Untitled is the eight edition of Triangle Network (trianglenetwork.org) workshop held in Hangar, Lisbon.
Often it is a title that names works of art and exhibitions: Untitled opens possibilities and assumes a non-name, an endless process of options and creative processes. The intention is that of not imparting an explanation by naming the work so it can speak by itself, open to the diversity of the artists’ practices.
