Ricardo Valentim (Loulé, Portugal, 1978) is a Portuguese artist based in New York. Since 2006, Valentim has produced graphic materials, including leaflets, brochures, and posters, as part of his film screenings and lecture-based works. This printed matter functions as a supplement to the content conveyed in these screenings and lectures, but it also signifies the transformation of the immateriality of these works into a materialized form. This book gathers all the graphic material produced by the artist over the years, as well as new projects specifically conceived for the exhibition at Serralves. Essays by Ricardo Nicolau (curator of the exhibition) and Isla Leaver-Yap (Walker Art Center's Bentson Visiting Film Scholar).
