Água Mole em Pedra Dura by Eduardo Malé, and curated by Ricardo Barbosa Vicente is in The Water Museum – EPAL (Barbadinhos Steam Pumping Station) .This exhibition brings together sculpture, drawing, painting, and installation, unveiling an ongoing inquiry into water as material, symbolic, and sensorial force.
Departing from the notion that water reshapes the world through persistence, Malé proposes an understanding of the artistic gesture as a process of attunement, repetition, and displacement. Water traverses the works as substance, metaphor, rhythm, and memory, bringing materials and bodies into proximity and exposing the inherent instability that constitutes us.
The exhibition path also includes an immersive soundscape featuring recordings of São Tomé rain and the subtle murmurs of the artist’s gestures, deepening an experience that entwines vision, tactility, scent, listening, and imagination.Visitors are invited to move through an open cartography in which each line and each form heralds movement. -

“Thus, too, operates Eduardo Malé—through repetition, through attentive listening, and through the gesture that, in persisting, shifts the world. (…) Visitors find themselves within a terrain where looking, touching, smelling, hearing, and imagining become inseparable acts, enveloped by the dense sound of São Tomé rain and by the murmuring of gestures that traverse the space.”
