Exhibition (2023)

From 10 May to 9 of June, the Library of Belém hosted my exhibition "Femanoid". It was literally a "stairwell exhibition" where I presented a series of linoleum drawings handmade by me from my broader artistic project with the same name.
The Belém Library is a public library installed in an 18th century palace with a reading room named after Ana de Castro Osório (1872-1935), a Portuguese writer, republican and feminist.

Eleven Femanoids welcomed visitors and the users of this municipal library while speculating with humor about the situation of women, historically subject to structural processes of dehumanization. 

Who are the Femanoids? (2023)

I brought four Femanoids to public during the parade of the 49th anniversary of the 25 of April 1974, at Av. da Liberdade, in Lisboa, Portugal.

O Tripeiro (2022)

I was invited by Francisco Laranjo (1955-2022) to do a cover for the century-old magazine O Tripeiro, published by the Comercial Association of Porto, in Portugal. I decided to do a screenshot that includes my website. Bellow a text that helps contextualise my choice for this cover, published in the same issue:

Screenshot of sofiaponte.net, marianarosa.com, headlesswomeninpublic.art, yugahatta.com, quandoeugritoquemmeouve.art,
gustavoromeiro.com.br, auroradoscampos.com
and clairesivier.com on the 2022-08-30 at 13.19.07
for the cover of the September issue of 2022 of O Tripeiro
:

With the popularisation of the World Wide Web in the 1990s, some artists began to distance themselves from traditional modes of creation by working with this apparently more democratic channel of communication as a means of artistic experimentation and affirmation of autonomy, but also as a way to critical reflect on current affairs. Presently, for some artists, cyberspace is an opportunity for creative experimentation, for structured dissemination of their activities without intermediaries, to keep contact up to date, or to prevent abuses of their copyright, but not only. Although the .com domain prevails, aimed mainly at commercial activities, there are increasing records of other types of more ambiguous initiatives, designated as .com, .net, .art, as well as .pt, or .org, for instance. It is in this context that the screenshot presented on the cover of O Tripeiro appears, a reflection of the l’air du temps, of art and of some current art practices.

A screenshot is an image of data displayed on a computer screen, mobile device or game console. The way content appears on a screen depends mainly on the electronic device, the operating system and the version of one’s browser. A screenshot can therefore be useful when one needs to show something that would otherwise be difficult to explain in words, for example reporting an error. By using a screenshot there is less chance of being misunderstood. A screenshot is generally used to record exactly what one is seeing on a screen in order to share with others, have as a reference, archive a web page before an update, or document a moment of a video game competition. The data gathered in this screenshot refers to artists and designers responsible for projects of various kinds. All have in common links, past or present, to the School of Fine Arts of the University of Porto and the city of Porto, and their online presence mirrors their physical presence in the world.

Femanoids (2022-2024)

This is a series of mix-media works (photography, drawing and performance) that speculates about identity stereotypes and cultural pressures women face daily. Femanoid reflects about how the concept of gender has been changing and, more recently, how has it been subject to such intense controversy. Femanoid is formed by the combination of the noun “fema” and the adjective “humanoid”, the latter used to indicate something that resembles a human. It is also a nonsense name that makes me think about the sometimes redundant meaning-making processes that categorise women’s look, ideas, behaviours and interests.

 

Oceans Trophy (2022)

I designed and produced a trophy for the winner of the Oceans category in the Wiki Loves Earth Portugal 2022 photography contest, organized by Wikimedia Portugal (WMPT), the Portuguese chapter of Wikimedia Foundation.

The trophy is made of two main elements: a medallion of recycled plastic (nylon) part of abandoned fishing nets taken from the Portuguese coast. The center of this medallion is filled with a high relief  shape of a coral also made of recycled plastic. The second element of the trophy is a walnut wood stand. American walnut wood is generally used in exquisite furniture and is much appreciated for its density, strength, veins, and color. This fragment was provided and prepared by Álvaro Cardoso, an expert in wood who collects scraps with which he creates delicate furniture.

The making of this trophy was part of a partnership between WMPT, fablab_lisboa, and Zero p.

