OPENINGS
Tom Emerson in conversation with the Álvaro Siza Archive
Tom Emerson, of London-based practice 6a architects is the first guest curator of “Conversations with the Archive,” a new series of exhibitions aimed at placing the work of Álvaro Siza in conversation with some of the most relevant contemporary architectural practices. Invited to act as guest curators, architects are asked to select materials from the Álvaro Siza Archive and present them in connection to their own work.
Organized by the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, the exhibition is curated by Tom Emerson in conversation with Carles Muro, Adjunct Curator for Architecture Programmes at the Serralves Museum, assisted by Sónia Oliveira, Head of the Serralves Library.
Stitchomythia
December 16, 2018
Stitcomythia is a visual installation and musical performance developed in collaboration by visual artist and set designer Nadio Lauro and composer Zeena Parkins. A new anamorphic carpet designed for performers, its optical motifs (the topography in anamorphosis), the perceptual disorder that emanates from them, constitute a musical score unfolded at the scale of the space. Oscillating between dangerous obsession and bewitchment, Stitchomythia presents itself as a disquieting space/partition.
The Serralves programme of Performing Arts is developed by Cristina Grande, curator for dance and performance, and Pedro Rocha, curator for music, both assisted by Ana Conde.
