The High, Sofia and University of Coimbra were considered world heritage site in 2013 and this inscription served as a motto for the opening of the biennial Anozero that seeks to be a response from the contemporary art to this distinction.
In the first edition of the biennial, which ends on 29 November, will be more than 40 artists, including the Portuguese Julião Sarmento, Francisco Tropa, António Olaio or Rui Chafes, and international names like Americans Matt Mullican and Lawrence Weiner or Brazilian Adriana Varejao, who dialogue with the buildings of the city.
At the event, will be present “various provocations” by contemporary art to be a “place of transgression,” reacting to a classification “is a somewhat conservative enrollment and Heritage crystallization,” he told Lusa Carlos Antunes agency, which considers biennial who runs a sort of “Trojan horse on the scale of the city” – a place of fracture.
The event will take work and exhibitions in places as diverse as coffee Santa Cruz, the Botanical Gardens, the Science Museum, the National Museum Machado de Castro, the College of Grace or the Baroque Library.
In City Hall, the sculptor Pedro Cabrita Reis deconstructed the temporary exhibition structure that was in that old refectory of the friars; the Private Examination Room of the University of Coimbra Angolan Binelde Hyrcan presents a parable of the socioeconomic conditions of their country; and Lawrence Weiner relates to a poem by Mallarmé in French General Library.
The Baroque Library arise “provocation” as a piece of Adriana Varejao, entitled “Transbarroco” where nothing is explicit peaceful relationship between Brazilian artist with “the baroque and colonial dimension.”
The event has a single 15 euro ticket.
The biennial is organized by the Plastic Arts Circle of Coimbra, in conjunction with the University of Coimbra and the Municipality of Coimbra.