The Book Dispersed (2017)

group exhibition by Unstable Media 

This international group show curated by Unstable Media established a space for practitioners to come together, read, think, and discuss aspects of contemporary visual culture, i.e., the rich and diverse methods found in books produced by artists. In the 1960´s and 1970´s artists’ books came to be seen as an alternative, democratic platform largely free from commercial and/or institutional control, which could be accessed in the private sphere. With the rapid development of digital technology and the consequent rise of the internet one might have expected the book to have become less relevant as an artistic medium, yet this has not come to pass. That digital technology has made it easier and less costly for artists to produce and distribute their work worldwide is certainly a contributing factor, but given its creative potential, couldn’t the artists’ book also provide a format that not only challenges exhibition norms, but actually expands its horizons?

Unstable Media was founded in 2015 by Ana Carvalho, Margarida Carvalho, Sofia Ponte and paula roush. It is dedicated to the organization of art exhibitions related to digital media, editing, performance, and participation that comment on the complexity of the contemporary moment.

Participants: Beatriz Albuquerque, Patrícia Almeida & David-Alexandre Guéniot, Ana Alvim, Isabel Baraona, Ricardo Basbaum, Stanislav Brisa, Jessica Brouder, Catarina F. Cardoso, Isabel Carvalho, Paulo Catrica, Julie Cook, Ana Efe, Os Espacialistas, Inês M.

It took place between September 23rd and October 28th 2017 at Casa das Artes and Sput&nik The Window, Porto, Portugal.

Do it Yourself (2016)

group exhibition by Unstable Media 

This exhibition joins Portuguese speaking artists to focus on the notions of work of art, museum object and participation. We understand that curation has the potential to engage visitors in an experience that challenges their expectations about the representation of art. Thus, we propose that in addition to the instructions that are gathered here, visitors experience different concepts of works of art, showing how the norms and conventions of exhibitions vary in relation to the concept of art in which one is present.

Do it Yourself – Art by Instruction is curated by the art group Unstable Media, founded in 2015 by Ana Carvalho, Margarida Carvalho, Sofia Ponte and paula roush. It is dedicated to the organization of art exhibitions related to digital media, editing, performance, and participation that comment on the complexity of the contemporary moment.

Participants: Lívia Flores, Mónica de Miranda, Daniel Moreira, Susana Pedrosa, Inês Ponte, Patrícia Portela, João Ricardo, paula roush, Luísa Salvador, Susana Mendes Silva, Adriana Tabalipa, Rui Torres e Nuno Ferreira, Marta Wengorovius.

It took place between April 17 to May 21, 2016 at Sput&nik The Window, Porto.

Debutants ball series (2014)

The debutante ball is a traditional rite of passage, in certain social classes, to which teens girls are subject. It means that they participate in a party that marks the start of their adult life. It seems an innocent celebration but many times it also means that they are literally thrown to a succession of events that will change their lives in unexpected ways.

Device Medi(t)ation (2012)

A journey of passion, meditation and creativity w/ Joana Mourão 

A temporary urban intervention designed to develop a critical experience of the everyday life of the city of Guimarães, Portugal. The project aims to provide a creative experience of the public realm by questioning models of representation and perception of collective heritage.

Three rotating metal structures – The new stations of the cross – depict a performative relationship with the body in public. All three structures differ in the architecture and context of use, covering a broad spectrum of performers and spectators. Those who pass by or attend each site are challenged to participate and act on the flow that their urban performance generates.

Daydreaming in Public (2009)

w/ Tiago Pereira

Daydreaming in Public is a short-film that brings an insight to art boundaries and artists’ participation in contemporary society. It combines the work of artist Sofia Ponte with Tiago Pereira visualist practice. The authors reflect on the role of art in understanding the specific conditions of the emerging 21st century city.

Working Unit (2008, 2014)

This daydreaming device can be used in an individual way but also in a collective playful way. As much as it is perceived for facilitating immediate physical relief, it also supports awaken activities such as reading, writing, and daydreaming. The performative feature of Working Unit, a desk that conceals a red mechanical pillow board inside its tabletop, is released when its user starts turning a hidden knob elevating, at adjustable heights, a comfy pillow that allows rest or sleep.

Daydreaming Devices have various key features: they are both utilitarian and emotional objects; their acceptance depends on the user’s adoption of the visual metaphor they express; they reach their maximum potential when activated in a group of people; they attempt to affect an understanding of the awaked life.

Dreaming Lounge (2007-2008)

This daydreaming device can be used in an individual way but also in a collective playful way. As much as it is perceived for facilitating immediate physical relief, it also supports awaken activities such as reading, writing, and daydreaming. The performative feature of Dreaming Lounge, designed for the reading room of Barker Engineering Library, at MIT, is activated when pulling a handle on the right side of the chair bed, that converts the chair in a bed, while releasing a blue canapé protecting the user’s upper body from exterior elements such as light and sound.

