Opening: 18:00
This is an exhibition about the conquest/right of individual identity in the public space, conceived from 1000 terracotta busts made by users of the Pisão social center and the rescue of José Luís Neto's 22474 and 22475 photographic series.
Fernando Fadigas proposes a sound composition for the exhibition Insomnia at the Machado de Castro National Museum. With recordings made in the cryptoporticus of Aeminium, a symbol of the Roman Empire in Coimbra, he explores phantasmagorias and some sound textures intentionally deposited on supports such as vinyl records and magnetic tape, in a short live sound piece to inaugurate and accompany the work 22474 and 22475 by photographer José Luís Neto and the installation of 1000 terracotta busts. The piece composed especially for the occasion will be broadcast in the space and continuously throughout the exhibition.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
