Buildings and Remnants is an essay-project curated by Inês Moreira and Aneta Szylak, which looks at the post-industrial condition through its buildings and spaces. Buildings and Remnants explores an interdisciplinary reading of space, architecture and post-industrial heritage through visual arts, architecture and moving images, exploring in the research the tools of anthropology, history or archeology (as field work or as documentation of traces). The project ́s most immediate aim is to commission a group of readings of thepost- industrial condition in Guimarães, departing from ASA factory, and amplifying it with other locations and wider concerns in other places in Europe (and in Asia). The project focuses on the existing architectures and explores other less physical dimensions of materiality, as the concepts of spatiality, performativity, immersion, memory, meaning, or the machinic and thefuturistic. Alicja Karska & Aleksandra Went - André Cepeda - Dorota Nieznalska - Eduardo Matos -  Frederico Lobo e Tiago Hespanha - Grzegorz Klaman - Julita Wojcik - Konrad Pustola - Mariusz Waras - Patrícia Azevedo Santos - Pedro Bandeira - TheDecorators (among others)

Devir Menor project, curated by Inês Moreira and Susana Caló, comprises an exhibition and a book introducing projects and work methods from architects and collectives within the Ibero-American context. The project proposes a hybrid research, drawing from architecture, critical theory and the practice of materiality. It deals with critical spatialpractices, both theoretical, practical and performative, and is informed by several work processes. While it is true that the presupposed Ibero-American unity – and even theLatin American unity – is somewhat vague and based on colonial reminescenses and in strategic positionings in the contextof an increasingly globalised world with ever larger competitive blocks, it is also not possible to forget that the historical relations between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America have always potentiated miscegenations, crossings, hybrids and bypaths to the dominant political and cultural formations. Jorge Garcia de la Camara – Luís Santiago Baptista – Mario Ballesteros – Supersudaca – Anne Querrien – Eduardo Pellejero – Godofredo Pereira – Patriciodel Real – Paulo Tavares.

I have just updated a page with information on this project. 5 years ago we opened a crazy interdisciplinary project named Storage. After a year of research through out the University Museums, we picked 570 objects and invited a dozen of artists to develop and show new artworks. You may (re)visit here:
