Ilustrarte 国际童书插画展丨葡萄牙

Ilustrarte展览将国际当代插画的现状精彩地呈现在了人们面前。在这里，不同的类型、技术和主题融合在一起，既有知名艺术家，也有刚刚崭露头角的年轻插画师，反映了宽广丰富的文化背景。

Once again, the Ilustrarte exhibition offers an excellent overview of the current state of international contemporary illustration. A very eclectic mixture of styles, techniques and themes, reflecting a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, well established names alongside with emerging young illustrators.

空间简洁平和，采用标准化的尺度，折纸式的硬纸盒展架高效而泛用，将人们带入Ilustrarte的世界。

Simple and banal, with standard dimensions, efficient and versatile in their origami folds, cardboard boxes transport us in this edition of Ilustrarte.

该短期展览设置在博物馆的白色房间中，堆叠的展架将展览空间变成了一个多层仓库，关闭的盒子中存储秘密，开放的盒子展示图画。

Temporarily installed in the museum’s white rooms, their stacking transforms the exhibition space into a warehouse of stories, storing mysteries in closed boxes and revealing illustrations in open boxes.

借此，硬纸盒作为基本单元填满了整个展览空间，覆盖地板和墙面，形成了一场拥有无限可能的短暂游戏。纸盒实用的中性外观加强了艺术品的主导地位，以连续、重复的形式将作者和他们的书籍组织在房间中，更待参观者去发现。

The cardboard box is, therefore, the base unit that multiplies and fills the entire exhibition, covering floors and walls in an ephemeral game of infinite possibilities. Its utilitarian neutrality reinforces the leading role of the artwork, organizing the authors and their books in continuous repetition and discovery throughout the rooms.

新的硬纸墙面如同未完成的设计，整洁而又不设限制，方便展览方增加或减少盒子，以结束或开始一个新的故事。

The new cardboard walls rise like an unfinished design, as tidy as it is disorganized, where it’s easy to add or subtract boxes, finish a story and start a new one.
