In such a broad and diversified field as that of the Visual Arts, with its constant paradigm shifts and forever changing creative concepts, Bloco103 | Contemporary Art is always on the lookout for artists and projects that construct their own identity, covering distinct technical areas and different processes for the realisation of artworks.
Bloco103 | Contemporary Art opened as a gallery towards the end of 2011, its aim being to uncover artists who follow their own distinctive path, whether engaging in gesturalism, performative intervention or figuration. It is these acts and their coherence that express and amplify their meaning. And it is here that the power of art truly lies. Established and emerging artists rub shoulders with one another in the gallery’s programme.
Located in the centre of Lisbon, opposite the prestigious Hotel Ritz, the gallery has four spaces with a contemporary design, produced by the architects João Navas and Fernando Reis Martins.
The aim of Bloco103 | Contemporary Art is to promote its artists internationally, setting up partnerships with European galleries, participating in international fairs and channelling its activity into ever wider and more promising areas
