Press Release
In Belas Artes, Bruno Zhu (Porto, 1991) addresses structures of power inherent to museological practice using an idiosyncratic conceptual approach.
Influenced by fashion design, publishing and scenography, the work of Bruno Zhu departs from the object as a means to explore notions of agency, authorship, consumption, and power. In Belas Artes, the artist reflects on collecting, exhibition design and the role of museums as producers of artistic value.
In this exhibition, visitors will encounter four interconnected rooms entirely different from one another. Three of these rooms display a selection of works from the CAM Collection.
The exhibition is part of a curatorial line at CAM that fosters new perspectives of its Collection by inviting artists to engage with and reinterpret it. Bruno Zhu’s proposal scrutinises the hierarchies of power and taste that structure museological practices.
