Biography
Vera Mota (Porto, 1982) is an artist whose practice is rooted in performance, sculpture and drawing, and she has regularly presented works in these different areas since 2003. Her work is identified with minimalist principles and contains common traits that point to a conflict between a quest for order and a simultaneous fascination with the possibilities of error and accident, in a constant equation of the participation of the body in her work, where she often questions the conflicting conditions that govern relationships of verticality and horizontality.
Her works have been featured in exhibitions and performance programmes at the Galeria Municipal do Porto and Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art (Porto, Portugal); Matadero (Madrid, Spain); Ireland’s Biennial (Limerick, Ireland), and SESC Belenzinho (São Paulo, Brazil), among others.
