y [why ?] was a collective exhibition which brought together Portuguese artists and designers of the last generation of the 20th century: the so called ‘Generation Y’ or ‘Millennials’. The exhibition was curated by Drumond Frutuoso, and took place at the ground floor of the building ‘Paços do Concelho’, in Porto.
All the participants were given carte blanche in order to develop a body of work that would somehow relate to their experience as part of this generation. On the imposing granite walls we posted three posters that seek to reflect about Millennials’ virtual space and to build a bridge between it, us, the exhibition space and the viewer – a triptych of portals with multiple entries and exits that simultaneously attract and repel the Future.
