La Belle Alliance (Metropole)


Part I
O Arenque do Brasil (Metropole)
Pedro Barateiro
01.07 - 29.08.2010, Lumiar Cité

O Arenque do Brasil (Metropole) is a reflection on presentation spaces, using critical appropriations that result in experimental places that emphasise the relationship between viewers and the work. The gallery space Lumiar Cité hosts an installation with modernist sculptural objects for contemplation, but which also create tensions born out of another "use" in which they function as "banal" radio station equipment.

Goethe-Institut Lisbon
Campo Mártires da Pátria, 37

In August 2010 the Goethe-Institut in Lisbon is turning into a place for experiment. The focus of the residency is on process rather than result, on production rather than consumption. Pedro Barateiro’s radio studio (Part I) is also used by some participants, linking part I, II and III of La Belle Aliiance (Metropole). Eleven participants from several disciplines – e.g. music, painting, video, installation, performance, language art, cooking – get together to live, think, create, talk, exchange etc. Occasionally, participants and audiences from the outside are also invited.


Part III
Doppeldodi (Metropole)
Niklas Lichti, Lone Haugaard Madsen
16.09 - 30.10.2010, Lumiar Cité
