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.


Projecto Nómada: Estrutura IV 
Artistic Intervention at Museum of Fine Arts Academy, Porto | Nov.2009 
Projecto Nómada: Estrutura IV (Nomadic Project: Structure IV)
Black rubber, Variable dimensions.
Art Project integral part of the Master Thesis in Sculpture 2009, at Fine Arts Academy of Porto, Portugal.

A quarta e última intervenção, ocorre no Museu da Faculdade de Belas Artes da U.P., onde alcança o seu maior potencial em termos de dimensão e comprimento - intervenção esta que posteriormente seria o pano de fundo para a defesa de tese de mestrado.
Cada momento de intervenção criou uma escultura adaptável, num mesmo corpo escultórico que ia crescendo e se desenvolvendo como se de um corpo real/natural, se tratasse. Sem desenhos prévios e inteiramente concebidos e (re)construídos in loco, a apropriação ao cada contexto tornava-se viável pela utilização de uma matéria-prima maleável e de uma metodologia de construção lógica, que assumia a arquitetura como estrutura e o local expositivo como oficina.

The fourth and last intervention, takes place at the Museum of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the U.P., where it reaches its greatest potential in terms of dimension and length - an intervention that would function as a background for the defense of the master's thesis.
Each moment of intervention intended to create an adaptable sculpture, in the same sculptural body that was growing and developing as if it were a real / natural body. Without previous drawings and entirely conceived and (re) built in loco, the appropriation to each context became viable through the use of a malleable raw material and a logical construction methodology, which assumed architecture as a structure and the exhibition place as workshop.



"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.
