The mission of the Volte Face
is to distinguish contemporary medallic sculpture from the
traditional numismatic format of medal art, as the conventional
obverse/reverse becomes more three- dimensional. After mastering
traditional medallic art techniques, and respecting the medium,
contemporary medalists can freely create a new vision and
expression.
In 2001, Volte Face –
Medalha Contemporânea became an officially recognized
organization at the Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade
de Lisboa.
