Pedro Cabrita Reis

Kunsthalle Bern, Bern

Reis's media are industrially produced and generated materials, colour and light, his motifs walls, windows, doors, stairs, gardens, fountains, chairs and tables, shelves etc., his preferred themes are space, architecture (collective and individual) memory, in brief: all possible and impossible locations where people can be found. Open structures so characteristic of Reis's work will merge ideally with the flowing spatial sequences of the Kunsthalle.


comunicato stampa

The Portuguese artist Pedro Cabrita Reis (*1956) has occupied a surprisingly steady place on the art scene for almost 20 years. Since featuring at the Documenta (documenta IX, 1992) he has been invited to all the import biennales. Sao Paolo (1994), Kwangju and Venice (1995), etc. In 2003 he represented his country at the 50th Biennale in Venice. Currently he is presenting work at the 1st Valencia Biennale, staged under the auspices of Harald Szeemann, in Genua (Palazzo Ducale) and at the Arti & Architettura exhibition 1900-2000 by Germano Celant. One solo exhibition is showing in Antwerp (Middelheim Museum) another will open in London (Camden Arts Centre) in November.

Over the years Reis's work has steadily held its own against all the new trends and movements. This is due on the one hand to the artist's indomitable creative drive and on the other, certainly, to the timeless, universal themes that he consistently refines and enhances.
Pedro Cabrita Reis's media are industrially produced and generated materials, colour and light, his motifs walls, windows, doors, stairs, gardens, fountains, chairs and tables, shelves ..., his preferred themes are space, architecture (collective and individual) memory, in brief: all possible and impossible locations where people can be found.

The artist has created new works for the Bern exhibition throughout. There can be no doubt the open structures so characteristic of Reis's work will merge ideally with the flowing spatial sequences of the Kunsthalle.
