João Fiadeiro. INTROSPECTIVE

INTROSPECTIVE is a retroprospective of the body of (and in the) work of João Fiadeiro that takes place in the galleries of the Museum of Contemporary Art and in the theatres of the CCB.
In the Museum, the project occupies three galleries and consist of two parts. In the first, during the month of May, the central curatorial axis was the concept of “construction site.” The exhibition setup was accessible to visitors and transformed into a daily happening, with presentations of dramaturgical and choreographic devices, real-time compositions and improvisations, re-enactments, open classes, and guided tours.

In a second phase, starting from 20 June, visitors have access to the exhibition RESTOS, RASTROS E TRAÇOS [REMAINS, TRAILS, AND TRACES], which, as the name indicates, hosts what has “remained behind” from the live experiences and experimentations of the first part of the event; and to the art installation I AM (not) HERE, based on Fiadeiro’s work I AM HERE (premiered in 2004 at CCB), which in turn was inspired by the imagery of visual artist Helena Almeida. Finally, this second phase features a dedicated room showcasing various objects collaboratively created by João Fiadeiro and artists with whom he has crossed paths over the past thirty years.

At CCB, specifically in the Black Box and the Small Auditorium, between 21 June and 6 July, DAR CORPO [TO EMBODY] is presented. As the title indicates, this programme consist of a selection of pieces from João Fiadeiro’s repertoire to be performed by himself, guest artists, and performers from new generations.
