In this second in a series of three talks on the exhibition “MU – Pedro Costa & Rui Chafes”, the art critic Atsushi Sugita spoke about the state of contemporary art in Portugal.

In addition to his activities as a researcher and critic of contemporary art, Professor Sugita teaches at the Joshibi University of Art and Design and operates the alternate art space Art & River Bank. His knowledge of Portuguese culture, cinema and art has been deepened by his many visits to the country. His publications include “à cidade branca” (Towards a white city, Sairyusha, 2002). He organized the group exhibition “The Age of Micro Voyages” (Joshibi Art Museum, 2010), which included the work of Pedro Costa and other Portuguese artists.
