Antonio Dias: The Search for an Open Enigma
Antonio Dias (1944–2018), an artist who relentlessly transgressed material and conceptual boundaries, tackling complex sociopolitical issues across diverse mediums. The exhibition title derives from artist-critic Hélio Oiticica’s 1969 analysis of the open-ended nature of Dias’ iconography.
The first solo exhibition of Dias’ art in the region, The Search for an Open Enigma pays homage to the versatile and subversive nature of his oeuvre through a selection of works that follow his artistic trajectory from the 1960s until the late 1990s.
