Beatriz Manteigas is the invited artist for 2025 at the Artistic Residency at O Chão das Artes—Botanical Garden, which is materialised in the site-specific installation of the Painters’ Garden and the Greenhouse exhibition.
It is the intention that matters is the result of theoretical-practical research started in 2023, devoted to the intersection between art and ecology, in which the artist visually explores the cross-contamination between different realities of her life: her figurative work, her doctoral research in Drawing, and her associated work as co-founder and director of the Quinta das Relvas Association (a not-for-profit organisation aimed at informal education in the arts and sustainability through permaculture).
This publication has an interview conducted by Linda Weintraub with Beatriz Manteigas, that complements both the exhibition and the installation in the Painters’ Garden.
Exhibition on display at the Greenhouse of O Chão das Artes – Botanical Garden, from May 31st to December 30th, 202
