"Still(s) - trying to change" is a cycle of 3 performative
exhibitions presented only during the opening <br>
day, at <b>POSTE</b>. This platform, created by the Portuguese artist Teixeira Barbosa
and supported by the <br>
non-profit Foundation Extéril based in Porto, aims to promote the dissemination
of video art.<br>
For this cycle of 3 one-day-video-related performances I´m curating for POSTE
(July, September and <br>
November 2014), I decided to invite 3 artists working with different
medias/mediums, and challenge them <br>
to present a video loop created from still images and show in this 7''
"screen-sculpture-POSTE" along <br>
with a 1h-2h durational performance related to the content of the images shown.<br>
<br>
<br>
The first invited artist is Beatriz Albuquerque, an interdisciplinary and cross
media performance artist <br>
living between Porto and New York. <br>
In "Predict the Future through Chocolate", Beatriz Albuquerque
presents this interactive performance for <br>
the first time, at POSTE. In an intimate and informal context, this performance
will invite everyone from <br>
the audience to learn their future through the reading of the chocolates by the
shaman Beatriz <br>
Albuquerque. The chocolates will be thrown like dice. It will be up to the
public to believe it or not! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><br></span></p>
