Abstract(s)
Focados na materialidade da arte - no uso transfigurador das matérias -,
examinaremos a estratégia artística associada à Instalação A Terra como Acontecimento
exposta no Museu Amadeo de Souza Cardoso, para pensar novas relações da arte com a
Terra, o horizonte último da experiência Humana. Instalar toneladas de carvões, no raso
do chão/pedra, implica uma ação in situ, experienciando e transformando a especificidade
geográfica, arquitetónica e espiritual do local de acolhimento, num posicionamento onde
a instalação produzida, implica uma espécie de dobrado do espaço-tempo, e a inserção
dos que a visitam cria novas formas de pensar/sentir, politicamente ativas. As matérias
expostas, na sua natureza geológica de substância, dotadas de uma histórica singular, que
liga o carvão à exploração mineira e à produção de energia, base da industrialização
moderna. Esse carvão negro e frio, sendo o efeito do trabalhar milenar da natureza,
contem invisivelmente energia e luz que pode ter usos mais humanos - uma energia que
alimente a vida e a ilumine. Daí a introdução de matérias lumínicas-néons, que parecem
posicionar-se nas antípodas do carvão, soterrados nessa matéria bruta, deixam emergir
outras formas de luz e permitem outros destinos para as matérias/territórios.
Focused on the materiality of art - the transfiguring use of materials - we will examine the artistic strategy associated with the installation The Earth as Event exhibited at the Amadeo de Sousa Cardoso Museum, in order to think about new relationships between art and the Earth, the ultimate horizon of human experience. Installing tonnes of charcoal in the shallows of the ground/stone implies an action in situ, experiencing and transforming the geographical, architectural and spiritual specificity of the host site, in a position where the installation produced implies a kind of folding of space-time, and the insertion of those who visit it creates new, politically active ways of thinking/feeling. The materials on display, in their geological nature of substance, are endowed with a unique history that links coal to mining and energy production, the basis of modern industrialization. This cold, black coal, being the effect of nature's millennia-long work, invisibly contains energy and light that can be put to more human uses - energy that nourishes life and illuminates it. Hence the introduction of luminous materials-neons, which seem to be positioned at the antipodes of coal, buried in this raw material, allowing other forms of light to emerge and other destinations for the materials/territories.
