Research Catalogue

Since the first solo show in 1993, On(e) Painting, held at Galeria Quadrum gallery, Joao Felino has been presenting an extensive group of projects in an ongoing research driven by diverse media, with a strong emphasis on text based works. A body of work strongly rooted on an historical and conceptual framework that takes art also as a problematic category from its creation and presentation to its reception.

Group Show at Jack presents, is the one that best describes and summarizes basically in its title the work process and methodology on the context of art practice from all forms of representation, artistic but also political, social and scientific. A survey on how an artist working with photography today, for instance, responds to those issues that are specific to photographic processes, even through other media, from the stages of production and execution to those of reception and consumption, expanding the scope of art production and suggesting reflexive insights about the complexity of images and how they are conceived, produced and disseminated.
