PICNIC

 

The word ‘picnic’ usually has a positive connotation. A moment. We combine the natural with the social. At this event we all collaborate, each bringing what they think will please the other.
 
An activity usually held outdoors, it gives us a sense of pause. A moment of solace from the inconstancies of our lives. Romantic or not, we are accompanied: by a person, a group, a book, nature. It's a famous habit. Ancient. A tradition for no particular reason, but never abandoned. It's a walk. It's a change of scenery. 

The ‘picnic’ exhibition by the VÊS.TRÊS collective invites you to this same encounter. A journey from Lisbon to Aljustrel in an attempt to change our routine and yours. In a performative tone, we gather strangers, friends, acquaintances and bring the snacks: attempts to remove past feelings, the creation of new realities, secrets from a broken phone, colourful falsehoods and ideas for moving on. 

Once innocent patterns, vibrant colours and democratic overlays... it is within these stimuli that VÊS.TRÊS builds a life parallel to the daily lives of the three artists. An immaterial presence that imposes itself against unfair and ‘inaccessible’ fronts.
