event

In May 2017 I participated in the first collective exhibition of Hotel Le Consulat in Lisboa. It was curated by Adelaide Ginga.

“This group exhibition of Portuguese emerging artists aims to present the artistic potential of names that have not yet get into the art market. Meaning, creators in the field of Visual Arts that are not represented by art galleries in Portugal, although they have already a consistent and pertinent work which worth to be known.”

In June 2017 I created Elsewhere, an audio piece, to participate in Schok 2017 (site festival) which happened in Schoorl, Holland.

Seven Elsewhere audio boxes where placed in several public locations of the village and left unattended. Passers-by could pick the headphones and engage with the work. They would hear a binaural recording of a place in Lisboa which was topologically similar to the one they were in. The recorded sounds mixed with the surrounding sounds creating an uncanny sense of displacement.

Castelo D’If organised this collective exhibition to celebrate 7 years of existence of the Aberturas de Ateliers de Artistas. As someone who has always participated in this event, I was invited to exhibit some of my work. The exhibition took place in Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes, in Lisboa, and was open from April 20th to May 6th 2017.

I presented two pieces: a video called Acting Naturally and a photo collage called Lisboa 1962.
