Young european artists, an aggregator process

The term of “Young European artists” assumes an inclusive and aggregator process of copyrighted practices and creative (or artistic) trends that try to conciliate the sense of belonging (and identity) with the porosity of the extensive multicultural and multinational offers.

Facing the alleged “deaths” of Sculpture, Print and Photography, video and multimedia appear as instrumental and mitigating substitutes.
In the portuguese case, there are several artworks with paint poured over canvas and other supports, with color used as an attractive value in differential or interactive techniques that the new models, raised by Science and Information Technology, School of Arts and Design and culture of the media, extended to the “collective” and digital practices or electric-acoustic compositions.

The Erasmus Program’s appearing gave birth to a new culture of travelling, an incessant search of new appearances for new audiences, a persistent “optimism” that the contests abundantly express.

The Works of Ana Velez, Brígida Machado, Hugo Paquete, Marta Moura, MartinhoFernandes, Rosa Santana, Sara Bernardo and Sara Pereira express different fields (humor, irony, random, funny, magic, hallucinatory…) and set out to both construct and deconstruct artistic objects. That’s why we can say that the selected artworks matter much to the Sociology of Art than to History of Art.
