About the event

The everyday question "Can I help?" was used by artist Andrea Fraser in a performance that addressed the complex institutional relationships in the art world. The question also poses a challenge to the museum itself: what kind of help is really offered and what kind of connection can still be expected in an era of increasing fragmentation, dissonance and impermanence? The exhibition takes as its starting point five decades of artistic production, from the 1970s onwards, and includes works by 90 artists, for example, Ad Minoliti (in the museum's hall), Alberto Carneiro, Carla Filipe, Doris Salcedo, Helena Almeida, Gabriel Abrantes, Gilbert & George, Jeff Koons, Júlia Ventura, Kara Walker and Richard Serra, among many others. The works belong to the collections on deposit at MAC/CCB (Berardo, Coleção de Arte Contemporânea do Estado, Holma/Ellipse and Teixeira de Freitas), also including new commissions from Portuguese artists. Curated by Nuria Enguita and Marta Mestre Curatorial advisor Raphael Fonseca (Denver Art Museum) The exhibition "MAY I HELP YOU? POSSO AJUDAR?" Arts and artists from the 1970s onwards, inspired by Andrea Fraser's homonymous performance, exposes the diversity of representations, presences and narratives in the artistic field, questioning the idea of a single direction in art histories. Starting from dialogues between works over the last five decades, this exhibition investigates what artists are and do, and the social roles they imagine for themselves. From the ruptures regarding the very definition of art in the '70s, to the accelerated digitalization of the present, the exhibition emphasizes heteroclite formats, functions and intensities. – Nuria Enguita Curator of the exhibition and artistic director of MAC/CCB Artists: Gabriel Abrantes, Helena Almeida, Giovanni Anselmo, Robert Barry, Taysir Batniji, Lothar Baumgarten, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Sara Bichão, Irma Blank, Alighiero Boetti, Christian Boltanski, Olaf Breuning, Daniel Buren, Alberto Carneiro, Gabriel Chaile, Adriano Costa, Jim Dine, Jimmie Durham, Carla Filipe, Fischli & Weiss, Dan Flavin, Fernanda Fragateiro, Andrea Fraser, Gilbert & George, Simryn Gill, Fernanda Gomes, Félix González-Torres, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, David Hammons, Ana Hatherly, Mona Hatoum, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Thomas Hirschhorn, Jenny Holzer, Rebecca Horn, Sanja Iveković, Ana Jotta, Donald Judd, Mike Kelley, Yazan Khalili, Jeff Koons, Joseph Kosuth, Jannis Kounellis, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Sol LeWitt, Glenn Ligon, João Marçal, Agnes Martin, Cildo Meireles, Mario Merz, Ad Minoliti, Matt Mullican, Bruce Nauman, Senga Nengudi, Chris Ofili, Gabriel Orozco, Damián Ortega, Pino Pascali, Silvestre Pestana, Raymond Pettibon, Antonio Pichillá, Sandra Poulson, Robert Rauschenberg, Doris Salcedo, Alan Saret, Julião Sarmento, Allan Sekula, Richard Serra, Jim Shaw, Susana Solano, Haim Steinbach, Frank Stella, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rosemarie Trockel, João Pedro Vale + Nuno Alexandre Ferreira, Júlia Ventura, Vídeo nas Aldeias, Kara Walker, Franz West, Yonamine, Bruno Zhu.
