Miguel Palma: man, machine and motion: night, night, Mr Tenjag

This is a publication from the 2010 Jaguar Project exhibition at the Mead Gallery in Coventry.

The exhibition at the Mead Gallery at Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry included Palma’s drawings about cars and technology, archive material from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Centre in Browns Lane, Coventry, as well as film of Palma’s Jaguar’s journey home to Coventry.

Miguel Palma is recognised as one of the most significant artists living in Portugal today and has played a key role in the developing profile of contemporary Portuguese art. He has had a number of substantial exhibitions both in Western Europe and in the US and a major monograph was published about his work in 2005. His work is represented in the main public collections in Portugal and he has been invited to participate in the “warm up residencies” in New York in 2010 which will lead into the Harlem Biennial of 2011.
