Located in the historic centre of Lisbon since 2000, Perve Galeria presents exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, promoting the concept of Global Art, and incorporating authors from various backgrounds and artistic languages, such as the visual arts, music, poetry, cinema, interactive multimedia and performance. Throughout the years it has participated in several important art fairs such as Frieze Masters, ARCO Lisboa, 1-54 London and New York, Art Dubai, Abu Dhabi Art, London Art Fair, India Art Fair, and FIG Bilbao, where it was awarded the prize for best exhibitor in 2022.
Since the late 1990s, Perve Galeria has been building the vast collection devoted to modern and contemporary art from the Portuguese-speaking countries named “Lusofonias / Lusophonies”. The Collection aims to produce interactions and merge the gap between Africa, Middle East, South America and Asia, and was already presented in various countries, such as India, Portugal, Senegal, and Turkey.
In 2013 the gallery launched a museological space in Lisbon, named Freedom’s House – Mário Cesariny, that pays homage to this fundamental Portuguese poet and surrealist painter. It hosts an artistic legacy bequeathed by Cesariny and a collection devoted to Portuguese Surrealism and Experimental Art.
It also manages the gallery aPGn2 - a PiGeon too, located in Alcântara, which can be visited by appointment, and, defending the accessibility of artistic-cultural projects and the understanding of art as an essential good, it opened, in 2022, the outdoor contemporary art space 27ARTe, accessible 24h/7, in Alfama.
