Kunst-Station Sankt Peter in Cologne is please to announce exhibition Gleichzeitig / At the same time, by Luísa Jacinto, curated by Guido Schlimbach.
Opening April 18, 2026
During the Easter period, the Kunst-Station Sankt Peter presents an exhibition by the Portuguese artist Luísa Jacinto (b. 1984). She uses various materials such as thread, fabric, metal, spray paint, watercolour, loose pigments and rubber membrane. For the church interior, which Jacinto first visited and explored ten years ago, she has created a fluid work specific to the space, revealing an increasingly blurred boundary between painting, sculpture and installation. In “gleich-zeitig”, Luísa Jacinto invites the audience to engage in a play of observation, perception and attention in order to explore new frontiers of seeing.
This exhibition is generously supported by DGArtes - República Portuguesa.

SPA Best Exhibition Visual Arts 2024 Prize
Shinning Indifference, solo exhibition of Luísa Jacinto curated by João Pinharanda at MAAT Museum won the prize for Best Visual Arts Exhibition by SPAutores.
In Mi sombra es tuya / My shadow is yours, Luísa Jacinto presents a constellation of work that questions space, rhythm, and weight as essential attributes of painting beyond its traditional boundaries. Through her practice, Jacinto actively dismantles the presumed stability of painting's surface, revealing instead a medium in constant flux and transformation.
The exhibition brings together for the first time three distinct yet interconnected bodies of work: the skin-paintings of Strangers series, with their vulnerable membrane-like surfaces; the net-paintings of Work in Space, resembling ossified webs suspended between dimensions; and the screen-paintings of I was never, which fragment and multiply the act of seeing itself. Each work embodies not only the unfathomable osmosis of colour but also bears witness to the artist's tenacious gesture of cutting—a deliberate rupture that becomes generative rather than destructive.
Across all media in Jacinto's practice, a delicate balance emerges between a pictorial and a filmic logic. This duality permits the artist to traverse temporal moments of ambiguous perceptual experience. Her work engages with image protocols, narrative fragmentation and simulation, the excess of evidence and obfuscation.

So Many Names at Córtex Frontal, Arraiolos, Portugal
So Many Names Luísa Jacinto
Curated by Miguel Mesquita
First presentation Córtex Frontal - 7th June, 6pm 10th and 11th June by appointment: +351 915397439
So Many Names proposes a sensory and temporal reflection on the way we observe, read and inhabit painting. Conceived as an installation object, the work articulates the ideas of book, landscape and body to suggest different relational forms with painting, here understood not only as an image, but as a substance that twists, expands and unfolds in space and rhythm indistinctly.
With four moments of presentation and fragmentation as a procedural logic, the project takes on variable morphologies that stem from the characteristics of each exhibition space that hosts it, opening itself up to a multiplicity of readings and narratives.
So Many Names evokes corporeality as a means of constructing meaning and seeks to cultivate a living relationship between the work, the space and the observer - a constantly questioned skin of the world.

Concrete drawings for uncertain futures

Group Show
Arquipélago Collection - A trilogy of exhibitions
Jun- Sept 2023
Curated by João Mourão
Concrete drawings for uncertain futures is the first of a trilogy of exhibitions that Arquipélago - Contemporary Arts Center will inaugurate over the next three months, with works from its collection.
This exhibition raises questions to reflect on the role of a discipline such as drawing in the globalized discourses of contemporary art of our times.
The exponential growth of technological mediation means that the vast majority of our interactions with the outside world, and even with our personal and subjective worlds, are almost exclusively perceived through a screen. Reality has become what is visible and shared in the small black glass rectangles we hold in our hands and keep in our pockets. Contemporary art has incorporated this change in the way we understand-the world today: sophisticatedly technological artworks are now the norm in museums, galleries, biennials, and art fairs around the world.
Does this mean that artworks unmediated by technology have lost their place in contemporary societies? Are they just testimonies of an analog past voted to abandonment and oblivion?

WIRELESS is a cycle of thematic artist residencies, designed by Córtex Frontal - Residências e Oficinas, aimed to visual artists interested in learning or deepening knowledge in textile techniques such as: Embroidery, Weaving, Stamping and Dyeing. WIRELESS wants to encourage visual artists to learn and to incorporate the “textile language” in their artistic practice, understanding it in an expanded way without necessarily contemplating the use of wires, hence the name wireless. WIRELESS have place in Arraiolos, a town where rugs are hand embroidered since the middle age, located in Alentejo, one of the least-populated regions in western Europe. WIRELESS wants to create an artists web without wires, borders and cultural barriers. In this first edition WIRELESS invited 21 artists to participate in the residencies in 2022 and to join an itinerary group exhibition in 2023.

Painting without end / Pintura sem fim
Driving, 2014
oil on canvas, 80 × 100 cm
Collective exhibition at Brotéria, Lisbon
Painting without end wants to celebrate an encounter of different practices of this artistic discipline. It brings together works of painting executed on canvas, its traditional pictorial support. Since the 15th century, with the development of portable painting, the canvas translates a unique materiality as an element of great condensation and culture dissemination.
Revisiting, ironically, the typical exhibition modes of the Salon de peinture et de sculpture in late 17th century Paris, painting, as an irrevocable and infinite element, is brought together in the times and geographies of the visual arts. Pintura sem fim brings to the surface, in Jackson Pollock's formulation, the "energies, movements and other inner forms" of painting today, among a selection of exemplary elements of the most diverse varieties and provenances.

The artist will have a 3-month artistic residence at the Residency Unlimited, in New York, between September and November 2022.

No One Knows – Book launch
This is the first book edited by AiR 351, devoted to our first local artist in residence, Luísa Jacinto.
This publication was made possible due to an intense exchange experience with the artist along the residency and beyond, to the vision ofAna Luísa Bouza, the collaboration with stolen books, the partnership with Artworks, the support from Direcção Geral das Artes and the involvement of Galeria Quadrado Azul. Last but not the least, we express our gratitude to the authors of the texts and essays: João Pinharanda, Miguel Mesquita, Marta Mestre and Lauren Moya Ford.
Join us on May 13. Brotéria kindly welcomes this event. Luiza Teixeira de Freitas will lead the conversation with the artist.
Encouraged by Brotéria to choose an artist to work with and prepare an exhibition, Luísa Jacinto invites Isa Melsheimer. The two artists meet in Lisbon, in the context of an artistic residency, to explore together the joint correspondences in their artistic paths.