Daydreaming Devices (2007-2014)

I initiated this project during my studies at the Visual Arts Program (VAP), current Art, Culture and Technology Program (ACT), at the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006-2008), USA. Under the umbrella of the concept of Daydreaming in Public I have created participatory art and design objects that mostly stage sleep and rest in public. They are praising public space as one of the prime sites for Daydreaming Together, construct and communicate world views, in ways that aim to amplify our understanding of the waken life.

Portraits of João dos Santos w/ Tiago Pereira

This video-documentary gathers documentation and testimonies related to the thought and activity of Portuguese psychiatrist João dos Santos (1913-1987). It explores sound and visual language to create an audiovisual document that is also an artwork. Inspired by the radio programmes authored by psychiatrist João Sousa Monteiro and João dos Santos, and broadcasted by Rádio Comercial in the 1980s, the film breaks down key concepts on child development and society, constant interests of João dos Santos. The video has a documental character, because it is about a man, and an artistic character because it is a product of culture, that reflects on various aspects of the human condition.

While Robert Morris is Asleep (2005)

A serie of photographs taken at a vacant lot in the periphery of Lisbon, that represent some of the overlapping values produced by the fast changes that was being felt at the time in Portugal, on the verge of the opening of the first IKEA store in the country.
The landscape is populated by a female dreamy like character who embodies the male character of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499) a restless young adult looking for love while overcoming all sorts of architectural forms and beasts. This work also pays homage to conceptual artist Robert Morris, who delve so well the idea of theatricality.

Shipwreck (2005)

w/ José Carlos Teixeira

This site-specific video-installation reflects on the emotional states of fragility, isolation, and solitude. Two video-projections, one of a woman and another of a man in wet clothes diametrically opposed to one and other, representing the space of exhibition, the Sala do Veado (deer room) at the Museum of Natural History of the University of Lisbon, Portugal. The images are mirroring each other and bringing to the center of the room the visitor and the psychological density of the video characters entangled on the borders between reality and fiction.

I was one hour quiet and one hour silent (2001)

Site-specific audio-visual installation at Gás Rápido warehouse, Porto.

I experiment with the concept of sculptural production beyond its most obvious materiality. At the time, this warehouse had several orange gas canisters stored in metal structures placed in an open space surrounded by trees, wind, birds and a creek. I created a soundtrack combining sounds of gas leaking and burning gas in a repetitive minimalist way. This sound could be accessed through three audio stations placed along the main metal structure. In this circumstances visitors were invited to experiment samples of the concept of “natural” and of the concept of “artificial”.
The artwork explores the tension between a seemingly harmless landscape, such as the one physically surrounding this warehouse, and the invisible contained gas ready and waiting for an opportunity to burn.

Self-Portrait (2001)

This self-portrait offers an insight into the understanding of my early 20’s, a suspended building with several seemingly antagonistic chambers. This object has a three-dimensional quintessence difficult to define in a permanent way. It is a drawing project that also contributes to the endless problematic of identity issues through self-representation.

Drawings and Illustrations

Drawing is one of the things that really inspires me. I experiment, depict details, turn around ideas and ruminate in thoughts. I see things through different lenses. It makes me look at the familiar in refreshing ways. I enjoy so much the time I spend drawing. It is never time wasted.

Net Art and the missing percent at traditional museums of art in Portugal

Academic essay, in Proceedings of EVA London 2024

I reflect about the absence of Net Art in traditional museums of art in Portugal. I present the interesting case of Museu do Chiado – the National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC) first website and the online gallery Site- Specific created along with it, in the early 2000s. I then provide a context to the initial technoculture environment in the country and problematise the “gap of institutional invisibility” that the only interactive and generative artwork commissioned by the museum has fallen.

Hypotheses of a further away infinite: the FBAUP and Porto

Essay, in magazine Crónicas das Artes – Contemporânea, 2018

Curator, and editor of this magazine issue, Antonia Gaeta, proposed to a few experts to consider the concept of “Hypothesis”. I organised some ideas about the relationships between the School of Fine Arts of the University of Porto and the city of Porto, formulating the hypothesis, and demonstrating it, that both have benefited from each other’s action in an increasing way.

