“Tornar-se verbo” is a multimedia installation by the artist José Manuel Ruiz that deals with the intrinsic paradox of language: its power as a weapon and the impossibility of mastering it, since it always has a surplus. Such excess is also attributed to art, in a Becoming verb that is provoked by the written word and by narration interrupted by noise and contrast. A coitus interruptus that aims to confront the spectator with the complexity that dwells in what we really believe to direct and govern.

Flowers and liturgy from ceramics by José Manuel Gomes
Funchal Museum of Sacred Art from 21st June
Highlighting the importance of altar vases as elements that value and exalt flowers in the liturgical context, the reading proposed in the new MASF exhibition integrates an important set of contemporary artistic ceramics by sculptor José Manuel Gomes. The work developed points to many paths, one of them being to transcend the traditional liturgical purpose of the vases, making them works of art in themselves.
