"O nevoeiro flutuante tornou o mundo inteiro cego."

O artista lituano A.BRAN equilibra o trabalho entre o comentário social e situações íntimas e pessoais que questionam os estigmas sociais e o nosso papel como indivíduo na sociedade contemporânea. A pesquisa no trabalho do artista torna-se uma exploração da vulgaridade quotidiana que frequentemente se revela mais estranha do que a ficção se não for seguida pela primeira impressão, mas sim observada mais de perto. Os seus trabalhos tornam-se documentação dessas situações específicas.

🌫 To visit until May 29th! "Fog" by A.bran at @okna_culture

🗓 07 May - 29 May 2022 | R. Igreja de Cedofeita 27, Porto

Tuesday - Sunday: 15h00 - 19h00

"The floating fog made the whole world blind."

The Lithuanian artist A.BRAN work balances between social commentary and intimate, personal situations questioning social stigmas and our role as an individual within contemporary society. The research in the artist’s work becomes an exploration of everyday commonness that often turns out to be stranger than fiction if not followed by first impression, but rather observed more closely. His works become documentation of those specific situations.

[ENGLISH BELOW]

O nevoeiro flutuante tornou o mundo inteiro cego.

O artista lituano @a.bran_ equilibra o trabalho entre o comentário social e situações íntimas e pessoais que questionam os estigmas sociais e o nosso papel como indivíduo na sociedade contemporânea. A pesquisa no trabalho do artista torna-se uma exploração da vulgaridade quotidiana que frequentemente se revela mais estranha do que a ficção se não for seguida pela primeira impressão, mas sim observada mais de perto.

As novas obras criadas para a sua exposição individual 'FOG' na Galeria OKNA exploram os certos efeitos físicos e não-físicos do esquecimento, incluindo visão desfocada, privação do repouso e nevoeiro cerebral. 

A exposição apresentará uma série de pinturas e trabalhos de cerâmica realizados entre 2019 e 2022.

📕 Just arrived! The latest issues of The Large 📕 Just arrived!

The latest issues of The Large Glass - Journal for Contemporary Art are now part of OKNA Library.

Published by Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje, North Macedonia - @msuskopje 

The Large Glass, journal for contemporary art, culture and theory act as one of the essential mediums of MoCA for the presentation, analysis and discussion of a wide range of current challenges and topics in culture, art and theory. The journal expanded on the initial ambition of the Skopje Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) to radiate new ideas and maintain the highest ethical and professional standards, but also signified a new beginning of constant reassessment through criticism and analysis of contemporary art.

✨ This week marked the 4th year anniversary of O ✨ This week marked the 4th year anniversary of OKNA. ✨ 

Since 2018, @okna_culture is highlighting East European contemporary art, emerging artists and acts as a forum for critical conversations around art and issues of social and economic justice in the region. 

✨ All of this is possible thanks to the association board, collaborators, members, friends and volunteers, both in Portugal and from abroad. ✨ 

As a non-profit organisation, established by a artists-curators-researchers collective, OKNA ((from Proto-Slavic *okъno (“window”)) is providing a continuous programming including art residencies and educational projects while researching and curating the New East.

✨ OKNa is supported by a network of contributors and a dedicated staff headquartered in Porto, Portugal. We hope to be able to continue our work and amplify the voices of our pool of artists and thinkers.
