Ragnar Kjartansson exhibition wraps up in Coimbra with a 48-hour closing party

English version: Diana Taborda

The exhibition “Não sofra mais” (No more suffering), by Ragnar Kjartansson comes to an end with a very special non-stop closing party, starting on the 15th of July at 11:00 AM and ending at 9:02 PM of the 16th, at the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova.

The event offers several special moments, including the concert "I must be the Devil", by the Icelandic artist and musician Kristín Anna, one of the protagonists of "The Visitors" - Kjartansson's iconic play, described by "The Guardian" as "the best contemporary artwork of the 21st century".

The closing party features a concert/performance by António Olaio, featuring Victor Torpedo and also an unreleased video performance by David Fonseca. Music and performances continue late into the night and early morning, with various guests.

A sunset starting at 7pm and ending at 9.02pm closes the event on Sunday, the 16th. The exhibition and visit to the monastery are free but access to the garden - where the performances and concerts take place - will be €5.

About 10,000 visitors have already visited the exhibition, organised by Anozero – Coimbra Biennale of Contemporary Art.
