Quote / Unquote. Between Appropriation and Dialogue presented a selection of works from EDP Foundation’s Art Collection, gathered under the subject of appropriation in contemporary art.

Based around the time period which defines this collection — from the 1960s to present day —, this exhibition offered an alternative perspective on the following practices: direct appropriation of images, texts or other forms of cultural output, the use of quotations as elements contributing to meaning, or as a conscious and avowed dialogues with pre-existing authors and works.

This exhibition was a collaborative curatorial project by Gabriela Vaz-Pinheiro and Ana Anacleto and it was structured around sub-themes — “Archive and Everyday Life”, “Space and Politics” and “Image and Narrative” — which aimed to group together sets of works around selected affinities and, as such, also propose specific dialogues.

This was the third iteration in the series of exhibitions Perspectives | EDP Foundation’s Art Collection and it was presented at Porto’s Municipal Gallery.
