They took place at C.E.N.T.A (Portugal), in 2007 and at Vila Nova de Cerveira (Portugal), in 2008. The last one was the residence "[Space Between - 03] - A SERIOUS GRAVITY" this was the third meeting in residence for an elastic artistic group of creators of various disciplines, not only for developing experimental procedures but as well to focus on critical analysis of the resulting objects .<br><br><br><br>The theme that motivated the production of these works was the multiple meanings that are present in all that was created during the residence. In this period we were questioned about the use of absolute and unilateral ideas, a process that has developed on the basis of experimentation, observation and decision, through imaging and conceptual dialogue. In this collective process ideas related to the ambiguity, the absurdity, the irony, the consensus inconsistency, guided permanently the production.<br><br>The „Serious" arises mainly as a provocation, which questions the norm, the social and labor organization, the places and the conventional social behavior.<br><br><br><br>This exhibition also introduces the "AVALANCHE" project, promoted and organized by the PISO collective, in which methods of creating with a collaborative purpose will be created and tested. It was also with this guideline that the gallery space was constructed, not merely as place for exhibiting finished works, but also were the display is as important as the videos and, most importantly, a place that was constructed as a work itself that is able to dialog and amplify the videos in a prolific sense that way being able to speak with the public in a less distant way, underlining the specificities of the individual works.<br><br><br><br><u>List of presented works</u><br><br><b>WARRIORS ( 2008)<br> <br> CADEIRAS (2008)<br> <br> CHALVACE (2008)<br> <br> CABELO (2008)<br> <br> ALUMINIUMS(2008)</b><br><br><br><br><u>Participant artists</u><br><br>Alexandre Lemos<br><br>Catariana Miranda<br><br>Carolina Hoffmann<br><br>Francisco Queimadela<br><br>Flávia Vieira<br><br>Filipe Dias<br><br>Lorenzo Sandoval<br> <br>Mariana Caló<br><br>Sara Pereira<br><br>Pedro André<br><font color="#888888"><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>-- <br>PISO<br><br><a style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" href="http://www.opiso.blogspot.com" target="_blank">www.opiso.blogspot.com</a><br>hobrechtstrasse 65, berlin<br><br>if you don't want to receive our mailing list please send us a mail with the words "<b>take me seriously</b>"<br clear="all"> <br> </font></div><br> </div></div></div> </div><div class="Wj3C7c"> </div></div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
