ENREDOS II: NUNO DA LUZ

24 May - 19 October 2025

For the second edition of Centro Botín’s Enredos programme, Portuguese artist Nuno da Luz presents an atmospheric and poetic interplay between his newly commissioned sound installations and a selection of works from Fundación Botín’s art collection, by artists such as Javier Arce, Katinka Bock, June Crespo & Maddi Barber, Tacita Dean, Asier Mendizabal, Damian Ortega, Leticia Ramos and Jorge Satorre.

Titled Collected Airs, Nuno da Luz´s new series of works is conceived as a collective listening space composed of a growing and evolving ensemble of reverberation units that stretch and sustain any sound they receive in an echo. The analogue effect units stream real-time ambient sound from outside Centro Botín, and later become a timestamp and record of a particular date and time of the day, with its changing weather patterns and unpredictable events. Enredos is an exhibition programme that seeks to support and work closely with artists that have previously received a Fundación Botín Art Grant, who are invited to reengage with the collection, the building and its audiences.

Nuno da Luz (Portugal, 1984) is a sound artist, publisher and researcher whose work circumscribes both aural and visual in the form of installations, performances, and printed matter. Grounded in attentive listening as an eco-sensible methodology, his practice undulates between the ecologies and pedagogies of noise-making and bookmaking.

Curators: Nuno da Luz and Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz

Nuno da Luz (Portugal, 1984) is a sound artist, publisher and researcher whose work circumscribes both aural and visual in the form of installations, performances, and printed matter. Grounded in attentive listening as an eco-sensible methodology, his practice undulates between the ecologies and pedagogies of noise-making, and bookmaking through the publishing collective ATLAS (Lisbon).

Recent projects include solo show ‘Airs’ at Galeria Vera Cortês (Lisbon, 2024); group show ‘Feral Ballads’ at Cité internationale des arts (Paris, 2024); the monograph ‘Poetry as an echological survival’ (Lisbon/Porto: Sistema Solar/UCPress, 2022); and the LP ‘Beasts of Gravity’ in collaboration with Joana Escoval (London: The Vinyl Factory, 2019).
