“Fábrica de Ossos” is the first solo exhibition by Andreas Fogarasi in Portugal.

Andreas Fogarasi (b. 1977, Vienna) is an Austrian artist who lives and works in Vienna. In his conceptual practice, he engages with architecture, design and urban symbols, as well as with the visible and invisible codings of cultural identity. His works explore how social values, power relations and national self-images are inscribed in forms, surfaces and signs. Fogarasi frequently employs strategies of appropriation, reduction and displacement to render familiar visual systems newly legible.

Andreas Fogarasi was awarded the Golden Lion at the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007) and the Otto Mauer Prize (2016).

His work has been widely presented in solo and group exhibitions at international institutions, including Kunsthalle Wien; Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid; New Museum, New York; MUMOK – Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien; MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles; Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich; Ludwig Forum, Aachen; Museo Tamayo, Mexico City; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; GfZK – Museum of Contemporary Art, Leipzig; CAC Vilnius; Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb; Times Museum, Guangzhou; and Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt am Main, as part of Manifesta 4, among others.
