FERNANDA FRAGATEIRO
VISUAL ARTIST
PORTUGAL
The work of Fernanda Fragateiro (Montijo, 1962; lives and works in Lisbon) maintains a strong signature style born of an economy of means and a meticulous minimalist aesthetic of form, color and surface texture. Fragateiro’s primary media are sculpture and installation, although she also creates interventions into public space in the form of gardens, outdoor sculptures and collaborations in architectural projects. Drawing thematically on 20th-century modernist art and architecture, Fragateiro frequently repurposes already-existing and culturally-layered material in order to fashion new works that are criss-crossed by an intricate web of inner references to art theory, architectural history, feminist discourse and political revisionism.
Fragateiro has exhibited at Kestner Gesellschaft (Hannover, 2023); Centro Cultural de Belém (Lisbon, 2023); Cloud Seven–Frédéric de Goldschmidt Collection (Brussels, 2023); FCAYC Fundación Cerezales Antonino y Cinia (Cere- zales del Condado, 2022); Tampa Museum of Art (Tampa, 2022); Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré (Tours, 2022); Centro Botín (Santander, 2020); CGAC Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (Santiago de Compostela, 2020); Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen (Siegen, 2019); Museo Banco de la República y Museo de Antioquia (Bogotá, 2018); MAAT – Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia (Lisbon, 2017); La Galleria Nazionale D’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (Rome, 2017); Fundació “la Caixa” (Barcelona, 2016); Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University (Cambridge, 2015); NC-Arte (Bogotá, 2014); Calouste Gulbekian Foundation (Lis- bon, 2013); Casa da Música (Porto, 2007); Fundação Caixa Geral de Depósitos Culturgest (Lisbon, 2003); Museu de arte Contemporânea de Serralves (Porto, 2002) and elsewhere.
