Yayoi Kusama at Serralves: Between Infinity, Art, and Social Transformation. Review by Fábio Cruz

The exhibition Yayoi Kusama: 1945 – Today, held at the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, highlights the profound and multifaceted impact of the Japanese artist on contemporary society. Over the course of seven decades, Kusama has built a powerful and, in part, highly philosophical body of work that invites the viewer to explore the boundaries of infinity, radical connection, and the cycles of life and death. This exhibition successfully conveyed the central themes of her work, from accumulation and highly expressive self-portraits to immersive and kaleidoscopic experiences.

'The Substance' - Review by Ricardo Martins

It has been a very long time since I’ve seen a movie as brave as “The Substance”, in terms of theme and technique. It had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, where it was much talked about and won the prize for Best Screenplay, a prize very well deserved. In fact, I’m very surprised it wasn’t made before, because it’s a theme very much of the 21st century – the fear of growing old and looking less attractive. Maybe that wasn’t produced before because it was waiting for a director (Coralie Fargeat) brave enough to show it graphically from a woman’s point of view and waiting for an actress (Demi Moore) brave enough to make fun of her own past image.
