Conversation Piece

Galeria de Arte Convento Espírito Santo - Loulé

23/02/2011 - 24/04/2011

[EN]

“Conversation piece” is a digital print in a three copy edition, dated 2012. It’s formed by a 102 paper sheet grid, each sheet with 42 x 30 cm, making up a total dimension of 260 x 520 cm. The work deals with the development of a drawing that multiplies itself by symmetries and repetitions.

Taking a small unit as a starting point, in this case an architectonic fragment, a fragment of a window, a construction through successive collages and recompositions was simulated. Hence, a mechanical practice was established, envisioning an apparently goalless perpetual movement. The drawing, materialized in a fragile moment of equilibrium, reveals its inexhaustible doing, a constant and unfinished conversation.

“Conversation piece” é um print digital numa edição de 3, datado de 2011. É constituído por uma grelha de 102 folhas de papel no formato A3, com a dimensão total de 180 x 357 cm.

Trata-se do desenvolvimento de um desenho que se multiplica por simetrias e repetições. A partir de uma pequena unidade, no caso um fragmento arquitectónico, o fragmento de uma janela, foi simulada uma construção através de sucessivas acções de colagem e recomposição. Estabeleceu-se assim uma prática mecânica prefigurando um perpétuo movimento sem aparente finalidade. O desenho, materializado num fingido momento de equilíbrio, revela o seu inesgotável fazer-se, uma conversa sempre por terminar.
