Exhibition
CML/MUDE – Museu do Design e da Moda, Coleção Francisco Capelo
P 06 studio was invited by MUDE to design a temporary exhibition dedicated to the graphic design work of Fernando Lemos. The exhibition presents various graphic approaches created by the artist whose vision was revolutionary for his generation.
The acess to the container (Torreão Poente da Cordoaria in Lisbon), a monochromatic area from which a corridor emerges, based on graphics designed by Fernando Lemos, where the visitor is surrounded by the artist’s work.
The abundant natural light entry, through the surrounding windows, white ceilings, white walls and light gray flooring, provide the necessary neutrality to serve as a frame for the polychromy of Fernando Lemos work.
Translucent colored shapes, based on graphics designed by Fernando Lemos, were also applied to the glass, “transforming” matter into light. Just like a stained glass window.
Designing an exhibition that presents the work of an author so embracing and transversal to so many different work areas, such as painting, poetry, photography, communication design, illustration, even large-scale graphic applications in architecture, makes the diversification of exhibition solutions irresistible, turning them more interventional and disruptive.
Thus, the exhibition is defined and organized based on a large-scale reproduction, on the floor, of a graphic composition by Fernando Lemos.
The reproduction morphology generates directions, orientations and three-dimensional formalizations that result in volumes and vertical and horizontal planes, which they translate into showcases, walls, panels and other elements to support and display content.
This graphic composition, “built” by dust, deposited on the floor, aims to “record” all the movements of visitors, through the “trail” resulting from the mixing and dragging of dust, thus creating a constant “plastic” mutation of the space.
This composition is complemented with a long and sinuous “table” that works as a support for objects, communication and graphics.
Poems and words also appear printed on the walls, ceilings and beams, along the visitor’s path, from the entrance, and in the exhibition space, giving shape to Fernando Lemos’ thoughts.
In addition to this aesthetic “appropriation” of Fernando Lemos’ work, this solution also meets Chico Homem de Melo’s curatorial concept of presenting Fernando Lemos’ work as an “archipelago” composed of so many “islands”.
