The solo exhibition by Robert Wiley, Professor at NOVA FCT and researcher at VICARTE, explores sculpture, glass, and the relationship between art, science, and the cultural heritage of tomorrow.

On 7 November 2026, Galeria Imargem, in Almada, hosted the opening of “Que me Prenda”, a solo sculpture exhibition by American artist Robert Wiley, Professor at the Department of Conservation and Restoration (DCR) at NOVA FCT and researcher at VICARTE – Glass and Ceramics for the Arts.

Living and working in Portugal, Robert Wiley has developed his artistic practice at VICARTE for the past 11 years, focusing on glass as a medium for experimentation and expression at the intersection of art and science. His work raises questions about the value of objects and materials, inviting reflection on what may become the cultural heritage of tomorrow.

The opening brought together visitors and representatives of local authorities, including the Municipality of Almada and local parish councils, celebrating the artist’s work and its connection to the local cultural community.

“Que me Prenda” is on view until 25 November 2026 at Galeria Imargem, Almada.
