Description

BoCA – Bienal de Artes Contemporâneas launches its first publication, marking a significant moment in its ten years of activity. This editorial project celebrates the biennial’s trajectory, proposing a reflection on transdisciplinarity in artistic practices in Portugal. The book is structured along two main axes: on the one hand, it revisits BoCA’s previous editions, outlining a panorama that covers the project’s past, present and future, and on the other, it promotes a wide-ranging debate around contemporary themes. As well as consolidating BoCA’s work, this publication opens up new perspectives for reflection on artistic creation, both nationally and internationally. The book brings together a set of commissioned texts, documentation of the creative processes of the works produced by BoCA, as well as a series of unpublished visual essays, proposing a reflection on different artistic processes and allowing the reader to discover the essence of the creative path that underpins them.
