ACTIVATION OF IMPERMANENTIA ARTIST'S BOOK
At the centre of the exhibition, Impermanentia establishes itself as the project’s conceptual axis: an artist’s book in continuous metamorphosis, composed of paintings on textile supports that unfold, disassemble, and recompose themselves. Conceived as an object for reading and contemplation, it is transformed — through the artist’s hands — at times into a double-sided painting, at others returning to its original configuration, in a gesture that foregrounds its fluid and reversible nature.
Between object and painting, the intimate and the public, the static and the performative, Impermanentia reveals itself as fully open to activation as a happening, situating itself within the tradition of artist’s books that challenge the boundaries between text, image, and object.
In this special session, Ana Malta will present the multiple possibilities of this mutating visual organism, offering a rare opportunity to witness the work’s living process: its dismantling, reconfiguration, and rebirth.
A unique moment of encounter between gesture, matter and concept — not to be missed.
