Thoughts in gerund, as a teacher, artist, curator

Abstract

This article presents my experience as a producer of artistic works, exhibition curator  and cultural and artistic analyst. I will place special relevance on two artistic experiences – the MAMÃE Project, that revolves around the work, Olho Mágico [Magic Eye], and the Exhibition ContidoNãoContido. The work Olho Mágico appears as a self-referential comment, a parody. A blind wall is transformed into a kind of window, as if mediating the possible dialogues between what is perceived as interior and exterior space. In the exhibition ContidoNãoContido we aimed to encourage visitors to feel the need to critically deconstruct the sense of “obliged reverence” often associated to museums.
