For its eight edition, the Museum as Performance – an annual programme dedicated to the intersections between the visual arts, music and performance – will once more occupy various spaces in the museum with transdisciplinary projects by national and international artists who question the form of presenting, experiencing and classifying art.

A place for experimentation and speculation, the programme proposes a set of experiences, sounds, forms and images that question the place of art in its relationship to the world.

This edition’s programming focuses on issues that invite a reflection on how we have been thinking and organizing our cohabitation with the Other (objects, people, Nature). Forming a counterpoint to anthropocentrism, humanism and rationality, the participating artists’ projects test the possibilities of non-linear thought (emphasizing the corporeal, the energetic and the intuitive to the detriment of the intellectual) and suggest a non-hierarchical, non-dominating relationship with Nature. Moreover, they question our mode of perceiving that which constitutes and surrounds us (spaces, bodies, objects, sounds) by applying various forms of duration, listening, attention and transitoriness to make us see and hear Serralves’ spaces in novel, surprising ways.

Curators: Cristina Grande, Pedro Rocha and Ricardo Nicolau
