Interferências 2011


INTERFERÊNCIAS – Mostra Pública de Arte é uma intromissão no quotidiano da população dos centros urbanos, que pretende levar ao grande público arte contemporânea através da apropriação de espaços públicos / “não-lugares” e meios associados à comunicação de massas. Os seus eventos assumem, por isso, um carácter generalista, gratuito e massivo.

A exposição de fotografia parte de um motivo: a evocação dos Painéis de São Vicente de Fora, aqui reinterpretados em “versão” fotográfica e reportados à sociedade portuguesa de hoje.


Às propostas de José Luís Neto, José Maçãs de Carvalho e Pedro Cabral Santo junta-se o olhar de fora de Carmela García, Cristina Lucas e Pierre Gonnord, patrocinado pela galeria madrilena Juana de Aizpuru.

Comissariado de André de Quiroga e Nuno Figueiredo.

The Remembrance Day is a moment in time that has become a palindrome memorial. It is observed yearly on November 11th to recall the official end of World War I on 1918. It goes that hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.).

In the UK, the Royal British Legion is the nation's custodian of Remembrance Day, ensuring that people remember those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. The poppy brilliant red colour has become an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

For those living here this dreamland is an imaginary utopian place or situation, or unrealistic ideal world in where dream became reality.

I have been looking for a way to write about the 3000 BC to 2000 BC hanging stones lost in the English county of Wiltshire. All that efforts look unfruitful. Either because of its historical time or just because of its possible histories: the Arthurian legend; UFO's or the Devil; probably the most interesting would be in Stonehenge being a place of healing and its function as a celestial observatory. These colorful stones were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.
