FBAUP, GUIMARAES, PORTUGAL 2012
As programmed we developed a Symposium and artist talk at the Capital of Culture Guimarães 2012, with the presence of artists Pedro Tudela (PT) and John Grzinich (U.S.A./EE), regarding Sound and the Technological Unconscious. The event was held in the emblematic Museu Martins Sarmento, which at the same time was holding the exhibitions Metaphoria (curated by Silvia Guerra) and Love Difference (by Michelangelo Pistoletto) as part of the ECC programme. Several constrains limited the possibility of having a wider audience, due to the strong programme of the ECE in the dates programmed as well as the small size of the art community linked to the subject. There was also some agenda problems to ensure that some major international well known thinkers could participate, as it was the major aim. To correct this we plan to have a continuation of the Symposium in 2014 parallel to the group exhibition to be inaugurated in last quarter 2014.
