CAM Gulbenkian reopens in Lisbon with Kengo Kuma redesign

In September 2024, the CAM (Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian) in Lisbon reopened its doors following a four-year hiatus, thanks to the redesign by architect Kengo Kuma. The revamped structure boasts a new southern entrance adorned with a canopy of white Portuguese ceramic tiles, complemented by a garden designed by Vladimir Djurovich. Inside, the removal of walls allows for ample natural light, while the H-BOX mobile video room features works by Rosa Barba and Cao Fei. Chef André Magalhães oversees the café, and the bookshop offers ceramics by Joana Vasconcelos. Leonor Antunes's installation "La costante disuguaglianza dei giorni di Leonor" is displayed in the original nave. The Engawa Project showcases contemporary Japanese art, including a solo exhibition of Fernando Lemos. The permanent collection, presented in "Tide Line" until May 2026, includes pieces by Hamish Fulton, Monica De Miranda, and Kiluanji Kia Henda, with Gabriel Abrantes's "Bardo Loop" as a standout. An Open Storage program is also offered.
