Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]PACAP 5\u2019s programming will aim to provide a diverse and non linear approach towards artistic research, employing as reference the study and experimentation of improvisation through Real Time Composition (bloc I); collaborative practices starting from a shared question (bloc II); and practices of individual research for each participant (bloc III). Depending on their interests and availability, participants will be able to opt for a 3, 6 or 9 month course. In order to do the second and third blocs participants must attend the previous ones. The number of participants will decrease as the course progresses: 24 in the first bloc, 16 in the second and 8 in the third and final one, thereby establishing different intensities and ways of involvement with the different research practices of decision, collaboration and creation proposed within the course.<\/p>\n

Jo\u00e3o Fiadeiro and some members of the Atelier RE.AL Collective (M\u00e1rcia Lan\u00e7a, Carolina Campos and Daniel Pizamiglio) will be present during the entire duration of the course in order to replicate the laboratorial practice that has always characterized our activity. This aims to produce a sense of continuity between blocs and create the condition to deepen the research experience, which would be difficult to implement if the course were structured around a more fragmented and punctual participation of external guests. Regardless, running parallel to a more constant relationship with the Atelier RE.AL Collective we will invite artists and researchers to direct occasional workshops associated with the subjects being explored in each bloc. With these invitations we aim to create a critical distance with regards to our practice, to tune in to other ways of thinking-doing artistic research and generate some breathing room between the cycles.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Proposal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Facing the current global crisis, and as much for the stunning speed with which the hegemonic world tries to return to \u201cnormal\u201d as for the monumental uncertainty that we keep experiencing, it is urgent to be more careful of our surroundings, more aware of details and more sensible to differences. It is very clear today that the systems’ sustainability and resilience does not result from our capacity to answer but from our ability to question. Specifically, our ability to frame the question. That is why a question like \u201cnot-knowing together\u201d is so important. It acknowledges that it is not about knowledge or consumption. It is about savoring, questioning and imagining the world. Together.<\/p>\n

Throughout the course we\u2019ll aim to keep pressure \u201con the wound\u201d implied by that question, repeating from different angles in different scales with different intensities and resisting the temptation to answer it. So that different formulations arise, different ways of being emerge, different positions present themselves. Somewhere, within all those differences, the \u201ccommon\u201d will appear. And when that happens we must be present to welcome it. Maybe that is our only responsibility: to show up when the present summons us.<\/p>\n

To understand events from this perspective (to face not-knowing as the only thing we have) is what motivates us in designing this course as a durational practice of being in the now. We are confident that it is here, in this gap opened in time, faced with the impossibility of proceeding, that the real possibilities of action are found. Because if it is true that interruption can immobilize us (through the suspension of our expectations), it can also be an unique opportunity to deactivate the habit of letting ourselves be taken in by the frenetic economy of attention the regimes of organizing and controlling desire submit us to. The personal and collective experience that results from the suspension of knowledge is, in this perspective, a key element in our political, civic and artistic bearings.<\/p>\n

It is in that gap – between the moment we collide with what affects us and the moment we relate to its possible manifestations – that the act of imagining, of disarranging and rearranging our perceptions, may take place. That exploration does not seek to stop movement nor to focus on it to the point of objectification. To explore the gap does not mean to propose an experience of contemplation or passiveness and even less to prioritize an embodiment of deep ennui as a space of creation. What this approach proposes is to exercise our abilities to move perception towards the periphery of the event, towards the infinitesimal relations that go through us and that can even contradict themselves. What this approach proposes is to find movement within pause. Time within time. The experience of coming to halt and taking notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotice\u201d in portuguese means \u201creparar\u201d. And \u201creparar\u201d can be understood as re-parar (to stop again), to restore, to notice. Those three meanings, when activated simultaneously, are extremely powerful. This gesture of coming to a halt and taking notice (of pausing, of consideration and of paying attention) is but an exercise of commitment to the present that, subsequently, creates the conditions for the development of a sense of responsibility towards our surroundings and towards each other.\u00a0\/\u00a0Curatorial<\/strong>\u00a0Team<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
