About last evening’s ART BASEL VIP Event…

URIEL ORLOW
Reveries of Collective Walkers (Basel)

A warm thank you to everyone who joined us at Gellertpark for the opening of SIBYLLA and for Uriel Orlow’s performance in the property of Christoph Merian Shiftung at the Freie Musikschule Basel.

With classical musicians performing for plants, we were transported closer to nature, as witnesses to a symbiosis between human and more-than-human forms of listening — extending the spirit of Maria Sibylla Merian through sound, attention, and collective presence.

A special thank you to Uriel Orlow, Maria João Pires, Martin Masan, to all the professional musicians and students from the Freie Musikschule Basel involved in this special moment to Art Basel for including our event as part of the VIP Programme.

Performance, 18:00
Reveries of Collective Walkers (Basel)


We are excited to invite you to SIBYLLA, a group exhibition presented by dialogue × Freie Musikschule Basel at Gellertgut Park, as part of the Art Basel VIP Programme.

Taking its name from Maria Sibylla Merian, the pioneering female botanist whose life and work are deeply connected to Basel, SIBYLLA invokes the figure of the sibyl as both scientist and oracle.

The performance by Uriel Orlow unfolds in parallel with his presentation at the Giardini of La Biennale di Venezia. Developed in collaboration with Maria João Pires and Martin Masan, it takes place in the garden, where musicians perform with and for plants, activating a subtle dialogue between human and more-than-human forms of listening.

Performance / Music Curators
Maria João Pires and Martin Masan

Sábado 6 Junho 17h

No âmbito de CATATAU, exposição de Francisca Carvalho cujo título é inspirado no livro homónimo de Paulo Leminski, apresentamos o Reading Room #03, com uma conversa entre Mar Becker e Raquel Marinho.

A relação entre Paulo Leminski e Mar Becker aproxima um dos nomes centrais da poesia marginal brasileira de uma das vozes mais premiadas da poesia contemporânea no Brasil. Ambos partilham uma poética de linguagem cortante, sintética e intensamente musical.

O Reading Room acontece em simultâneo com a Feira do Livro de Lisboa, celebrando mais uma edição e reforçando o compromisso da dialogue com a poesia, a leitura e a programação editorial, em colaboração com a editora Sr. Teste.

As part of CATATAU, Francisca Carvalho’s exhibition whose title is inspired by the book of the same name by Paulo Leminski, we present Reading Room 03, with a conversation between Mar Becker and Raquel Marinho.

The connection between Paulo Leminski and Mar Becker brings together one of the central figures of Brazilian marginal poetry and one of the most awarded voices in contemporary Brazilian poetry. Both share a poetics of sharp, concise and intensely musical language.

Reading Room takes place simultaneously with the Lisbon Book Fair, celebrating another edition and reinforcing dialogue’s commitment to poetry, reading and editorial programming, in collaboration with Sr. Teste.

ss space space 很高興發布首次客座展覽計畫「一個不在藝術博覽會裡的博覽會展位」。本次展覽由策展人唐逸芊與里斯本當代藝廊 dialogue 合作，呈現伊比利半島藝術家瑪爾塔·巴雷內切亞（Marta Barrenechea）與普里西拉·費爾南德斯（Priscila Fernandes）的創作。

當一個藝博會展位被移置於藝術家自營空間中，透過剝離其建構與政治特質，展覽固有的階級與權力關係得以鬆動，讓觀者更能專注於自身的感知、認知與意識。

本次展覽藝術家瑪爾塔·巴雷內切亞將環境觀測經驗轉化為針線創作，日常符號以刺繡現身，凹凸的「視覺觸感」誘發觀者身體與布料的經驗；而普里西拉·費爾南德斯的《報紙攤》系列則將面對時事的情緒以蠟畫與線條「報導」出來，探問觀者對新聞的身體意識，進而引發對倫理與行動的省思。兩位藝術家皆透過自身經驗作為往返他者間的媒介，展示此時此刻「臨場」的經驗。

本展同步推出由唐逸芊撰文、Hiccup! 出版、Studio Pianpian He and Max Harvey 設計的展覽出版物。

❍ 展覽日期：6 月 11 日至 6 月 21 日，每日 11:00 至 17:00
❍ 開幕茶會：6 月 14 日 14:00 至 17:00
❍ 藝術家：Marta Barrenechea、Priscila Fernandes

ss space space is delighted to announce its inaugural guest project, ‘An Art Fair Booth Outside of an Art Fair’. Curated by I Chien Tang in collaboration with Lisbon-based contemporary gallery dialogue, the exhibition brings together works by Iberian artists Marta Barrenechea and Priscila Fernandes.

