Here are some working pictures of a project that just opened at Culturgest in Lisbon: an “Expanded Atlas” based on Marcel Broodthaers original from 1975, in honor of its 50th anniversary. The ridiculously oversized, silkscreen on felt version has been expanded in every way: dimensionally, geographically, politically, and alphabetically. Details in the link, full installation pictures coming soon.
