STUPIDO 1/1 presents FELIPE PANTONE curated by VHILS

Challenge: STUPIDO was created to unlock and strengthen the innate creativity that lies within us all, aiming to export the concept worldwide.

Insight: Accurate and deep understanding of urban art. Literally. To increase the perception of urban art, living in it.

Idea: The STUPIDO concept comes from the idea of creating a rotating curatorial program, and every year one of the top ten international artists will create an immersive installation called 1/1.

Action: In 2017/18, STUPIDO is curated by Alexandre Farto, aka VHILS, and the art work is signed by the artist FELIPE PANTONE, both considered as two of the best urban art artists in the world. The project was produced by Underdogs gallery and VHILS studio.

The space will always be unique, exclusive and irreproducible, whether it is a nightclub, a skatepark or a hairdresser.

Alexandre Farto aka VHILS: "...The concept of this rotating curatorial program is to invite one artist a year to produce an installation for STUPIDO, in this case the space 1/1, capable of involving the clients to the point of making them part of the work and vice versa. Each artist is challenged to develop an intervention that promotes a strong immersive experience, transforming the bar's physical space into an environment that is fully lived as an artistic work - a work that seduces us, embraces us and makes us all part of a whole that is only complete with our presence..."

A 200m2 space situated in Lisbon’s nightlife center, Cais do Sodré.

It has a musical curation based on HIP-HOP, signed by Fred Ferreira, a Portuguese musician and producer who played with M.I.A, Mallu Magalhães and Caetano Veloso.
