Everything is Possible: João Paulo Feliciano and Rafael Toral with Trevor Tremaine and Lee Ranaldo

João Paulo Feliciano encerra em grande a sua presença no Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. Esta noite, o input para a escultura-instalação som/luz The Blues Quartet é fornecido pelo encontro de Feliciano com Toral, Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) e Trevor Tremaigne (Hair Police). Esta peça de Paulo Feliciano quebra fronteiras entre as artes visuais e sonoras. Quatro diferentes lâmpadas separadas por planos translúcidos respondem a estímulos sonoro, emitindo luz de forma imprevisível e supreendente. Os efeitos aleatórios da instalação serão seguramente potenciados pela improvisação dos músicos que irão excitar The Blues Quartet. E a própria coreografia de luz e cor proporcionada pela escultura influenciará os músicos, em feedback performativo: som que gera luz, que influencia os performers, que criam música, que alimenta a própria luz. Everything is Possible!

The Blues Quartet, João Paulo Feliciano

Músico, designer, escultor, performer, Paulo Feliciano tem conquistado grande notoriedade como artista plástico nos últimos anos. Uma exposição individual presente quatro meses num dos grandes espaços dedicados à arte contemporânea nos EUA, evidencia o potencial do artista. Em Portugal tem conseguido reconhecimento, tendo exibido nos últimos anos no Museu de Serralves, na Fundação Gulbenkian, ou mais recentemente na Culturgest com a retrospectiva The Possibility of Everything, final de 2006.

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
