Throughout the autumn months, it will bring life to the CCB Square and the MAC/CCB.
For Os Espacialistas, geometry is the relationship of affection that humans establish with nature.
Cella is a kind of space with anatomical, architectural, and sculptural qualities. At its core, it is a body (cell), a space (cell), and a material (cork). A division with walls, touch, and ground. A place for the body to stroll, speak, and play; to exercise the latent artistic reproductive system within us and transform imagination into a relational organ of poetic investigation.
It is dreamily inhabited by a swarm of cubes, sown to be harvested, tossed, built, and moved from place to place.
The only thought that counts is the one that walks.
The cube is born from the foot. Always lying down, it is the dreamiest of all geometric shapes.
To divide, remember, choose, associate, mix, build, err, and forget freely are some of the active verbs in this minimal unit of imagining, happening, experimenting, and playing at various scales, in a continuous relationship between time, the body, and the surrounding space.
To smile, release images, and let the corporosity of the space intertwine and sculpt those who visit is the secret of this playground and meditation space in de/construction.
To play is to repeat the future with wonder and joy.
Now, the inside is on the outside.
Once Again.
Cella
A Construction by Os Espacialistas
For three months, a structure made from around two hundred cork blocks (measuring about 1 metre long, 50 centimetres wide, and 30 centimetres high) and 300 kilograms of granulated cork form a kind of arena in the ccb square.
Inside, a mountain of small cork cubes (each measuring 5 centimetres on each side) awaits, ready to be played with.
Cella is an ephemeral architecture project by Os Espacialistas. This project was developed with the support of Corticeira Amorim.
