LaBscapes
MUSE — MUSEU DO DESIGN
LISBON, PORTUGAL 2025
LaBscapes presents an aesthetic investigation into landscape, form, and matter through site-specific works and mixed approaches that merge sculpture and painting. The exhibition features pieces developed with new materials created in the laboratory, the result of a process initiated by Olga Noronha in 2023.
exhibition
• 7 panels – Lab Paintings© (189cm x 84 cm each)
• Central sculpture: Miríade – Hipnagogia Series (2023) “I am a peeled body. A painting without figure. I let the wind strike me and shed in layers. I flutter through you.”
The Hipnagogia series explores the state between wakefulness and sleep — mind awake, body asleep — where hypnagogic hallucinations take over the senses, revealing vivid, high-contrast, chimerical images. This experience, evoked by the artist, refers to the installation and performance ModaLisboa Museum of Contemporary Art, presented in October 2023 at Pátio da Galé, Lisbon.
