Intervalo is a solo exhibition by Eduardo Matos, presented at the historic Antiga Estação Nova in Coimbra. Through a combination of sculpture, moving image, and drawing, the artist reflects on themes of time, displacement, and the peripheral experience of transit spaces.
Intervalo, an exhibition curated by Jorge Simões, transforms the decommissioned Antiga Estação Nova in Coimbra into a site for reflection on movement, memory, and the physical experience of place. At the heart of the presentation is a video work positioned low on the floor, surrounded by sculptural elements—including clay shapes resembling human lips and feet—which evoke the fragmented nature of transit and the historical human flow of the station. In addition to the sculptures, a research-based archive table displays drawings, process documentation, and various works from the artist's career, highlighting the continuity of his practice. The exhibition acts as a contemplative pause between arrival and departure, inviting visitors to engage with materials, gestures, and the specific atmosphere of this historically significant, now-suspended space.
The exhibition is part of the Verão a Dois Tempos program in Coimbra. Information on guided tours and access can be found via the provided registration link or by contacting the cultural entities involved in the festival organization. Admission details follow general access conditions for the exhibition space within the city's festival program.
