Stress auto-incutido !

No meu bolso, no do lado direito que quando não é de calça de senhora também acomoda o meu iphone 4 agora não S, encontra-se uma lista de afazeres. São afazeres para o dia mesmo e alguns seguintes. Às vezes para vários. Depende daquilo que eu penso que tenho pra fazer. Organizam-se por dias e pelas primeiras coisas que penso que tenho pra fazer. Vão de coisas lhanas a coisas importantes, digo eu.

 A verdade é que, se fossem mesmo importantes, eu de uma lista não precisaria e faria-o sem. Mas eu preciso de organizar as coisas que penso que tenho que fazer para me manter ocupado, é que um cão que corre atrás da cauda pode parecer idiota de quem de fora o vê, mas a sua missão é levada a sério o suficiente para fazer o seu próprio mundo andar à roda.

Residencies over residencies !

I've been working since october in a document that will present a little bit of my first year, nineteen years after the first six here lived, in France! 

Without really having topics to focus on, I'm coming to the conclusion that it will talk a lot about the artist residency and its opposite (that I'm still trying to find out what it is) !

Trying to dance some of the topics in the residence that I will make in Zagreb this summer !

Stay tunned for more infos !

Most should be all !

I was invited by a good friend to make an artistic residency this summer in Zagreb. The residency will focus itself on the city and the ways I can work around it. And, using the fact that I will be in Croatia this summer, she also invited me to participate in the Jelsa Art Bienal that will happen in the island of Hvar, in the south of this country. 

My research for this project started in google maps, giving me a brief eye bird notion from this specific place, this specific island, this specific country and this specific sea. The fact that the place that will host this event is detached from the the continent was what triggered me the most. My idea is to connect both places. The project aims to construct a bridge/pier from the city of Drvenik, in the southern Croatian coast, tho the Hvar nearest tip, the city of Sucuraj. The gao has approximately five kilometers wide and these cities are separetad by a small, calm and warm lenght of the Adriatic Sea. 

This particular project will act as a prototype for o bigger bridge/pier.

 I explain everything here: https://mostshouldbeall.tumblr.com/ and I will update information regularly.

For the residency, I will focus myself and the eventual possibility of doing something tangible there only. I want to enjoy this possibilty to make something that will make sense for me and for the place itself.

Larvas vãs !

Bem, na verdade, se assim a queres mesmo saber,

não há explicação nenhuma.

Se ta dei, em algum momento, foi porque ma pediste.

Na verdade não tem mal nenhum pedires-ma,

tem eu dar-ta,

porque esta não existe,

e eu sei disso

mas sou cobarde para te dizer isso na cara,

para te dizer:

tudo aquilo que faço, aquilo que me faz fazer-me aos poucos, não é mais nada do que isso mesmo,

palavras, 

palavras, 

larvas,

vãs,

que servem para desvendar ainda mais a minha cobardia de não ser capaz de dizer apenas:

não há nada a dizer,

apenas há, e virão, coisas.

As palavras são aquilo que são,

eu não sou mas vou fazendo-me,

não falando.

Street Art, presented the 25th !

 Street Art, in italic. After having the opportunity to work for several nights with two of my favorite artists, I’m here to present this beautiful news: a photography book entitled Street Art, edited and printed by N’importe quoi. After the invitation – to me and to this two full time artists-workers – by this amazing publishing company/project, we had to put ourselves in the right place to make the right project. This book, with a small number of copies, will be presented in the Authors Fair organized by Grémio Caldense next Thursday 25th in Caldas da Rainha (PT). Your more than welcome to find us in the middle of this book, we hope to find you in the middle of this amazing party !We thank Laura Figueiras for the lovely work she did sewing this book !
