Florentijn Hofman
WORKSHOP + TALK
Florentijn Hofman was born in Delfzil, a city in the north of Holand, back in 1977. His work settle in something that is never forgotten in any of his works: hugeness. Humor. Sensation. Maximum impact.
Everything he does is big: is gigantic. XXL sculptures that pop up in cities from all around the world and that want their presence to be noticed. The ideas come up from daily objects, whether we’re talking about a rubber duck or a toy monkey. Shapes fascinate the artist who wants to alienate the space where sculptures are being shown. The discomfort of who is looking at it.
And, if for most artists the public’s reaction is not a concern, for Florentijn Hofman is an essential part of the job: his intention is that his art makes people smile.
Mr.THOMS
WORKSHOP + TALK
He is a grafitter, but also a writer, painter, sculptor, graphic designer, decorator, story-boarder, cartoonist, film director and illustrator. He comes from Italy. He is Mr. Thoms. His rule is distinctive, despite his versatility that enables him to adapt to whatever context that he comes across to. He’s always looking for the balance between humor and expressiveness.
UiU
INTERVENÇÃO + TALK
He is the portuguese of improvisation, of the colors of the streets and there’s only a few more things that we know about him. He hides himself behind his art, in what he leaves in the walls. He is a grafitter and his first exhibition, “Última Exposição”, was held in Museu Bernando, in Caldas da Rainha. He is currently living in Barcelona e was part of groups such as BCbruta!, Sparkl_E_motioN, the LAKE on FIRE, Full Moon Gang e Pinzat.
As a kid, he read a lot and that’s why he started Reading and it was where it all began. As time went by, he figured out a new way of writing: in walls while he is doing graffiti – a more succinct and selfless way of doing it.
Madalena Martins
WORKSHOP + TALK
Recycling and portuguese culture merge into Madalena Martins’s work. Graduated in graphic design, she’s always developed a special interest in reutilization and Portugal icons, specifically in Minho region, since she’s from Ponte de Lima.
In 2010, she won POP competition – Portuguese Original Projects – an iniciative from Serralves Museum. Thanks to POP, she entered in INSerralves and built Bicho Sete Cabeças, and enterprise that is a “swiss army knife that comes up with daily solutions with humor and creativity”. Her work includes object such as “R de Papel”, a project that includes prisoners, band-ais for cars and “Coleção Cabeças no Ar”, “big headed lamps”.
