ponto de encontro / meeting point: Galeria da Boavista
(Rua da Boavista 50, Lisboa)
On the occasion of a 1-month residency at the Galerias Municipais in Lisbon, we invite you to an event with the artists Ariane Mueller and Martin Ebner.
Two rooms is a walk-in, one-day presentation of works by the two Berlin-based artists Ariane Müller and Martin Ebner, which can be experienced on the evening of March 5, 2020 at Residencia Boavista.
Thematically, there are two very different blocks: feminism, as a rolling, anarchistic laughter, a research entitled Then I would like to make a happy end for once that has been shown at Starship Berlin, Kunstverein Nürnberg and as part of the exhibition de-culturalization at the Museion in Bolzano. Then there is the audio-visuality of Recycling Plastic Inevitable, a new Berlin video band, which includes the history of the methods it employs. Originating from a different context, Two rooms is an insert of these considerations into the city of Lisbon. It is an installation featuring the means that have encountered these two themes: video, music, drawing, text and its staging as performance or drama.
The 19th edition of the Berlin art magazine Starship will also be presented on this occasion.
