António Bolota’s exhibition Manobra explores the limits between sculpting and meta-architecture. His works confront the public with instability and transience matter, challenging permanent notions of the constructed space. According to Gabriela Vaz-Pinheiro, Bolota’s work is a misleading minimalism that goes beyond architecture, projecting a time felt in and with one’s body. Vaz-Pinheiro also adds that the works in the exhibition return to the deep unsettlement derived from the existential question (shared but not declared) about the stability of the constructed landscape. One knows but prefers not to think about how the buildings can so easily collapse.
