Where the horizon moves at TIME OUT BARCELONA

Onde o horizonte se move | Where the horizon moves | BARCELONA

Onde o horizonte se move | Where the Horizon Moves is a site-specific project where the horizon is treated as a field of shared fiction. Through the selection of a landscape and a place from where the audience can observe it, the project generates its gradual transformation through figures that appear and disappear on the horizon. This piece features neighbours from the Poble-sec district as volunteers and invites the public to witness a process of deceleration: from a vantage point, a plateau, an avenue, a landscape unfolds, a city is revealed. Here, the spectators, as if they were the guardians of the past, travel the horizon to decipher these figures blotted out by the sun, which become people, stories, worlds.

Gustavo Ciríaco is a Brazilian artist based in Rio de Janeiro. He has a strong international presence and has presented his works in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, and more recently in the Far East. His work combines various artistic disciplines, showing an interest in other knowledge, other fields, other voices; often through people, looking for other ways to cope with everyday life, adding potential, tools and knowledge about how to deal with time and space. He has used choreography, theatre, video, storytelling and urban actions in conversational works where the encounter is the inspiration for fictions and shared situations.

Where the Horizon Moves was included in the official programme of Guimarães – European Capital of Culture 2012 (Sweet & Tender Collaborations, organized by Maus Hábitos) and by the Rio Occupation London artistic mission at the London Cultural Olympiads in 2012. The project was in residence at the Cidade das Artes, programmed at the Panorama Festival (Rio, 2013) and toured with the SESC Arts Circuit, visiting nine cities within the state of São Paulo.

Este workshop propõe-se como espaço de experiência e de discussão dos modos de manuseamento artístico da materialidade quotidiana e dos modos de activação de proposições site-specific na cidade. Através de exercícios de deslocamento e permanência, serão exploradas e praticadas questões transversais à arte contextual e à etnografia enquanto ferramentas para a performance in situ, tais como: as condições de (in)visibilidade e os regimes de atenção aplicados aos ambientes comuns e intervalares da cidade; os funcionamentos urbanos emergentes das relações entre geografia, arquitetura, uso e habitação; os encaixes e brechas propiciados (ou não) pelas modulações público-privado e próximo-distante, no constante tráfego entre a coexistência e a convivência. Os participantes serão convidados a engajarem-se num trabalho prático de criação “no terreno”, a partir do mapeamento etnográfico e sensível de um espaço público.

This workshop aims to offer a space for experience and discussion of the different modes of dealing artistically with the daily materiality and of the modes of activation of site-specific propositions in the city. Through exercises of displacement and permanence, the workshop will explore and put into practice questions common to contextual art and ethnography, as tools for performances in situ, such as: conditions of (in)visibility and regimes of attention applied to the common and interval ambiances of the city; the urban patterns that emerge from interaction between geography, architecture, use and inhabitation; insertions and breaches offered (or not) by the modulations between private and public spheres, near-distant stances, in the constant transit between coexistence and conviviality.  The participants are invited to engage in practical creative work “on the terrain”, starting with an ethnographic and sensible mapping of a public space.
