NOVO BANCO REVELATION 2018
DE 2018-11-30 a 2019-01-29
 The finalists and grand winner of the 2018 edition of the NOVO BANCO Revelation Prize have been revealed. This year's Jury - comprised by Anna Gritz, curator at the KW (Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin), Filipa Loureiro and Ricardo Nicolau, curator and deputy to the director of Serralves Museum, and Rita Vitorelli, editor-in-chief of Spyke Art magazine - unanimously chose as finalists of the 2018 NOVO BANCO Revelation Prize - the artists Carlos Arteiro, Ana Linhares, the collective Sem título 2018 and Maria Trabulo, who was declared the grand winner.
A group exhibition will be inaugurated at Serralves Museum, to present the works by the four artists, for which they will receive a production grant to implement the projects they presented to the competition. A monographic publication of the work of the grand winner, Maria Trabulo, will be published on this occasion.
The NOVO BANCO Revelation Prize is an initiative of NOVO BANCO, in partnership with the Serralves Foundation. To date it has already distinguished 41 artists and aims to encourage artistic production and creation by young Portuguese artists, aged up to 30, based on a logic of dissemination, launch and support for all artists who use the medium of photography.

According to the jury, all the artists expressed an approach to photography that broadens the scope and possibilities of this medium in the field of contemporary art - for example in projects related to the memory of Portuguese colonial heritage (Ana Linhares), or that jumble up concepts of authorship and identity (collective Untitled 2018), or use photography to explore the impersonal, mechanical character of photographic work in other media, in particular in painting and video (Carlos Arteiro).
The jury said that the Prize was granted to Maria Trabulo due to the introspective and idiosyncratic character of her research, as demonstrated in the project that she presented to the NOVO BANCO Revelation Prize in which she questioned the relationship between photography and the limits of human memory – reminding us that photography plays a fundamental role in the constitution of archives, preservation practices and as an archaeological tool.
Maria Trabulo lives and works between Porto and Vienna. She is involved in solo and group projects and has participated in several artistic exhibitions in Portugal and abroad. She has received awards from leading international institutions and developed several collaborations with professionals working in the fields of the arts, architecture and the performing arts. She completed her master's degree in Art & Science from the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna and has a B.A. Hons. degree in Fine Arts, from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto and the Academy of Fine Arts in Iceland.

NOVO BANCO REVELATION 2017: TIAGO MADALENO
DE 2017-10-17 a 2018-01-07
 From October 17, the Serralves Museum and NOVO BANCO present an exhibition of works by Tiago Madaleno, winner of the 2017 edition of the NOVO BANCO REVELATION Prize. The Prize is an initiative of NOVO BANCO and the Serralves Foundation, which has already distinguished more than 48 artists and aims to encourage artistic creation and production by young Portuguese artists, aged up to 30, based on a logic of dissemination, launch and support for all artists who explore the medium of photography. Tiago Madaleno (Vila Nova de Gaia, 1992) was chosen by a jury, presided by João Ribas, Deputy Director and Senior Curator of the Serralves Museum and whose other members were Andrea Lissoni, curator of video and photography at the Tate Modern in London; Alessio Antoniolli, Director of Gasworks & Triangle Network, London; Ricardo Nicolau, deputy to the director and curator of Serralves Museum and Filipa Loureiro, curator of Serralves Museum. The winner was chosen from a group of four finalists, which also included artists Ana Barata Martins, Diogo Bolota and Henrique Loja. The four finalists use photography to question its meanings and possibilities in contemporary art. With the project presented to the jury, Tiago Madaleno proposes to reflect on the relationship between photography and temporality, invoking the presence of the body in the process of producing images. Using an installation based on several devices that explore deviated use of the photographic vocabulary, Clepsydra (the Madaleno project) questions the conditions of visibility of photography, in particular the processes used to produce photographs and the use of the index as a working tool. CATALOGUE: The published catalogue of the 2017 edition of the NOVO BANCO REVELATION Prize documents projects by the four finalists, not only the projects presented to the competition, but also previous and / or current works. Revealing different artistic practices that intersect with sculpture, design, installation or performance, Tiago Madaleno, Ana Barata Martins, Diogo Bolota and Henrique Loja all affirm the vitality of photography and the central place that it occupies in contemporary artistic practice, as demonstrated in the written interviews provided in response to questions proposed by Ricardo Nicolau, Deputy to the Director of Serralves Museum and member of the jury.

