Ana Jotta is one of the most original and surprising artists in the Portuguese artistic context, emerging in the eighties. Her extremely unique body of work utilizes mediums such as painting, sculpture, embroidery, or everyday objects, in a diaristic exercise where the artist juxtaposes the intimacy of daily life with the assumption of her creations as works of art. The mockery of an almost Dadaist attitude with which the artist materializes her projects elicits humor or distant criticism of the art world and its mythologies. The construction of a feminine discourse about art is simultaneously practiced and criticized, in an exercise of distancing from the rhetorics of femininity in the art world. The present exhibition is the first retrospective of her works, which will be installed in Casa de Serralves, in a dialogue with the architectural characteristics of its spaces, transformed by the revelation of the intimacy and diversity of the creative processes employed by the artist.
