Flash Back - 25 Years of Photography at Ar.Co

As part of the commemorations of Ar.Co’s 25th anniversary, the exhibition “Flash Back - 25 Years of Photography at Ar.Co” takes place in July 1998 at the Municipal Photographic Archive of Lisbon City Council and at the Municipal “Galeria da Mitra”, simultaneously. The show displays 156 works by 32 photographers. Manuel Silveira Ramos, Head of Photography, clarifies in his catalogue text the selection criteria used by the department (which by itself has, at this time, a 350 enrollment count):  ”(...) no classifying and no ranking of genres and authors. Personal projects, experimentations, installations, publicity, documentary, journalism, fashion, set photography and an institutional slideshow will be sharing the same space.” The participants are Adriano Miranda, Alberto Picco, Ana Sousa, António Júlio Duarte, Carlos Azevedo, Céu Guarda, Clara Azevedo, Daniel Blaufuks, Daniel Rocha, Francisco Matias, Pedro Bettencourt, Pedro Ferreira, Henrique Seruca, Isa Dryer Botelho, João Paulo Serafim, João Silveira Ramos, José Luis Neto, Lúcia Vasconcelos, Luís Catarino, Luis Fradinho, Margarida Dias, Mariana Viegas, Miguel Soares, Nicolas Lemmonier, Paulo Pascoal, Ricardo Martins, Rita Castro Neves, Roberto Barbosa, Rodrigo Cabral, Sérgio Mah, Teresa Santos and Valter Vinagre.
