He came to Marseille three times (February, May and July 2016) and worked on different artistic approaches.
Palma developed an installation, presented from July 5th till November 2nd in an old chapel located at the fort St Jean of the MuCEM.
The art work is a metaphor about the passing of time, questioning our collective memory and our cultural references. The installation consisted of five discs turning around: one for Greek time, the second for Roman time, the third for medieval time, the fourth for modern time and the fifth for present time.
During his residency, Palma also worked with undergraduate students and support them in curating an exhibition with our collection.
Miguel Palma lives and works in Lisbon. Since 2007 he has been in residence in several different countries, the US and France especially. Palma's work frequently deals with questions of technological development, ecology, the belief in images, the idea of power, the infant-juvenile world or the obsession for the machine. His art unfolds into drawing, sculpture, multimedia installation, video, artist books and performance.
