"The Chair, where someone used to be"

“The Chair, where someone used to be”

 

a group exhibition by

Karen Bradtke, André Moniz Vieira, Vulindlela Nyoni and Siphiwe Cele

Constructing a chair is a very complicated process and involves solving ergonomic, technical and structural issues.

 

A chair allows a body to rest and depending on the configuration of the chairs, encourages conversation between occupants or to discourage conversation only to be spoken to.

 

A chair is also a metaphor about human abilities and limitations. Chairs represent people. They represent the presence and the absence of being. They represent relationships.

Up until March 2020 there were things and people that were part of our daily landscape. Suddenly they disappeared. Viewing the streets with closed shops, empty parks, having weekends without gathering with family, birthday parties without friends, we missed the people we used to have, the place where we used to be. Even though technology helps to connect people and to communicate with close ones, we also live with people who do not appear on computer screens. With this pandemic we all experienced our existence, presence and absence.

"A Cadeira" onde alguém costumava estar...   

A construção de uma cadeira é um processo muito complicado e envolve a resolução de questões ergonómicas, técnicas e estruturais.  

Uma cadeira permite que um corpo descanse e dependendo da configuração das cadeiras, encoraja a conversa entre ocupantes ou desencoraja a conversa apenas para ser falada.   

Uma cadeira é também uma metáfora sobre as habilidades e limitações humanas. A cadeira serve para ser sentada, oferecendo-lhe o descanso, para comer, ler, falar, ou esperar. Quando alguém se senta na cadeira, torna-se um objeto simples. Quando a cadeira não está ocupada... começam a "falar" umas com as outras. 

 

Representam pessoas. Representam a presença e a ausência de um ser. Representam relacionamentos. Até março de 2020 haviam coisas e pessoas que faziam parte da paisagem diária. De repente desapareceram. Vendo as ruas com lojas fechadas, parques vazios, fins de semana sem reunir com a família, festas de aniversário sem amigos, sentimos falta das pessoas que tínhamos, o lugar onde costumávamos estar. Embora a tecnologia nos ajude a conectar e a comunicar com as pessoas mais próximas, também vivemos com pessoas que não aparecem nos ecrãs dos computadores. Com esta pandemia todos nós experimentamos a nossa existência, presença e ausência.

"Adelina e eu"

Maria Ângela Franco

14 June – extended until 31 August

 

Watercolour on paper   

About my work:

The set of works on display is based on the practice of registration on paper.
I focus on the technique of watercolor, but I explore transparencies, materialities and expressions with other techniques: drawing, collage and embroidery. I integrate several elements according to their visual strength (line, texture, matter) and transform the support in space to tell stories that are built with lines and dots, rhythms and movements. Paper becomes the place of gesture and heart. And so the affections take shape and a universe of emotions is born in the interaction of several elements: water-color-paper-air-lines-fabrics.

"Adelina and I" is the name of the exhibition. Adeline, it's my mother. I'm me.
In other words, the world you gave me, Mother!

"In the Pink" - a group exhibition 30 November - 25 January 2019

A group exhibition based on the idea of 'in the pink', which means
'in extremely good health and spirits'. Each work will have an element of pink in it.

Uma exposição coletiva baseada na ideia de "no rosa", que significa
"saúde e espírito extremamente bons". Cada trabalho terá um elemento rosa nele.

30 November 2018 -  25 January 2019 

“Arquipélago [juntos somos mais do que ilhas]”

Continua a exposição "Arquipélago" que reúne trabalhos das fotógrafas Elisabeth Vieira Alvarez, Paula Arinto e Susana Paiva.
Aproveitem para lá passar e ver, ou rever, a mesma :)

uma exposição por Elisabeth Vieira Alvarez, Paula Arinto and Susana Paiva

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tVFb9ozoqc&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop

Três criadoras com universos singulares, três Olhares pessoais e intransmissíveis. Três ilhas comunicantes, com o forte desejo de traçarem pontes que unam as suas poéticas, lançam como objectivo a construção de um arquipélago único – uma supra-poética do território criativo – pois juntas acreditam ser mais do que ilhas.

“Arquipélago” é, assim, uma exposição que materializa o Olhar enquanto território definido pelas fronteiras da imaginação, um discurso visual que joga com a possível representação do imaginário de cada uma das autoras, em torno do conceito de ilha – entendida como proteiforme, orgânica e sobretudo autónoma. Porque, felizmente, em Arte a criação é sempre muito maior do que os seus criadores.

“Archipelago [together we are more than islands]"

an exhibition by Elisabeth Vieira Alvarez, Paula Arinto and Susana Paiva

Opening on Saturday, 9 December 2017 at 5p.m.

Three authors with singular universes, 3 personal, and not transferable, ways of looking. Three “islands”, with a strong desire to draw bridges that will connect their personal poetics, imagine together a construction of a single archipelago – an overall poetic of their Creative territory – as they believe that together they may be more than islands.

“Archipelago” is an exhibition that essays a way of looking into a territory conceived and drawn with imagination as frontier, a visual discourse that plays with the imaginary of each one of the authors, around the idea of “island”, a constantly changing  and organic island and about all a stand alone territory as in Art creation is always bigger that its creators.

As Lágrimas das Flores | Tears of Flowers by Hanamaro Chaki Opening 1 April at 11a.m. - 1p.m.

As Lágrimas das Flores | Tears of Flowers

by Hanamaro Chaki

Exposicao de pintura e desenho | Exhibition of paintings and drawings 

"Tears falling"

Hanamaro e a artista nascida no Toquio. Reside e trabalha no Funchal, Madeira. Mostra as suas novas obras na Galeria RESTOCK Funchal.
"A obra da Hanamaro Chaki é cativante, tanto pelas suas formas como pela sua habilidade de refletir o espírito obsessivo e apaixonado do ser humano.
Os seus desenhos emergem de um traço delicado, mas crescem e expandem-se de forma segura e gestual, dotando-os de uma força onírica singular.
Nas suas pinturas convive o traço com o equilíbrio de cores, da sua maravilhosa habilidade para criar camadas e velaturas claro-escuro, que dão às obras uma profundidade espetacular”

Texto: Abigail L. Enrich

Hanamaro is a Tokyo-born artist. She lives and works in Funchal, Madeira. She is showing her new work at RESTOCK Gallery in Funchal.
Hanamaro Chaki’s work is captivating both in her way and in her ability to reflect the obsessive and passionate spirit of human beings.
Her drawings emerge from a delicate stroke but they grow and expand confidently with gestures that are guided by unique oneiric power. In her paintings you find that line and color balance in harmony.
