The cycle Variações Sobre Um Corpo, curated by Shiaron Carolina Moncaleano, the subtext of a larger project born in Lisbon in June 2016 developed by Zaratan in collaboration with Bruno Humberto under the title “Do Liminar”. It is a platform for artistic experimentation that promotes independent research on performance practices in contemporary art. The error, the unexpected and the unfinished find in this project a fertile ground for experimentation and transdisciplinary dialogue through moments that are outside the canonical offer of the art system, helping the reflection between artists and creatives involved in joint research processes. The focus is on the study and the turning of performative techniques through their deconstruction in a continuous interdisciplinary dialogue to discover other possibilities, new deviations. A dynamic that comes to life in the uncertain waters of the unexpected. This series of events will have its plot drawn from the collection of poems that gave the name to this cycle. In fact, the title “Variações Sobre Um Corpo” is taken from the homonymous anthology of contemporary erotic poetry, born from the collaboration of the sculptor José Rodrigues with the poet Eugénio de Andrade, and by by the painter Armando Alves
Each event is characterized by the different form that the artists will take when approaching the theme, using an overwrite maneuver seeking to activate the countless readings of the performative device.
As part of the preliminary and parallel cycle of the performance program, a photographer is invited, in each edition, to create a free translation of the event that takes the form of publication edited on paper.
This program begins with the collective MARIE ANTOINETTE (Mariana Dias Coutinho | António Guimarães Ferreira) and VERA MATIAS SANTA-LÚCIA who, together, will transport the viewer to a dimension consisting of a register of sounds and voices.
