Alex Cecchetti knows that “a story is an object, but one that does not take any space for storage, or not as much as a painting or a sculpture.” Indeed, the story ofMarie and William, a performance by the artist, assumes the shape of a book. The content—photography, drawings, and captions—is stylishly arranged on the pages, visually akin to a collage—scanned, not 3D-printed. The story is rendered flat, but like so many stories captured in surfaces, it deals with movement. Think of a dance manual, or a script made of stills. In fact, does not even know it is a book, it thinks itself to be a record on a turn table.”

SERRALVES FOUNDATION

THE MUSEUM AS PERFORMANCE

FROM 19 SEP 2015 TO 20 SEP 2015

ALEX CECCHETTI, ANASTASIA AX & LARS SILTBERG, ISABEL CARVALHO, KOVÁCS/O’DOHERTY, LORETO MARTÍNEZ TRONCOSO, MARIA HASSABI, MUSA PARADISIACA, NEW NOVETTA, VIVO.

First edition of a new field of programming of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, entitled "Museum as Performance”, which consists of a programme of performances that will take place annually in its various spaces.

This programme recognises the growing importance of the performing arts in the world of contemporary art and contributes to secure the history of Serralves as a pioneering museum in terms of transdisciplinary initiatives, characterised by constant intersections between the visual and performing arts, and the regular presence of leading international figures from the worlds of dance, the performing arts and contemporary music. The invitation to artists to inject life into the museum’s spaces also reflects Serralves’ interest in working with artists whose work responds to its unique architectural context and natural surroundings.

This programme aims to reflect the diversity of current perspectives about current performing arts – from work on language, exploration of the relationship with theatre (through attention to the spoken word, and also incorporation of props), connections and tensions between physical action and drawing or sculpture, questioning of the autonomy of the impacts of a performance as an installation and memory and the long-term construction of relationships with the architectural and acoustical space.

"Museum as Performance” is curated by Cristina Grande, Ricardo Nicolau and Pedro Rocha - who are, respectively, the programmers of dance and performance, the visual arts and music of Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art.

The printing house of hell

Opening Saturday 27 June 2015
Tour guide of heaven and hell at 5pm
Private view 6.30 to 9pm

Exhibition continues to 15 August

Dear William,
The work at the printing house never stops.
When we have ink we find no paper, when we have paper we find no words, when we have words they have no meanings, when we find meanings they make no sense.
All the L's turn out to be noses, all the M's rise up as mountains, Q's are cherries and olives andB's are gorgeous and generous breasts.
We are good for nothing some say, we really are indeed. We cherish it and feed it, pet it and put it to sleep.
Vigil we keep on the working at the printworks of hell, for the mouth of the feral nothing shall not shut all over the earth.

Summer Is Not The Prize of Winter
4-06-2015 ; 7pm 

Summer is not the Prize of Winter est une méditation profonde sur la nature de l'existence et de la capacité du langage, de l’image, et des gestes à incarner les préoccupations essentielles de la vie. Alex Cecchetti crée un environnement de pathos empathique et d'intimité qui valorise la connexion humaine. Créé à l'origine comme un système de poèmes transmis oralement, qui favorise les transformations des formes et des contenus, Summer is not the Prize of Winter est présenté ici pour la première fois dans son incarnation la plus éphémère : à bout de souffle.
