A curatorial program set in a home furnishings and clothing store in Viseu, Portugal: Bruno Zhu talks to us about A Maior.

This is the second of three STUDIO episodes in which we talk to artists that run curatorial platforms and artist initiatives about their projects, and the role they play in their own work.

Bruno Zhu (b. 1991, Portugal) is an artist living and working between Amsterdam and Viseu. Ranging from fashion design, publishing and scenography Zhu’s practice is preoccupied with fiction and its manifestations. His work was recently shown at What Pipeline in Detroit (MI), Cordova in Barcelona and HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark in Graz. Zhu is a member of A Maior, a curatorial program set in a home furnishings and clothing store in Viseu, Portugal.

Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee is a radio space for curatorial and artistic practices.
We commission sound and performance pieces, related to the research strands we set for our annual programme. We also host and produce radio shows and podcasts, by and with artists and designers. Our mobile studio has been at academies, biennials and museums. In 2022, we started an artist-in-residency programme.
