ETERNO Launches in Lisbon with Vhils' 'Threshold' Exhibition
The new phygital gallery is staged in Marvila, Lisbon’s neighborhood on the rise.
Summary
- ETERNO, a new phygital gallery, has opened in Marvila, Lisbon.
- The gallery is currently hosting Threshold, a new exhibition by acclaimed Portuguese artist Vhils, now on view through August 2.
- Spanning two floors, the show features a selection of physical and digital works to view and collect, marking a new era in the artist’s “LAYERS” project.
ETERNO is the latest digital-first art addition to Lisbon’s up-and-coming Marvila district, and to celebrate the gallery is playing host to a new phygital exhibition by the acclaimed Alexandre Farto, better known as Vhils.
Titled Threshold, the exhibition marks a new chapter in the Portuguese artist’s ongoing “LAYERS” project. Unfolding across two floors, the exhibition toes the line between destruction and creation, visibility and erasures – just a few of the tensions that undergird the artist’s practice. On the upper floor, viewers will encounter a blend of billboard-based works, prints and generative pieces, while video projections downstairs stage a more immersive experience.

In addition to viewing physical artworks, Threshold offers the opportunity to digitally collect works through the ETERNO’s online platform. Supported by Cultural Affairs and VIC Properties, ETERNO was founded in 2021 to explore the evolving relationship between art and technology – from curating exhibitions to hosting NFT drops and immersive experiences.
Threshold is now on view in Lisbon through August 2. Head to the platform’s website for more information.
