MOTHS DRINK THE TEARS OF SLEEPING BIRDS #7
WHEN | 26 February, 18:00 ENTRY | 3,5€ [monthly member fee] Moths drink the tears of sleeping birds is a scientific statement and proposition of intent. It forms the starting point for a cycle that explores itinerancy as a mode of practice, an experiment that can be both subtle and fierce. For each edition of the cycle, materials are selected for a screening, into which two artists are invited to intervene using sound, image, installation, performance... How these interventions play out cannot be foreseen. Still, as the moth that hovers for an instant over the bird, everything subsequently disappears, moments of cross-contamination that vanish without trace. For the seventh edition artists Marcelo Felix and Nina Fraser have chosen to subvert the usual format of the cycle, this time using text and experiments in frottage to create the short film Curated by: Isobel Atacus Invited Artists: Marcelo Felix and Nina Fraser Support: República Portuguesa – Cultura / Direção-Geral das Artes

100 for 100 is a fundraising online exhibition and sale to help me and my partner rebuild our lives after a gas explosion and fire destroyed our apartment just before Christmas 2020.
The pieces in the 100 for 100 collection were produced between 2014 and 2020, and are all priced at €100, unframed, including EU shipping. For the next six months, 10% of the sale price of the 100 for 100 collection of selected artworks will be donated to CRESCER, to assist their projects helping chronically vulnerable homeless people in Lisbon who do not have the support mechanisms in place that we were lucky to have. |