Credulous map, cruel reality, woman artist

with Mariana Morais. Essay, in Jornal Punkto, 2018

This essay focuses on the Public Art Map of Porto, published in July 2017. This printed map distributed for free by its promoter, the Porto City Council, brings together a significant set of sculptures, monuments, panels, and murals installed since the 19th century. Given that mapping any dimension of reality is often a challenge, what portions of the city of Porto do we see represented here? What value systems does this map seek to organise? This reflection problematizes the reduced participation of women artists in the Porto’s public art scene and hopes to contribute to a questioning of the presumed neutrality of this type of documents.

Unstable Media, constructions and disruptions

with Margarida Carvalho and Ana Carvalho. Essay in Portuguese Small Press Yearbook 2017

Unstable Media is an art group that acts through variable means subjected to disappearance. The group focus on contemporary art practices, the classes each member prepares and teaches (we are all university lecturers) and the various projects they take part in.

As a group, our activity focuses on developing participatory art and curatorial strategies, seeking not only to generate but also to investigate the complexity of these relationships. Our starting point calls for the study of exhibition, documentation, and archive models.  To this day we have been able to take advantage of our different viewpoints constructively.

Functional Art on Display in the Age of Technoculture: Reflections on the Demodernisation Process of the Museum Context

Academic essay, in Conference Proceedings of the International Conference Public Art in the Digital Creativity Era, 2017 

This essay reflects on the exhibition of Functional Art in the technoculture era. Functional Art is an art segment related to the Socially Engaged Art phenomenon, a more recent typology of Public Art. Technoculture refers to the wide implementation of the digital technological phenomenon to the activities that surround us. The way Functional Art brings together various art practices, and the unstable nature of the artworks produced as museum objects, seem to be dominant reasons for creating challenges to conventional display.

Contemporary (public) art in museums

Academic essay, in Conference Proceedings of the International Conference Musealization Processes, 2015

This essay focus on the transfer of meanings between works of art in their original iteration and as museum objects. To reflect on what such displacement implies, I bring together concepts of public art and discuss ideas about the institutional framework of an object of art. Focusing on the work of art paraSITE (1998-ongoing) by Michael Rakowitz, based on a portable shelter for homeless people distributed across several cities in his home country, and subsequently presented in various museological contexts, this article shows how the musealization of contemporary (public) artworks requires the design of contextualization strategies from the museum of art curatorial team. This argument is developed by discussing the strategies used in the exhibition Beyond green: towards a sustainable art (2005) curated by Stephanie Smith, where paraSITE was one of the works displayed.

How does street art survive in museums?

Academic essay, in Conference Proceedings of the International Conference Street Art and Urban Creativity, 2014

paraSITE is an artwork by Michael Rakowitz, that consists of a portable shelter for homeless people that has been distributed to over 30 people in several cities in the USA, since 1997, and has been presented in temporary exhibitions since 1999. I use this political work of art to discuss my current understanding of how complex is the (re)presentation of works of art created for the public space at temporary exhibitions in museums of art.

The drawing of Daniel Silvestre da Silva in his solo show Orbital Panorama 1998-2013 at Sput&Nik The Window

Essay, in Rua de Baixo, 2013

Panorama Orbital: 1998-2013 is an exhibition that has a retrospective mood. This essay describes some of the nuclei of the many drawings by Daniel Silvestre da Silva. Considering that displaying is not a simple and uncompromising action, in this exhibition one can meditate on hierarchies, relationships and narrative structures of what is being shown, replicated, and observed.

About a state of transition

Essay, in Artecapital, 2007

An essay about the project “Maison Tropicale” by Ângela Ferreira at the Portuguese Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale, in 2007. Ferreira’s exhibition consisted of a large sculptural object in aluminum, wood and iron complemented by a set of photographs of Jean Prouvé’s project Maison Tropicale installed inside the Fondaco Marcello. The sculptural object defines a penetrable space which seems to evoke a kind of container ship that has not delivered what it should have, leaving open the paths through which one transits from colonialism to a work of art, from a house to an artefact, from Africa to the Western world.

Musealizing Functional Art

Book chapter, 2015

This essay discusses the exhibition of functional art, using ‘paraSITE’ (1998) by Michael Rakowitz as an example, through the concept of ethnographic object by anthropologist Joaquim Pais de Brito, and the concept of remain by curator Marie Brugerolle. I suggest that ethnography helps to understand the meaning(s) of ‘functional artworks’ in the context of museums.
