THE PORTO ART SALON Presents an event for the most important day in the Portuguese calendar🇵🇹:

🌹From Flower to Freedom: A Fascinating Look at the Carnation Revolution🌹🇵🇹

📅 Friday, April 24th, 2026 | 🕖 19:00
🎨 Art Talk | 🎥 Film | 🍷 Buffet

This is the time of year that everyone in Portugal waits for, but why is it? The Carnation Revolution, on April 25, 1974, ended a 48-year dictatorship and brought democracy. It started with a song on the radio and continued with carnations in rifle barrels. It's the day that changed Portugal forever.

Delve into an evening with an engaging art talk on how the revolution shaped Portuguese art and culture. Next, dive into a riveting documentary that brings this historic moment to life through powerful images. Wrap up the night with a light Portuguese buffet & wine and meet new, interesting people.

Don’t miss out on this must-attend event to understand and connect with the country you now call home.

⚠️This event is not only for foreigners, also Portuguese will be surprised to learn where some "traditional" habits really come from...

📅 Friday, April 24th, 2025, 19:00
📍 Location: Cedofeita (Exact location will be given upon reservation)
💶 Price: €35

Hello all, 🎀🎄🤶
A ninute before Christmas is here, before you all open your gifts 🎁 and get your teeth stuck to sugar candies, I want to draw your gaze to a unique Christmas art reference (which you can — and maybe should — explore further later).

It’s the king of Pop Art, the most famous dandy of all: Andy Warhol. 🎉

In the early 1950s, when he was still working as a commercial illustrator in New York (mainly for shoe magazines), Warhol created his gentle and unique Christmas and Santa illustrations.

This was before the Campbell’s soup cans, Marilyn Monroe, and the Coca-Cola bottles.

These Christmas illustrations were made for magazines, greeting cards, and advertising — playful, decorative, and very charming.
But Warhol being Warhol, even here the holiday’s motifs appear less as a myth and more as an image: flat, superficial, and overtly perfect.

What makes them interesting in retrospect is that Warhol was already doing what he would later perfect:
turning cultural icons into products — and products into icons.

Christmas, for Warhol, wasn’t sacred, but it also wasn’t a joke.
It was already just a commercial. And that was the point.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a wonderful New Year full of charming moments to remember and laugh about.
May we all learn to take life a bit like Andy — not too seriously.

We used to take photographs to remember a moment.
Now we take them to prove it — where we were, what we did, who we were with.
All validated by an image.

Guy Debord warned about this long before smartphones existed:
that “images have supplanted lived experience” and that
“everything that was directly lived has receded into a representation.”

And here we are — living through the lens, curating reality before we even feel it.
Moments become content. Presence becomes performance.

Promoting our work today depends on creating content.
We have to document, share, show, and constantly provide “proof.”
And lately I’ve noticed a quiet, subconscious voice whispering in the background:
“This would be good content.”
It changes the way I look at moments — even the intimate, beautiful ones with people I love.

The real challenge now is to live a moment without immediately turning it into material,
without needing to document it.
To let some things exist without an audience.
To experience something no one else sees.

But can we do it?

Adding a photo of what I’m eating, for the content.

These rainy days that merge with the Christmas lights during this season make me think of Olafur Eliasson’s installation ‘Beauty’ (1993). A dark room, a single light, and a thin curtain of mist. Suddenly - a rainbow appears. Not a grand gesture, just light meeting water at the exact right angle.

🌦🌈💫

What is it telling us?

That beauty never disappears - it simply waits for the right conditions to reveal itself.

But it’s fragile. It asks us to shift our point of view, to look differently, to be patient.

And when it finally appears, all we can do is pause... and cherish it.

On Monday, November 10th, 16:00-17:00, The Porto Art Salon will be hosted at *Portugal Tech Week’s Palace in Lisbon.
Attendance is *FREE*, and I’d love to see you there!

🎨 The Museum of Tomorrow: Reimagining the Future of Museums in a Post-Digital Age 🤖

This talk explores how museums and cultural memory can evolve in an era where technology is deeply woven into our lives.
What will museums look like in the future?
Will they collect computers and devices essential to displaying old artworks?
Will they face new ethical questions around the presentation of digital and AI-generated works?
Must artists now leave behind technical instructions so their works can still be shown decades from now?

And more fundamentally—if art can be experienced from our phones, do we still need museums?
What will happen to artistic value, to the idea of originality, and to the role of the artist in a post-digital world?

Bridging Porto’s artistic and technological communities, this salon-style gathering embodies the spirit of Portugal Tech Week: innovation, creativity, and forward-thinking dialogue.

This event highlights the cultural and human dimensions of technology—reminding us that progress is not only about tools, but about meaning, identity, and imagination.
It’s about connection, humanity, and community.
Let’s expand our ways of thinking and imagine together the future of museums.

🗣️ Speaker: Karin Eden — researcher, curator, and entrepreneur in the field of art theory and visual culture.
Founder and director of The Porto Art Salon, a center for art, culture, and education that seeks to make art accessible through an innovative, experiential, and interactive approach.

📅 Date: November 10th
🕓 Time: 16:00–17:00
📍 Location: Portugal Tech Week Palace by Make
Rua Gomes Freire 98, 1150-179 Lisboa

About last week in London:
5 museums. 10 exhibitions. Countless conversations. ✨

I love my job — the opportunity to guide art tours, to teach, and to talk about art in ways that open doors to history, figures, tensions, and reflections on our present and future. Every brushstroke, every corner of a sculpture, every beat of a sound installation tells a story. My joy is weaving those stories together until I see that spark in someone’s eyes — when they say: “I got it. This made me understand things I never did.”

But this isn’t just about teaching — it’s about learning. Each show, each text I read, each connection I make between art, poetry, literature, even TV shows, adds another layer. And beyond that, it’s about *dialogue:* agreeing that a work is powerful, or disagreeing completely; aligning on an historical moment, or questioning it from another angle.

That space of agreement and disagreement is where the magic happens — because art, and well, life, isn’t about one “right” answer. It’s about many ways of thinking, about listening and being challenged, about allowing different perspectives to coexist. Its about having the tolerance to emotions and perspectives of others and its a lot about history.

This was London, this time around: art tours, stories, and conversations that reminded me how vital it is to keep dialogue alive. 🖼️ 💂‍♂️🎨

“Life is too short to remain unnoticed.” — Salvador Dalí 🎭✨️

This piece of paper was taped to the mirror in my childhood bedroom. It stayed with me through the years, guiding me into adulthood, into my work, and into every event I curate.

Dalí didn’t just say it — he lived it.
With his unmistakable moustache, eccentric persona, and provocative imagination, he blurred the boundaries between art, celebrity, and performance long before Warhol or Koons.

🎨🖌 He understood the power of visibility — not only in the gallery but in life itself.
As Catherine Wood observed, “He had infiltrated the mass consciousness to a level no one had done before.”

Dalí transformed not only painting but the very idea of what an artist could be: surrealist, revolutionary, showman, icon. 🎩

This sentence is at the heart of The Porto Art Salon:
The belief that art, conversation, curiosity, and knowledge should show up vividly and unapologetically. 💬🎭 To create something unique together — like a total work of art, a Gesamtkunstwerk, as Wagner called his operas — a fascination that refuses to go unnoticed.
To create moments worth remembering.

To notice. To think deeply. To dare.

So take it as advice from him, and carry it with you into the week:

Dare to be seen. Dare to be bold. Dare to make your own surreal mark on the world. 🚪🌏
