Batalha Centro de Cinema presents the first solo exhibition in Portugal by American artist Tony Cokes. Awarded the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 2024, Cokes has presented his work in museums such as Haus der Kunst, MACRO and MACBA over the last few years. His films and installations propose a unique and sonically powerful visual semantics, based on texts and messages that reflect on capitalism, coloniality, consumption and other systems of power. With vividly coloured images in which text takes centre stage, Cokes often places today's popular culture in dialogue with critical texts that punctuate the discursive evolution of these subjects. In Batalha, we present a new work by the artist, created specifically for this exhibition, and revisit other canonical films from his career.
Introduction by Tony Cokes
6 Dec Fri 21:15 Free entrance
Talk between Tony Cokes and Kodwo Eshun (filmmaker, theorist and artist)
15 Feb Sat
Testament A Live Act by Kode9
