RTP2 Idents - Expansion of the Artistic Imagination. 

This is a project in which RTP (now on RTP 2), has been developing and investing in a space (curatorship) dedicated to the dissemination of Portuguese Contemporary Art, promoting and proximity to Portuguese plastic artists and musical authors. 

In these small (exclusive) audio-visual pieces of television, they underline the importance of RTP in introducing an artistic discourse in the programming of its second television channel, as a stimulus to experimentation in the field of television arts. 

When programming this project, RTP and RTP 2, this time invited the artist - Pedro Cabrita Reis, one of today's most famous Portuguese artists. Pedro was born in 1956 in Lisbon (where he lives and works). His work has been shown in well established international shows, such as the 9th Kassel Documenta and the 24th São Paulo Bienale. In 2003, he represented Portugal at the Venice Biennale. 

Based on the identity of RTP2, described as culture and adult, based on the number 2 (typographic element of the RTP 2 logo), the artist reinterprets the paintings on glass by the painter Pablo Picasso, expanding them into other imaginary narratives, which reflect the artistic and contemporary of Pedro Cabrita Reis.
