NOW ON VIEW: “THE STUDIO” EXHIBITION + MYSTERY EDITIONS REVEAL! → On view until tomorrow, 16 May → Unique pieces and editions available online for LIMITED TIME ONLY: link in bio 👉 @underdogs_gallery After five weeks of residencies inside the gallery, “The Studio” now opens its final exhibition at Underdogs Gallery. Bringing together new works by @pedritastudio @tamara_aalves @nunoviegas.pt @maismenos and @wastedrita , the exhibition reflects a creative process built through proximity, experimentation, and the public visibility of artistic practice. The mystery editions developed throughout the programme have now also been fully revealed and are available online. Hand-finished by the artists during their residencies, the editions extend the logic of the project itself – where repetition, variation, and process remain visible within each work. – 📸: © Chris Costa – Partner: @camara_municipal_lisboa / @galeria_de_arte_urbana Sponsor: @jopinto.tintas Official Mobility Partner: @smart_worldwide #underdogsgallery #artresidency #thestudio

Nessa sexta, dia 17, às 19h, haverá a abertura da terceira edição da vitrine Surplus, no subsolo da Galeria Metrópole. Wasted Rita apresenta a instalação inédita Real Estate Real State. A obra utiliza a linguagem visual de agências imobiliárias, como slogans, tipografias assertivas e promessas de futuro, para deslocá-los de sua função original. Em vez de anunciar propriedades e metragem, ela insere no espaço da vitrine mensagens que tensionam ideias de pertencimento, circulação e valor. O texto que acompanha a intervenção é de João Simões. Apoio: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian Após a abertura, às 22h, teremos uma after party na Void, com EPX, Maïa (Ternura), Miss Tacacá, K.hole Kardashian (Ternura) e 21 (Dance Machine). 📍 Vitrine Surplus – Galeria Metrópole, subsolo Av.

INTRODUCING “The Studio” 🖌️ A five-week programme at @underdogs_gallery , bringing together @pedritastudio , @tamara_aalves , @nunoviegas.pt , @maismenos and @wastedrita . Each week, one artist takes over the gallery, transforming it into a working studio open to the public, where you can closely follow the creative process and meet the artists. Unique artworks will be developed on site. The process will remain visible, in progress, and subject to change. Alongside these residencies, five mystery editions will be released on 8 April. Their compositions will remain undisclosed at launch, and will be revealed at the opening of the final exhibition. Developed in parallel to the residencies, these editions are intervened upon by the artists throughout their time in the space, in direct dialogue with the works produced on site. 👉 Exhibition presenting the final results OPENING 15 May, 2026. – 🎥: @filetess – #underdogsgallery #artresidency #newedition #thestudio

Desperate Times, 2025 105x116x5cm Unique piece Available DM or email for inquiries

This year I had the honor to create a piece for the emblematic Fundação de Serralves Park (Porto, PT) as part of BOIL festival, curated by Patricia Craveiro Lopes, who challenged me to think about climatic change and future. The piece is still on view at the Serralves Park until further notice. “For BOIL, the Portuguese artist, who calls herself a “born agent provocateur,” created a suspended piece, specially commissioned for the Casa do Cinema Manoel de Oliveira. It’s a six-meter-wide billboard with a phrase cut into mirrored dibon, where matter renews itself, turning into language. HOW MANY UNCERTAIN OUTCOMES CAN THE SKY HOLD? is a question thrown with provocation. Seeing our image reflected in the mirror, we’re urged to pause and face our own existence: an existence suspended, just like the installation, between the ground slipping from under our feet and the sky about to vent above our heads. At the same time, the uncertainty in the question holds a possibility of overcoming that pushes us to react. It’s in this semiotic duality that the work grows, cutting across the intimate, the collective, and the mystical. The piece, then, suggests a pause-in-action. It suspends the flow of time, giving us a place where we’re allowed to speculate, intuit, and doubt. It summons the real, in equal parts discomfort and enchantment, to guide us through other alternative realities.” Patricia Craveiro Lopes