Here, an art fair booth is displaced within an artist-run space. By stripping back its structural and political nature, the project loosens the inherent hierarchies and power dynamics of the exhibition format, allowing viewers to become more attuned to their own perception and consciousness.

Marta Barrenechea translates her environmental observations into threadwork. Everyday motifs manifest through embroidery, where an uneven ‘visual tactility’ evokes an embodied connection with the fabric. Meanwhile, Priscila Fernandes’ ‘News Stand’ series captures collective emotions in the face of current events through encaustic and ink. Her work interrogates our media awareness, prompting a deeper reflection on ethics and action. Ultimately, both artists act as conduits between the self and the other, articulating the experience of being ‘present’ in the here and now.

The exhibition is accompanied by a publication featuring essays by , published by and designed by .

❍ Dates: 11 – 21 June, 11:00 – 17:00 daily
❍ Opening Reception: 14 June, 14:00 – 17:00

Home Sweet Home

HUGO DE ALMEIDA PINHO
DIOGO BOLOTA
JOSÉ TABORDA

Concebida para a apresentação da dialogue na montra 5 do El Corte Inglés durante a ARCOlisboa 2026, e inspirada em Philosophy of the Home, de Emanuele Coccia, Home Sweet Home parte da ideia da casa como espaço metafísico que molda a nossa existência, onde seres humanos, objetos e emoções se entrelaçam.

O espaço doméstico surge como um teatro de sombras, um cenário bidimensional onde cinco elementos — entre ferramentas, símbolos, divisórias, acessórios e adereços — se diluem entre si, criando uma identidade partilhada entre os próprios objetos e quem os observa.

Invocando o imaginário de Jacques Tati, com o seu humor visual poético, atento ao detalhe e à subtil sátira da modernidade, a exposição reúne cinco obras de Hugo de Almeida Pinho, Diogo Bolota e José Taborda.

Agradecemos aos artistas, à equipa da ARCOlisboa e ao El Corte Inglês por esta oportunidade.

Conceived for dialogue’s presentation in Window 5 of El Corte Inglés during ARCOlisboa 2026, and inspired by Philosophy of the Home by Emanuele Coccia, Home Sweet Home departs from the idea of the home as a metaphysical space that shapes our existence, where human beings, objects, and emotions intertwine.

The domestic space emerges as a theatre of shadows, a two-dimensional setting where five elements — somewhere between tools, symbols, partitions, accessories, and props — dissolve into one another, creating a shared identity between themselves and those who observe them.

Invoking the imaginary world of Jacques Tati, with its poetic visual humour, attention to detail, and subtle satire of modernity, the exhibition brings together five works by Hugo de Almeida Pinho, Diogo Bolota, and José Taborda.

Our thanks to the artists, the ARCOlisboa team, and El Corte Inglés for this opportunity.

URIEL ORLOW
The Fairest Heritage, 2016–2018
Single-channel video, 5’22’’

Na ARCOlisboa 2026, a dialogue apresenta The Fairest Heritage, de Uriel Orlow — uma obra vídeo que revisita imagens de arquivo ligadas ao Jardim Botânico Nacional de Kirstenbosch, na Cidade do Cabo, interrogando as relações entre memória, colonialismo, botânica e construção histórica.

A partir de filmes realizados em 1963, durante o apartheid na África do Sul, Orlow convoca a presença da atriz Lindiwe Matshikiza para habitar e interromper o arquivo. O seu corpo introduz uma nova leitura nas imagens herdadas, abrindo espaço para narrativas alternativas e formas de justiça reparadora.
