until 2022, presents a significant range of the director's visual works, from paintings to notebooks, from sketches to digital images, the vast majority of them unpublished. Starting with a proposal in one of his last films - Film annonce du film ‘Drôles de Guerres’ (2023) - this exhibition demonstrates that Godard's artistic reach extends absolutely to other artistic forms, such as painting, as well as his early involvement with these and other forms of artistic expression, in an eclectic corpus that anticipates various filmmaking strategies, namely the use of collage (later reworked with montage techniques) and quotation.
For this visit, the poet and essayist Bernardo Pinto de Almeida will take us through the several formal and conceptual ideias, through the numerous artistic collections that this exhibition brings together and presents for the first time.
