My House, My Vessel
O que significa chamar um lugar de "casa"? E quando essa casa nunca foi vivida, mas apenas sonhada? Neste episódio do nosso podcast, entramos no universo sensível da exposição My House, My Vessel, do artista Alejandro Manzano, para explorar a casa como recipiente – físico, emocional, e profundamente simbólico.
Juntam-se à conversa convidados especiais de diversas áreas, para refletir sobre temas como a memória herdada, a idealização do lar, e o impacto da perda e da ausência na construção do espaço doméstico. Falamos da nostalgia de um lugar nunca habitado, das palavras dos avós e da forma como os espaços, moldam e são moldados, por quem os imagina e habita. Uma conversa íntima e provocadora sobre o que fica quando a casa deixa de ser lugar e passa a ser lembrança. Porque, afinal, será que habitamos as casas, ou são elas que nos habitam?

The Opportunity of Monstrosity
A conversation between Jonathan Mosley and arts-based research collective The Third Thing (Nithya Iyer and Vlad Mizikov), this talk is focussed on a short video work entitled 'An Experiment in Intervals III - Violet Desert', made on-site at the former Companhia União Fabril industrial plant in Barreiro, Portugal. Using performance and image, the work explores how bodily interventions can allow for alternative readings of sites of 'monstrous architecture'. As such, the conversation commences from Georges Bataille's reflection on the architectures of modernity - the smokestack, the freeway, the industrial plant - as representing a 'disorder under god', or a 'monstrous' apparition. It also draws on the work's reference to Michelangelo Antonioni's 1964 film Il Deserto Rosso (Red Desert) and its relevance to contemporary critiques of capitalist ideology.
An Experiment in Intervals III - Violet Desert, is accessible for public viewing here until 31st of July 2024.

What is autonomous from practice? This exhibition is a look at the boundary between art and architecture, where these questions are raised. Today we have with us Filipa Oliveira e Filipe Magalhães, that bring us an inside view about Filipe Paixão work.