NOVO BANCO REVELATION 2016: ANDREIA SANTANA
DE 2016-11-24 a 2017-02-12
 The NOVO BANCO REVELATION award is an initiative of the NOVO BANCO in partnership with the Serralves Foundation that has already distinguished 39 artists. It aims to encourage artistic creation and production by talented young Portuguese artists, based on a logic of dissemination, launch and support of all artists who use photography as an artistic medium.
The renewed format of the NOVO BANCO Revelation award includes an international jury. In the first stage it is responsible for selecting four projects from all the applications received. In the second stage the jury will choose the competition’s main winner from the four shortlisted projects.
The winner of the 2016 edition is Andreia Santana (Lisbon, 1991), who will present her work "Leaves of Absence" in a solo exhibition at the Serralves Museum. The jury president this year was João Ribas (Deputy Director and Senior Curator of Serralves Museum) and the other jury members were Alice Motard (Chief Curator of the CAPC - Museum of Contemporary Art of Bordeaux); Émilie Villez (Director of the Kadist Foundation, Paris); Luca Lo Pinto (curator of the Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna); Ricardo Nicolau (assistant director of Serralves Museum) and Filipa Loureiro (curator of Serralves Museum). The jury highlighted the important role that the organisation of an exhibition at Serralves Museum may play in Andreia Santana's artistic career. Dialogue with the Museum’s curators and access to professional conditions of production and communication should bring new concerns and aesthetic positions to her work.
The project that Andreia Santana presented to the jury testifies to artists' current interests in techniques and resources that are gradually dying out. Based on images taken in Portuguese factories that manufacture instruments used in the field of archaeology, Andreia Santana establishes a relationship between modes of production that are considered anachronistic and a social science (archaeology) which will inevitably analyse these modes of production in the near future.
To accompany the Prize a catalogue was recently published that presents the work of the four finalists. In addition to images documenting the projects, the catalogue includes interviews with the artists conducted by Ricardo Nicolau, assistant director of Serralves Museum and member of the jury of the NOVO BANCO REVELATION 2016 award.

NOVO BANCO REVELATION 2015: BRUNO ZHU
DE 2015-11-20 a 2016-01-31
 NOVO BANCO Revelation is an initiative of NOVO BANCO, in partnership with the Serralves Foundation, that aims to encourage artistic creation and production by young Portuguese photographers, based on a strategy of dissemination, launch and support for all those who explore the photographic medium. The main prize awarded each year is complemented by a €15,000 production grant.
NOVO BANCO Revelation’s new format includes an international jury that shortlists four projects from all the works submitted and then chooses the winner. Bruno Zhu is the winner of the 2015 edition and will present his work in a solo exhibition at the Serralves Museum.
This year’s jury was constituted by Pierre Bal-Blanc, a member of the curatorial team of the next Documenta in Kassel (Germany), Michelle Cotton, Director of Bonner Kunstverein (Germany), and Filipa Loureiro and Ricardo Nicolau, curators of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art. In announcing their decision, the jury emphasized the intrinsic qualities of the work of Bruno Zhu - who handles photographs in a comparable manner to the way that viewers currently manipulate images, especially on the Internet. Freely mixing erudite and popular references, in an attempt, in his words, "to mix brightness with vulgarity", the artist links contemporary artistic creation with the fluidity of the media.
Bruno Zhu was born in Porto in 1991. He has a B.A. Hons. degree in Fashion Design from Central St Martins in London and is currently attending the Master’s degree in Fine Arts at the Sandberg Institute, in Amsterdam, where he now lives. His work has been displayed in solo exhibitions in the Jeanine Hofland Contemporary Art gallery, in Amsterdam, the Temple gallery, in Paris and the Carlos / Ishikawa Gallery, in London.
This project is coordinated by Filipa Loureiro and Ricardo Nicolau - curators of the Serralves Museum.

NOVO BANCO REVELAÇÃO 2014 - New Photography in Portugal
DE 2014-10-18 a 2015-01-11
In the context of a competition, projects by four national artists were selected by an international jury. The artists were awarded production grants and the opportunity to have their works displayed in the Serralves Museum. This exhibition, which brings together the works that have been developed in the meantime, shows how the photographic and cinematic formats have been exploited by young Portuguese artists.
The jury – this year comprised by Maria Inés Rodriguez (Director of the Musée D´Art Contemporain in Bordeaux), Andre Bellini (Director of the Centre d´Art Contemporain in Geneva) and Joe Scotland (Director of Studio Voltaire in London) - unanimously selected the projects submitted by Patrícia Bandeira, Pedro Henriques, Sofia Lopes Borges, Lúcia Prancha.
Patricia Bandeira: Not otherwise specified In Not otherwise specified - a multimedia installation that combines photography and video - Patricia Bandeira uses a real-life event (a group of Icelanders who adamantly confessed that they had committed a crime, although they couldn’t remember having committed it) in order to question the relationship between photography and the assumption of reality. Ultimately she aims to explore how coercive persuasion using images can affect our perception of reality. The artist wrote the following about this project: "[...] it is inspired by the ambiguity between reality-fiction, presence-absence, place - no place." Pedro Henriques: Mixers In Pedro Henriques’ project, images of an audio mixing table acquire special visual interest. Various visual distortions are applied to technical photographs of that object, which are then printed on cut wooden boards. According to the artist, "In a somewhat paradoxical manner, the project aims to elicit a sensation of being in front of an acoustic instrument that has tactile materiality" 
Sofia Lopes Borges: Cable Car Sofia Lopes Borges will travel along the entire Portuguese border - from Caminha to Vila Real de Santo António - capturing the strange landscape that can be seen from our country. Europe proposes a portrait of Portugal, "showing the visible landscape of Europe" 
Lúcia Prancha: Visions of Albinos Lúcia Prancha travels to the Island of Lençóis, in northeastern Brazil, to collect images and information to produce a mockumentary about a group of albinos who believe that they inhabit a land haunted by D. Sebastião since he disappeared in combat in the famous battle of Ksar El Kebir (1578). According to the artist, she used this research in order to "understand a common past and the current relationship (or absence thereof) between Portugal and Brazil"

