THE STEAM SHOP (OR THE PAINTER'S STUDIO), july 2006 at Lugar Comum, Portugal.
The project seeks to explore the dialectic between the social and hermetic dimensions of contemporary practice, with Courbet’s Painter’s Studio as active historical precedent.
It is composed of three aspects—a painting, Gustave Courbet’s The Painter’s Studio (1855); a space, the ruined architecture of a gunpowder factory outside Lisbon, Portugal, called Oficinas a Vapor; and a concept, that the occupancy of the ruins of open chambers by artists, continuing the discourse begun the French artist some 150 years ago could provide a vital setting for exploring issues of art practice and social context.
ROGGENBROT, 2006 (in collaboration with Alison Knowles)
Starting from Alison Knowles’ piece Bread and Water, I am creating a three video installation that intends to investigate collaborative production in art--taking the viewer through ones practice, a journey into Knowles work. We are baking bread together at Alison Knowles’ studio, upstate New York --the journey along the Hudson river between both artists is energized by a series of resonances, their focus of investigation is put through Knowles’ concept in this piece, the site of the practice is extended to other domains such as the river and the place of living. Images of the river are incorporated as to create a path in between the studio practice and a collaborative open practice. In Knowles’ piece, bread and water are paralleled through images of bread that double as specific topographical profiles of rivers. It is a journey through ones practice
