Lucid Reverie – Panorama of Portuguese Contemporary Art

Lucid Reverie is a publication based on the eponymous exhibition, reflecting the diversity and vitality of contemporary artistic production in Portugal. The book provides an overview of a variety of artistic practices, reaffirming the Galeria Municipal do Porto’s commitment to promoting Portuguese art on an international scale.

Lucid Reverie – Panorama of Portuguese Contemporary Art is the result of a year-and-a-half-long research by international curators Hiuwai Chu and Raphael Fonseca. The exhibition and publication presents a map of some of the most relevant artistic practices in Portugal today while also providing a tool for their internationalisation, encompassing sculpture and painting, as well as photography, moving image and text, through a selection of 20 artists/duos from different generations.
