Acreditamos que, se tudo correr como prevemos, dentro de alguns meses, teremos apoios institucionais que nos permitirão não só sobreviver, mas poder manter os dois espaços do CAPC abertos. Agradecemos o apoio e reconhecimento pelo lugar que o CAPC, há mais de 50 anos, tem na arte portuguesa e pela importância no percurso de tantos artistas.
Até lá temos de conseguir manter o CAPC aberto e a funcionar com toda a força!

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Tamtam 8
Weichselstr.8 10247 Friedrichshain Berlin
http://tamtam8taiwan.blogspot.com/

My project - The Vistulas - for Mirror, mirror on the wall departs from the location of the exhibition space Tamtam 8. The address of this space in Berlin is Weichselstraße, 8. The name of the street derives from the river Weichsel (or Wisła in Polish, Vistula in Spanish, Romanian and English, Vistule in French, Vístula in Portuguese, Vistola in Italian).

Vistula is one of the most important rivers in Poland and its name was first recorded by Pliny in AD 77 in his Natural History. He uses Vistula (4.52, 4.89) with an alternative spelling, Vistillus (3.06). The Vistula River ran into the Mare Suebicum, which is today known as the Baltic Sea. The root of the name Vistula is Indo-European ultimately from pre-Indo-European.  The definitive reference is probably Jordanes (Getica 5 & 17), who uses "Viscla". The Anglo-Saxon poem Widsith refers to it as the "Wistla".[1] 12th century Polish chronicler Wincenty Kadłubek called the river Vandalus from the Lithuanian "vanduo", meaning "water". Jan Długosz in his Annales seu cronicae incliti called the Vistula "White river": "a nationibus orientalibus Polonis vicinis, ab aquae condorem Alba aqua ... nominatur".

The history of this river is very rich and interesting, but when I started my research for this project I realized that the name of the Polish river is widely used to name living beings or inanimate things. And I started to collect references online. What I present for Mirror, mirror on the wall is a collection of selected disparate items that are named Vistula.

International Women’s Day. These works were not made with any political
movement in mind, but could they have been made without the barriers
being torn down by feminism? The programmes have been carefully selected
to keep a balance between poetry, wit, tenderness and home truths.

Santa Justa
Susana Mendes Silva

"Santa Justa" é um projecto que se enquadra num Programa Cultural de promoção da “Arte Pública” que a CARRIS pretende desenvolver em alguns veículos da sua frota de serviço público, recorrendo, em 2010, aos Ascensores e ao Elevador de Santa Justa, veículos classificados, desde 2002, como Monumentos Nacionais.
Os artistas participantes são Vasco Araújo no Ascensor do Lavra, Susana Anágua no Ascensor da Glória, Alexandre Farto no Ascensor da Bica e Susana Mendes Silva no Elevador de Santa Justa.

O meu projecto para o Elevador de Santa Justa tem dois momentos: um texto, em forma de carta dirigida aos passageiros, traduzido em nove línguas, e que convida todas as pessoas a enviarem as suas fotografias, histórias, desenhos, ou outros ficheiros para fazerem parte de um blog. Este blog é um arquivo de memórias e afectos sobre o Elevador. Dos afectos de todos os que nele viajam ou o visitam. Este arquivo está a ser permanentemente construído a partir da sua contribuição: as suas fotos, os seus vídeos, os seus textos, ou os seus desenhos sobre a sua experiência no Elevador de Santa Justa: http://santa-justa.blogspot.com/

Envie a sua contribuição para: susana.mendes.silva@gmail.com
Fico a aguardar notícias suas.

Obrigada,
Susana

Santa Justa
by Susana Mendes Silva

"Santa Justa" is a project that is part of a Cultural Program for the promotion of Art in Public Space, which CARRIS intends to carry out in some vehicles of its public service fleet. In 2010, the chosen vehicles were one lift and tree funiculars, all of them National Monuments since 2002. The participant artists are Vasco Araújo at Ascensor do Lavra, Susana Anágua at Ascensor da Glória, Alexandre Farto at Ascensor da Bica e Susana Mendes Silva at Elevador de Santa Justa.

My project for Santa Justa Lift has two moments: a text inside the elevator - which is a letter addressed to the passengers - translated in several languages - invites everyone to send their photos, drawings, stories or other to be part of a blog about the elevator.
This blog is an archive of memories and feelings about this elevator. Of the affection felt by those travelling in or visiting it.This archive is being constructed continuously with your contribution: your photographs, videos, texts or drawings on your Santa Justa Lift experience: http://santa-justa.blogspot.com/

Please send your contribution to: susana.mendes.silva@gmail.com
I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you,
Susana
