Scenography of the exhibition “Paula Rego. There and back again” curated by Adam Budak and Alistair Hicks.
The aim of the scenography is to emphasize on the contemporaneity of Paula Rego’s work as well as to echo the violence of the world she describes. Walls to hang her paintings have been designed with protruding parts, giving them a grotesque appearance resembling the grotesque figures of the artist. Their wrapping with thermo-retractable white film, with it stretched and wrinkled parts, give a sense of both tension and sensuality.

Scenography for the exhibition Extravaillance, curated by Alain Damasio
The scenography proposes five work s(i)t(u)ations occupying the 850 m2 of the exhibition space. These five stages borrow their aesthetic from two fundamental components of standardised spaces in the commercial sector: false ceilings and carpets. Proposing a new definition of the horizontal limits of pre-existing space, the combination of these two materials makes it possible to define several environments without partitioning them.
