Lara Portela's solo show, Come Tomorrow and Bring Your Friends So I Can Meet Them, from April
Born in Leiria, Portugal, Lara Portela (1982), studied Plastic Arts at the School of Arts and Design, Caldas da Rainha, between 2001 and 2006. In 1999 had the first contact with Theatre, taking part in two performances, and realised her interest in old objects. In 2005 went as an Erasmus student to Antalya, Turkey, where did develop a close relation with photography and the possibilities of series. Since then is structuring her work around the notion of objects and their usage, collecting, organizing, storing, bringing together the idea of series and the relation chaos/order, public/private, while combining imagery from a wide variety of sources.
