ITINERANTE ART INSTALLATION, 2009
Itinerant art project that aims to create a sculptural organism, adaptable to the architectural environment - like an alive system that reacts to context, architecure and space. This artwork was based in a logical construction that made possible an experiment within the art installation research, trying to explore the potencial of a fully adaptable body sculpture.

Utilizando o desenho como ferramenta/processo de pensamento e percepção espacial para a conceção da obra, cada peça tinha como intuito ser adaptada a cada espaço, tornando-se em algo novo, servindo-se da peculiaridades de cada lugar, para crescer de modo distinto em cada momento. O Desenho é aqui utilizado como metodologia de trabalho e, nessa relação, a natureza processual da obra é inevitável.
Nesta terceira intervenção, a obra foi de novo desestruturada para se realocar no Museu-Oficina António Carneiro: (re)nascendo de um piso superior (a partir de uma pequena sala com janela) e desenvolvendo-se para um jardim interior do edifício onde se encontra com um elemento natural - uma árvore, resgatando-a para a obra.

Using drawing as a tool / thought process and spatial perception for the conception of the work, each piece was intended to be adapted to each space, becoming something new, using the peculiarities of each place, to grow in a different way at every moment. Drawing is used here as a work methodology and, in this relationship, the procedural nature of the work is inevitable.
In this third intervention, the work was again restructured to relocate to the Museu-Oficina António Carneiro: (re) rising from an upper floor (from a small room with a window) and developing into an interior garden of the building where meets with a natural element - a tree, rescuing it for the work.
"Projecto Nómada" was developed as a project inside an artistic research integral part of the Master's thesis “Do Espaço à Escultura: Transferências de um Corpo" (From Space to Sculpture: Transfers from a Body, fully available in the Library of the Faculty of Fine Arts University of Oporto).
Presented as an itinerant art project, aims to increase the spatial understanding's worth for a sculpture's definition, using the drawing as a mental tool for its successful accomplishment. Drawing is used as a complex and conscious methodology and in that specific establishment, the procedural nature is evident and unavoidable.
Each intervention moment (in total four) was created without previous projects/drawings and entirely built in loco, taking each architecture as a structure of the sculpture and the exhibition place as an workshop.
