From CAPA to Cabo Mondego

A new beginning in surrealist collaboration

On 15 June 2022, CAPA (Collective Automatic Painting Amsterdam) staged its final performance on the roof of the Fundación Eugenio Granell in Santiago de Compostela, during Rik Lina's "Dragones" exhibition. Together with the Cabo Mondego Section of Portuguese Surrealism, Rik Lina and Jan Giliam created a collective automatic painting.

After this ninth collaboration, they dissolved CAPA and joined the Cabo Mondego Section permanently. Since then, the Cabo Mondego Section has operated in Figueira da Foz (Portugal) and Amsterdam (Netherlands), united by Christian Dotremont's 1948 spirit: "We are working together, we shall go on working together!"
