Unpublished poem by Arnaldo Antunes, " Grab Calm" is the artist's most recent calligraphy, a manual and formal technical resource that he frequently uses to draw his poetic works. The fine art print on cotton paper strengthens the tension between visual arts and literature, and the dialogue between the exhibition space and the book. Contrary to the other works presented by the artist in the show, " Agarra Sossega" is being introduced to the public as a work of art, without ever having been published before.
