An exhibition entitled THE TIME OF IMAGES (O TEMPO DAS IMAGENS) is opening at the National Library of Portugal, on 4 February, at 6 pm, displaying some of the most recent editions of the CPS graphic work.

This exhibition is the result of a protocol initiated in 2014 which establishes the donation of one copy of the editions created by CPS artists to the National Library of Portugal. A selection of 30 works from the recent editions was on display as a testimony of the editorial, aesthetical and technical projects of the Centre, gathering both renowned and young artists. This protocol has a significant importance, since it gives credit and value to the private collections of all CPS members.

This exhibition aims at stating the value and creative dynamics of the Portuguese graphic work in its major techniques: screen printing, engraving and lithography. It is a living, multiple and essential form of expression in contemporary society that will last in time and in our cultural memory.

The exhibit is organised in 4 spaces, 3 of which represent CPS collective editorial projects: Arquitect@s Series, 1/81 Series and Dialogue with Brazil, and it is complemented with a selection of works that enhance the visual dimension of books and where the word appears illuminated.