BES Revelação 2013 AWARD
DE 2013-11-26 a 2014-01-26
The BES Revelação Award, a joint initiative between the Serralves Foundation and the Banco Espírito Santo, has made an outstanding contribution towards projecting new talent in Portuguese photography over the past nine years. This year’s edition will feature works by the shortlisted artists Diogo Evangelista, Nádia Ribeiro, and André Romão. Curated by Filipa Ramos
Diogo Evangelista (Lisbon, 1984) will present a new video work drawing on the conventions of the fake documentary or ‘mockumentary’, to reflect upon what the artist calls the ‘archetypes of desert, dream, illusion, utopia and paradise’, associating ‘the planet Mars to a lost paradise, represented by the islands of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, Faial in the Azores, New Guinea in Indonesia, and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
Nádia Rodrigues Ribeiro (Leiria, 1984) will present a series of over eighty photographic images that depict the gradual decay of a flower bouquet. A wide range of analogue photographic processes were used to develop the images, which accentuates the medium's relationship with temporality.
André Romão (Lisbon, 1984) will present a video projection of a collage of the various fragments of the Parthenon’s western frieze that chronicles and synthesizes the history of the West through its own dismemberment (its fragments are scattered across various European museums).
This year’s edition of BES Revelação is curated by London and Milan-based curator and art critic Filipa Ramos. A curator of Vdrome (a programme of screenings of films by visual artists and filmmakers), Ramos was a former Associate Editor of Manifesta Journal and former Curator of the Research Section of Documenta 13 in 2012. She has been a guest curator at several public and private art spaces and is a regular contributor to several international publications.

CATARINA DE OLIVEIRA
A obra de Catarina de Oliveira (Lisboa, 1984) incorpora peças teatrais, peças de dança, vídeos e peças áudio, sendo frequentemente transversal a essas disciplinas diferentes. Utilizando uma imagística estilizada, sóbrias composições formais e narrativas fragmentadas, as suas obras procuram investigar o modo como as diferentes estruturas de poder operam, bem como as suas manifestações em rituais sociais e políticos, além de questionarem a forma como certos mitos e narrativas passam a fazer parte da história da comunidade. Tem abordado esses temas quase sempre tornando a informação directorial visível e criando narrativas que, embora existam nos domínios simbólico e alegórico, escapam às formas dialécticas ou lineares de relacionação com o espaço e o tempo. Catarina de Oliveira é actualmente mestranda em Belas Artes no Piet Zwart Institute, em Roterdão. Recentemente recebeu uma Huygens Scholarship, atribuída pelo ministério holandês da Educação, Cultura e Ciência, e foi seleccionada, ao lado de Camilla Wills, para o The Watermill Residency Program (Nova Iorque, EUA).

BES REVELATION
DE 2010-11-27 a 2011-01-16
The sixth edition of BES Revelation – an award aimed at supporting young national creators, and a partnership between Banco Espírito Santo and the Serralves Foundation – has been granted to four young artists who operate in the broad field of photography. The award includes grants for work production in a group exhibition displayed at the Serralves Museum.
Selected by an international jury including Margarida Mendes (curator and programmer of The Barber Shop space, in Lisbon), Simon Rees (chief curator of the Vilnius Centre of Contemporary Art), Simone Menegoi (Italian curator, art critic and collaborator of Kaleidoskope magazine) and Pierre Leguillon (curator and artist, Paris), the winners of BES Revelation 2010 are Mónica Baptista, Miguel Ferrão, Eduardo Guerra and Carlos Azeredo Mesquita.
This year’s edition features proposals that converge in their questioning of photography, but that are quite distinct both in terms of media – video, text that is projected or read, sculpture or 35 mm film – and in their research methods. The themes underlying the works featured here point towards fields as vast as the origin of experience as engine of phenomenological perception, serial appropriation as method, autobiographical narrative in a broad and abstract sense, the potential of narrativity or the limits of representation.
