SYNOPSIS<\/h5>

The Possibility of an Island is a collection of devices that invite the audience to reflect on various performative events whose premise is: the artist is not present. <\/p>

Here the conceptual dichotomy between the present time of the phenomenon and the physical absence of the artist\/work is the starting point that unites all the pieces proposed for this project, taking the public’s interactivity with the work to a place of questioning where the intentionality of art lies: is the work the intention of looking at an object or is it simply the object exposed to the public’s gaze? <\/p>

The pieces presented here can be read as islands of events that appear and disappear to the rhythm of the reader\/spectator who, with their presence, causes micro-events to emerge and submerge in the macro-vacuum exhibited in the gallery.<\/p>

In an attempt to amplify and disseminate the idea that the artist is not present or that the work is not here, “The Possibility of an Island” is being shown in 4 cities in 2 different countries at the same time.<\/p>

This project is the result of a collaboration between Terceira Pessoa, from Castelo Branco, and Darling Desperados, from Stockholm, both artistic creation organizations that have followed very close paths in terms of the form and content of some of their projects. On the one hand, the practices closely linked to the stage arts, namely theater, as well as the constant questioning of this discipline, brings the two structures a relationship of mutual admiration for the way they work. <\/p>

The work that the structures have been developing over the last three years, which deals with the digital and virtual worlds, has also given strength to this partnership. In “The Possibility of an Island”, the structures challenged themselves to work on the performativity of the body – the analog – in direct relation to the absence of physicality – the virtual. This binomial challenges the artistic team, even when physically absent, to create a set of works that activate a physicality, a presence and a present, thus fulfilling their long-held desire to develop an artistic project together. <\/p>

Darling Desperados <\/strong>was founded by Ulrika Malmgren and Katta P\u00e5lsson.<\/p>

They met at the Malm\u00f6 Theater School, where they attended the same class in 84-87.<\/p>

Award-winning performances and pioneering artistic works have made the name a symbol associated with an avant-garde art form that is always looking for collaborations with new techniques, strong stories, innovative staging, avant-garde artists and also offers a space for residencies and artistic research in relation to the public. It has staged, directed and performed more than 50 original works, 15 short films and toured internationally. <\/p>

His first production was a film based on a play about Marilyn Monroe’s last 30 seconds before the moment of her death. <\/p>

The decision that Darling Desperados should contain everything they wanted, films, theater, music, performance, exhibitions? made it their playground and workplace for almost 25 years.<\/p>
