Tripartite Agreement. Miguel Palma, Rescue Games, 2008. Prospect 1 Biennial in New Orleans.<br />
Amongst the international events for which support was given to Portuguese creators were the art biennials<br />
of Sydney (Australia), New Orleans (usa) and Gyumri (Armenia), the Triennial of Guangdong (China)<br />
and Manifesta – European Biennial of Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> (Italy). Also of significant importance was the<br />
sheer quantity and diversity of the exhibitions of Portuguese artists held at leading international institutions<br />

or the participations in group exhibitions of Miguel Palma, at the Chelsea <strong>Art</strong> Museum (New York),<br />
Gabriela Albergaria, at the Centre National d’<strong>Art</strong> Contemporain Villa Arson (Nice), Alexandre Estrela and<br />
André Guedes, at the Dunkers Kulturhus (Helsingborg, Sweden), and Sancho Silva at the Kunsthalle, Berne.<br />

site-specific installations and intermedia installations, with the successful projects being presented<br />
by Heitor Fonseca, Joana Villaverde, Nuno Delmas, Paulo Raposo and Filipa Raposo (continuation<br />
of the subsidy awarded in 2007, under the scope of the same programme).<br />
