Vasco Araújo1 Oct - 16 Nov 2024 Dear All, How does one begin a letter on the topic of 'Ritornare,' or rather, going back, perhaps by starting at the beginning, which in this case, isn't the verb, but the reason that led me to go back, to Ritornare. I think that when we return to something we've... Read moreDo Jardim, um Oceano

Ricardo Jacinto14 Nov - 6 Dec 2014Projects 2012-15 Ricardo Jacinto’s performance (Medusa: Exploded Cello) is an explicit manifestation of a usually silent truth about the relationship between a player, a musical instrument, and a performance environment, which is that the boundaries between these three apparently separate entities are in fact mutable.

28 Mar - 5 May 2014Projects 2012-15 The turbulent recent history of Yugoslavia, and its artistic and conceptual Modernist avant-garde utopias of the 1950s and 1960s, have contextualized much of David Maljković’s work.
