Developed within the context of The Studio project at Underdogs Gallery, Transition was hand-finished by ±MaisMenos± (Miguel Januário) during his residency.

Built from a shared printed base, each edition was individually intervened upon through the addition of coloured linear lines inspired by the visual language explored throughout the residency. Applied directly by the artist, these markings shift position from print to print, creating subtle variations across the edition.

Created in parallel with a body of work developed through drawing, text, and moving image, the edition reflects the reduced and contrast-driven visual approach that characterises the artist’s practice, where clarity and ambiguity coexist within the same compositional structure.

“Freedom is absolute in the relativity of time and space.” In this edition, Miguel Januário transforms the format of an eye chart into a layered reflection on perception — visual, political, and historical. As the letters shrink line by line, so does the idea of freedom itself, becoming increasingly narrow, distant, and harder to hold onto. Released on the occasion of 25 April, the anniversary of Portugal’s Carnation Revolution of 1974, the editions revisit the ideals of revolution through a lens of doubt and critical observation.These works are part of ±MaisMenos±, Januário’s long-standing project that uses minimalist language and bold contradictions to expose social and political paradoxes. Operating between public space, activism, and contemporary art, his practice turns language into a site of tension — and clarity into critique.The editions are available in two formats: a large, limited edition and a smaller open edition. When purchasing the large one, the smaller is included — a gesture of sharing and accessibility that reflects the artist’s belief in the circulation of ideas.
