Talks, rearrangement and fossils

Talks, rearrangement and fossils is a crossing of personal pathways into the same place – shelter, site of craft and, later, material and support. Therefore, it does not leave of pre-defined conditions and rules or of the intention to show what already existed. This project is based on a distinct desire: to experience the living together, allowing the spontaneous and respecting the chance. This is, first and foremost, a continued attempt, led by great uncertainty and by the dialogue with this uncertainty.

During the period of one month, we attended this situation with intensity. In a house that will soon cease to exist in favor of a new construction, this exhibition was installed by means of an action dealing openly and directly with the immediate context. As such, operates subtle movements in the same direction – which sometimes reveals and in others gives form. It is possible to think of an archeology of the present, which discovers and registers while invents and intervenes. The works that are born thence organize ideas, meet landscapes and record experiences; but also unite objects, shift figures, and suggest new meanings for the findings on the path. In this sense, it is not only arrival points, but also residues of practices and exchange.

It is on this terrain, rife with conversation – taken in its different forms and possibilities and also as a legitimate support for the artistic making – that devices are reinvented; places created; personal objects and thoughts organized in diagram; obsolete books become paintings; and elements found and reconfigured compose a precise scenography. In common, these artworks arise from a tension in which the sensitivity to everyday life and its bodies aligns with the immaterial dimension of each thing, each corner. There is then a rearrangement of the space, that without being safe from the future action of brokers and tractors, may, nevertheless, resist in other dimensions.
