4pontos - ‘Sarilho‘ | Carlos + Jacinta + Ricardo + Sara]
CACGM Graça Morais Contemporary Art Centre - Bragança
materia | industrial textile waste
13 April to 7 June '013
The Garden of Graça Morais Contemporary Art Centre (Bragança) developed by the Architect Souto Moura, was the place for our intervention in 2013. Invited from our dearest curator Jorge Costa, the four elements of the group envelop the exterior garden, once again with a ‘materia’ coming from the textile industrial waste. The intersection tried to invade this white walls, with nodes and lines served as a wrapper package, subtracting his order and space. This connectivity with the territory and the loss of old habits, routines and legacies, artefacts from the weaving, plus the long-time knitting with spinning wheels and wool work Yarn winders, propose a ‘rendezvous’ listening to the old songs, rhythms and ephemeral memory talks.
The name ‘Sarilho’ as two simple definitions…1st a kind of winder ('artefact') in which the threads of the wooden tools are rolled to make skeins and 2nd induces us to the idea of confusion or disordered mess. The fragmented viral contamination, the carefully planned volumes and the construction of new, biomorphic and permeable bodies, created a lined atmosphere that feed the new fabric evoke the manufacturing customs, weaving hands stack the material that becomes the chaotic structure.

Inauguration and one day performance
With the help of Etnographic Museum Dr. Belarmino Afonso in Bragança and with our friends + elements from the Students Theatre of Bragança City Fernanda Nogueiro, Helena Martins, Leonor Afonso, Luís Silva, Madalena Stamate, Mª Armanda Freitas e Mª Cristina Magalhães we were able to ear the song (Doba, doba, dobadeira), the old routines of knitting and working involving tradition and that ‘disordered’ structure. The contemporary performance that mixed this confluent time was performed by Lúciula Zanella, music from Mário Cardoso and costumes from Patrícia Costa. Old benches belong to Tia Berta and Tia Margarida from Gondesende Village, plus the amazing help of Antonio Ramião, Filipe Carlos and the company Quadrado Branco and all the team from CACGM. The sound and video were done by our amazing students, Ana Tagami, Filipe Rodrigues, Nuno Rato, Rafael Pereira and Ricardo Anderson.
