Serralves Collection - Z茅ro De Conduite
The exhibition will present works by Portuguese and international artists from different generations represented in the Serralves Collection. The title is the same as that of the 1933 film by French director Jean Vigo (Paris, France, 1905-1934) in which four boys, in a repressive boarding school, with very strict rules of behaviour, decide to revolt against the school鈥檚 management.
Using a wide variety of media (painting, sculpture, photography, posters, artist鈥檚 books, installations, films and videos), the exhibition guides us through iconoclasm, through total disrespect for the rules of good taste, good behaviour and doing the right thing, through the attack on all the figures of authority that has indelibly marked the art from the last 60 years.
The strategies applied by these artists include shameless appropriation, the link between marginal universes and art (and marginal figures, on the fringes of society), the use of violence and accidents, the claim of amateurism, of anti-virtuosity.
