On January 7th, Galeria Zé dos Bois receives philosopher and writer Olivier Schefer for a conference entitled Geology of the images, stories of landscape, related with the exhibition Primeiras Impressões de uma Paisagem [First Impressions of a Landscape], by João Nisa, currently on view at the gallery. The exhibition consists of a video installation made from material filmed inside the Águas Livres Aqueduct, on the outskirts of Lisbon, using one of its segments as a series of camera obscura devices. Olivier Schefer will propose a historical framework for the exhibition of João Nisa in the light of a few examples of painted and filmed landscapes. The intervention, in English language, will be followed by a discussion with the artist.
