Undomesticated Ground - finissage

3/1/2025

Finnissage: UNDOMESTICATED GROUND
Sat 4th Jan 15 - 17h, Travessa do Giestal 45aUndomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

Featured artists: Annette Brinckerhoff / Raquel Cardoso / Elmira Katasova / Francesca Faulin / Nina Fraser / Catarina Nogueira / Arta Raituma / Franka Struys

Undomesticated Ground - Studio Seco

Studio Seco collective exhibition: Undomesticated Ground
Thurs 5th Dec 18 - 20h

Undomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

In her book, Stacey Alaimo critiques representations of nature as a passive, objectified space, often tied to patriarchal systems of domination. The idea of “undomesticated ground” - as of the works featured in this show - challenges the tendency to domesticate and control both nature and women, recasting nature as a feminist space that offers a transformative framework for understanding ecological and social struggles.

Featured artists: Annette Brinckerhoff / Raquel Cardoso / Elmira Katasova / Francesca Faulin / Nina Fraser / Catarina Nogueira / Arta Raituma / Franka Struys

Calendário Avulso is an exhibition and accompanying book born from the dialogue between collages by Nina Fraser and texts by Paola D'Agostino. The final 50 copies of the limited edition artists book will be available to purchase alongside the exhibition of the collages featured, at Loja Jardins do Bombarda. Myself and Paola will of course be there to offer you a glass of wine and perhaps read you a poem or two.

"Calendário Avulso” is time in bulk, a collection of moments or epiphanies, which decontextualised take on the possibility of representing each and every day, in an ideal space where the dialogue between various languages alters and enhances the meaning of each exchange.

“Deliquesce” - Solo Exhibition: Nina Fraser

30/8/2024

Exhibition Inauguration: 12 Sep: 6pm - 9pm
Continues: 13 - 14 Sep: 4pm - 8pm
“Deliquesce” - from Latin dēliquēscere to melt away, become liquid, from de- + liquēscere to melt, from liquēre to be liquid
Nina Fraser presents a new series of work utilising alternative image making techniques that combine frottage, collage, and printmaking to explore tactile encounters with plant and vegetal life. Through a perception of the vegetal world as a fundamentally symbiotic system of interrelations between roots, rhizomes and soil, nature is no longer subject to categorical thinking. The magazine image is liquified through the application of heat, harnessing its material properties to yield a multi-layered exploration of intricately connected worlds.

“Vegetal Matters” - Duo exhibition
Arta Raituma, Nina Fraser

Address: Estação Canelas, Rua da Estação Canelas - Estarreja, Aveiro
After carrying out an artistic residency within the environment and biosphere of the region BioRia, an area of diverse natural and agricultural practices, the artists Arta Raituma and Nina Fraser present their workings around the concept of ‘plant thinking’, put across by Michael Marder in his research surrounding vegetal anti-metaphysics, and what we can learn from plants.
Looking at interdisciplinarity as a fertile space for cross contamination, the works produced in hybrid mediums take the form of two dimensional works on paper, as well as installation, found objects, and photography. Organic materials sourced from the site interact with experimental processes to explore the dissolution of boundaries between categorical thinking, leaving traces of vegetal matter exposed. An exchange process between a plant, the materiality of the medium and the place of its encounter all contribute to the intermingling/becoming of the two artistic outputs.

Opening: 14 June 2024. 17 - 20h
Exhibition continues: 15 June - 19 July 2024, mon - fri 10 - 13h
Address: Estação Canelas, Rua da Estação Canelas - Estarreja, Aveiro

Full Circle: Open Group Discussion

Full Circle: Open Group Discussion

Join us at Full Circle exhibition finissage for an open discussion on nurturing inclusive art communities to shape a more equitable art world
As we approach the finissage of our exhibition, featuring the works of 8 women artists, we invite you to join us and engage in a conversation exploring the meaning of community within the art world.
If "Full Circle," stands as our commitment to challenge conventions, foster collaboration, inclusivity, and individuality as our guiding principles, with this conversation we want to open up the space and discuss how we can all cultivate an art community free from hierarchies, where every voice is valued
Inspired by the insightful perspectives in Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez's work, "Let's Become Fungal," we'll explore together strategies to dismantle traditional patriarchal structures, nurturing non-hierarchical, inclusive art spaces.
Date: 28th March, 6.30 pm
Location: studio seco, Tr. do Giestal 45a, 1300-278 Lisboa
