CACE Art Gallery

Former Ellipse Foundation, Alcabideche, Cascais

The Ellipse Foundation was conceived in 2004 to house a collection of approximately 900 works of contemporary art, including pieces by artists such as Dan Graham, Olafur Eliasson, Cindy Sherman and Steve McQueen.

The project transforms three existing warehouses into a contemporary art centre, comprising exhibition rooms and galleries, conference and projection spaces, offices, archives and storage areas for the collection.

The exhibition spaces are conceived as flexible environments, allowing their configuration and circulation routes to be adapted to the different installations and interventions developed by the exhibiting artists.

The gallery currently houses the Portuguese State Contemporary Art Collection (CACE).
