IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT WE SEE

Architecture hosts and gives perspective to what happens in its interior. Founded upon its material dimensions and on its live inhabitance by the people which dwell and cross it, architecture molds and render possible relationships and situations. Through the activation of the perception of gallery spaces and the exhibition patterns, a group of artists works in collaboration for the creation and experimentation of these spaces in dialogue with the works on display.

The project took part of  Veículo de Intimidade | Hoje, a series of dialogues and actions around the work of Ernesto de Sousa and his Poster Collection – Your Body is My Body, organized by Luísa Metello Seixas and Inês Castaño, at Museu Colecção Berardo, in Lisbon, in February 2016. In 2017, the project visited SESC Contemporary Art Collection in the participation of  6 artists from São Paulo , at Sesc Bom Retiro, May 2017.
