PARTICULAR UNIVERSAL: Vaiapraia em residência em Castro Marim

Rodrigo Vaiapraia é o próximo artista em residência no Concelho de Castro Marim, ao abrigo do projecto Particular Universal. 

Criador transdisciplinar e autodidata, lidera desde 2014 os Vaiapraia, banda maior do rock independente em Portugal, herdeiros directos e assumidos dos movimentos punk/riot-grrrl/queercore, aclamados em igual medida por Público, Blitz ou Time Out, por exemplo, com o álbum “100% carisma”, de 2020, como marco no rock português de qualquer época.

Entre os dias 6 e 13 de Maio, Rodrigo, juntamente com Ana Farinha, Daniel Fonseca e Beatriz Diniz, estará pela Quinta da Fornalha a trabalhar sobre várias ideias embrionárias colecionadas ao longo dos últimos dois anos, procurando “encontrar coletivamente a atenção, crescimento e reformulação que cada melodia pede”.

No dia 14, pelas 19h, no Anfiteatro ao ar livre do Revelim de Santo António, teremos a oportunidade, talvez, de conhecer pela primeira vez (ao lado de algumas das mais enérgicas e profundas canções de produção nacional dos últimos largos anos), as novas direcções de Vaiapraia. O concerto é de entrada livre.

Esta é a segunda residência com curadoria da Filho Único, parceira do projeto Particular Universal.

PARTICULAR UNIVERSAL: Knut Olaf Sunde is the next artist-in-residency at Castro Marim

Norwegian composer Knut Olaf Sunde, whose work revolves around notions of place, duration and immersion, is the next artist in residence in the Castro Marim Municipality, as part of the Particular Universal project.

Between April 23rd and May 7th he will “observe, learn and try to understand the different cultural and landscape logics” of the region, through sound and video recordings, as well as in conversation with the locals, with the aim of establishing a narrative, to be presented April 29th, at 5.30pm, at the Armazém do Sal - a free admission event.

This will be the second residence curated by NyMusikk, norwegian partner for the project, which is funded by the EEA Grants mechanism, with the theme “Identity, Memory and Landscape in Castro Marim”.

Friday: Erik Dæhlin at Castro Marim Castle

Taking place Friday, at around 17:00 at Castro Marim Castle, will be the first public presentation of work developed by the artists-in-residence of the Particular Universal project: in this instance that of Norwegian artist Erik Dæhlin, a composer working across Sound, Image and Text who has, since March 13th, explored the different places and environments within the Castro Marim Municipality (including the Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Marsh Natural Preserve, with a particular focus on the Guadiana river delta), making a record of his impressions through texts, field recordings and photography, all of which he has worked on with a view towards Friday's performance / talk, which will afterwards be evoked in a piece to be presented at the Only Connect festival in Oslo, towards the end of April.

Be sure to check out the teaser below, which includes a small part of the conversations we've had with the artist during his residency and a glimpse into his working process.
