“Design, being a discipline that focuses on form-giving, cannot design life itself as it has no perceivable material dimension. Instead, designers tend to manipulate the fostering substrate of living systems to obtain certain outco-mes. Design in this context becomes a negotiator between the agendas of both humans and non-humans, and requires a high level of solidarity.

Raúl Pinto is a designer and founder of EstúdioAma (http://www.amadesign.net). He also teaches Industrial Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Izmir, Turkey.

Exhibition "Ruins and Fragments"

From Wednesday, 6.12.2023 to Wednesday, 13.12.2023
Garagem Avenida - Guimarães
The exhibition will be on display at Garagem Avenida from 6 to 13 December, with opening hours from Wednesday to Friday, from 14h00 to 17h00. The opening of the exhibition will take place on 6 December at 5pm in the presence of the curator and the artists. On 13 December, the book "Deindustrialisation, still" will be presented.

Ruins and Fragments presents artistic processes and productions developed from activations at Fábrica do Arquinho, in Guimarães, during the first half of 2023. The curatorial project* aims to understand the narratives that this industrial ruin and its vestiges contain and provoke, considering its interstitial condition, between previous industrial use and the future rehabilitation project. The artists' responses to this enquiry encompass various languages - objects, performance recordings, audio recordings, experimental photographs and writing - and are above all a procedural display of the fieldwork carried out in (and on) this factory. The artistic proposals focus on recording the entropy of space, experimenting with the heterotopia of this anti-monumentality and the double gesture of inventing and inventorying, including, in some cases, decomposition and forgetting as intrinsic elements in the construction of the works.


* The exhibition's curatorial research is part of Beatriz Duarte's PhD project in Art Education (i2ADS-FBAUP), funded by the FCT (ref.2021.04620.BD) and entitled "Contemporary heritage re-signified: curatorial strategies and artistic mediation of recent pasts", with scientific guidance from Inês Moreira (CEAA-ESAP) and Thiago Assis (i2ADS-FBAUP).
