Description:

The project emerged as a response to the few numbers of alternative models for cultural production in Lisbon. Mono’s main mission is to promote collective work between artists and other cultural actors, promote national and international exchanges and to enrich the development of critical thinking through questioning history, evolution, innovation and humanity. For mono, an «artists-run-space» has the task of creating the necessary conditions for the sustainability, interdisciplinary and multiculturalism of contemporary creation. Mono is an 800m2 space organised between a studio with permanent artists, exhibition space, and an artist-residence. Exhibitions welcome local, national and international artists. Concerts (circle session), performances and talks are also part of the programming. Mono is in Penha de França, where there is still space for the development of artistic culture. Mono seeks to create a connection between the nearest neighbourhoods, such as Arroios and Graça, where there is already a panorama of contemporary art in development and contribute to the local environment with new cultural dynamics.

Description: What can we know of the world? What quantity of space can our eyes hope to take in between our birth and our death? How many square centimetres of Planet Earth will the soles of our shoes have touched? To cover the world, to cross it in every direction, will only ever be to know a few square meters of it. And with the sense of the world's concreteness, irreducible, immediate tangible, of something clear and closer to us: of the world, no longer as a journey having constantly to be met, but as a rediscovery of meaning, the perceiving that the earth is a form of writing, a geography of which we had forgotten that we ourselves are the authors.
