Pensar o Monumento a partir de Jorge Vieira is an exhibition that emerges in the context of a crisis of collective representation in the public space and against the dilution of values, we recover the Monument to the Unknown Political Prisoner as a symbol of political and artistic resistance. (…)

The exhibition features 1:25 scale models made by seven students from the Sculpture Master’s programme at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon, where Jorge Vieira also taught, and with them studies, drawings and images that contribute to an understanding of a sculptor’s working process. These are potential monuments designed for today, with no specific location, but with the latency to transform and integrate into any city, town or region on the globe, in places where society allows itself to reflect and embrace the vulnerability that constitutes us and make a more humane society flourish once and for all.
