About the Place
This modern complex built from the ground up is based on a design of two interconnected blocks with 50 studios in an L-shape, with two floors in one building and three in the other. The studios for artistic output initially included painting and ceramics work and currently feature visual and film artists. Quadrum was the vision of Dulce d’Agro, one of the most important gallerists in Portugal and responsible for management of this space up until the 1990s. It is recognised as an important space for promotion of all kinds of experimental design, particularly between 1974 and the early 1980s. Since 2010, Quadrum has been managed and programmed by the Municipal Galleries, which are themselves under the management of EGEAC, the company for cultural management in Lisbon, and maintain a mission of disseminating contemporary art.
