Announcement for intervention as a page from M [objecto] (Vitor Magalhães)
An intervention took place on 17 March at the University of Madeira responding to Vitor Magalhães' current exhibit «index of matters [on objects and other phantasmagorias]» now presented at the gallery of the Mudas Museum of Contemporary Art in Madeira, Portugal. Participants included Márcia de Sousa, Vitor Magalhães, Ana Gandum, Peter Freund, André Ramos, Tiago Pinto, and Carlos Valente. I was invited to produce and contribute three short video works in relation to the exhibit elements and themes. The videos were introduced to punctuate the in-person intervention talks by Márcia de Sousa (Mudas Museum Director), Vitor Magalhães (artist, professor), Ana Gandum (artist, professor), and Carlos Valente (artist, professor). My contributions to the gallery exhibit include a piece of experimental fiction published in an artist book designed by Magalhães, an audio installation reciting the narrative, and a public dialogue with Vitor at the exhibit’s opening in early December 2022.
