Tracks and Reminiscence #1

English: It’s funny how lately it’s been more difficult to organize my thoughts, to  sit down and write in here. I feel my heart tighter, it seems that sometimes I indulge myself in anxiety for future, an anxiety of returning to Brazil in few weeks and making plans for a month or a year- it’s  hard to…

Lecture: Jo Love

English: The talk with the artist Dr. Johanna Love "Jo Love" was very inspiring. She was invited to speak about her research and practice (practice  base  research) based on her artwork. However, she ended up talking much more about perception changes, new ways to look at art, memory and time. It’s funny how some speakers…

Have fun getting LOST

English: Art in the digital environment elusive taxonomies   At our last meeting, Jonathan bombarded us with information about possible organizations, taxonomies related to digital in the context of contemporary art. The act of making art  in a digital environment. To me, it was as if I had stepped into a parallel universe. I had just…

Lecture: Paul Coldwell

English:    Unfortunately I wasn’t  present at the incredible class that the artist / researcher Paul Coldwell gave, so I watched a similar youtube lecture that happened one year prior to the course. After talking with some colleagues I already had an idea about the issues addressed by him in his work however, it was…

Group Crit #1

English: Your work is to make your work In this Tuesday, at the regular time of our traditional meeting we did a different dynamic- we had the first opportunity to present our case and our embryonic ideas to colleagues, with an exchange of experiences and references. I think I'm in the process of getting comfortable…

Autumn

English: Am I doing it right thing exposing my real anguish and my personal life here on this site? When I compare myself with others I get a little afraid that this site is becoming more like a personal diary than an artistic record. Since I began to identify myself as an artist I am…

King of wands

English: King of Wands 03.10-16.10.2016 I must admit that I get a little lost when I read the minor arcana cards,  however, on the night that the King of Wands appeared I felt that I should take extra time with him, to understand it better, creating  a closer relationship with the card and it’s energy. The…

Blind self-portrait #3

  English: Drawings between days 03.10-16.10.2016 Here is another batch of blind self-portraits. I have to admit that these drawings have left me a little frustrated. The drawings were done in the average time of 1 minute and 30 seconds, in which I empty my mind- I feel that I am not able to concentrate…

Consciousness

English: On the ride to Liverpool, Jonathan took us visited the Crosby Beach and see live installation Another Place by British artist Antony Gormley. The installation consists of 100 sculptures made of iron from an artist's body cast and they are scattered across the beach to the sea. The artwork is magnificent, but what caught…

Liverpool Biennial 2016

English: On 13 and 14 October we coincidentally entered the same train car that Jonathan was traveled together to Liverpool. We went there especially for the Biennial 2016, that spread throughout the city, so it was two days of wandering immersed in art, discussions, questions and reflections. I am writing this post one week after the…
