A unique collective exhibition exploring the theme of camouflage is set to open on May 27 at the Hospital Júlio de Matos in Lisbon. Titled Camouflage, this exhibition, organized by P28 — Associação para o Desenvolvimento Criativo e Artístico, brings together contemporary Portuguese and international artists to delve into the multifaceted concept of becoming invisible.
Highlights of the exhibition include works by renowned artists such as Gabriela Albergaria, José Almeida Pereira, Manuel Botelho, Miguel Palma, Pedro Valdez Cardoso, and Stella Kaus. The show also features historical figures like Abbott Thayer and Roland Penrose, alongside contemporary icons Andy Warhol and Christo.
Curated by Katherine Sirois and Lourenço Egreja, the exhibition examines camouflage as a natural, cultural, defensive, and offensive phenomenon. Sirois notes, "It's about blending in and merging with the background," highlighting how camouflage has shifted visual arts' representation codes.
The project will extend to Casa D’Avenida in Setúbal from November 15 to January 2026, introducing new works and artists. Additional events include a conference by French sculptor Patrice Alexandre on May 29 and serigraphy workshops led by Lucas Almeida on May 31 and June 14.
A closing party on July 5 will feature a surprise performance curated by Galeria Ana Lama, promising an immersive and provocative experience that intertwines art, history, and social critique.
