Art of Open Doors in Portugal
A selection of images from ArT of opEN doors project in Rua de Santa Maria of Funchal. It is a project to open the doors of the city of Funchal to art and culture. They were not “virtual entrances” rather old and forgotten. These doors are from abandoned shops and deteriorated areas that take on new life, in order to sensitize people filling the streets with cultural and artistic events.
These interventions include all the visual arts, from painting, sculpture, photography, video, music and writing. It is an intervention that is not intended vandalize or be transgressive with the everyday life of the city. Although every artist always wants to be innovative and “groundbreaking”. This is part of a “wakeup call” that any work of art exerts on the audience who sees it.
