Au Sud d’aujourd’hui — Art exhibition held under the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Paris, France), presenting the work of 12 Portuguese artists, in an attempt of mapping the Portuguese contemporary artistic creation. The design illustrates the mapping concept, exploring the cardinal points and playing with their positioning, as well as the rectangular shape of Portugal.
The French Delegation of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation celebrates 50 years of activity and presents the exhibition Au Sud d’Aujourd’hui which gives a voice to a young generation of Portuguese artists.
