Jorge Molder
Obras da Coleção de Serralves
Shown at the mezzanine of
the Serralves Library, this exhibition brings together works by Jorge Molder
(Lisbon, 1947) selected from a more extensive set in the Serralves Collection.
The photographs presented
belong to the series ‘T.V.’ (1995), ‘La Reine vous salue’ (2001), ‘Tangram’
(2004/08), ‘Call for Papers’ (2013) and ‘Zizi’ (2013). Molder is
mostly known for his black and white photographs, in which the artist
photographs himself (only the face, the full body or the hands) invariably
wearing a dark suit and white shirt, but this idea is countered in his two most recent
series.
References from literature,
film, music or art history, as well as from the everyday and life’s uncertain
and unpredictable nature are crucial in his oeuvre as anchor points for
drifting and constructing something. In this sense, and because the exhibition
is featured in the Library, it is complemented with bibliographic references
that are significant to the artist, including some of his books and exhibition
catalogues, which are available for public consultation.
