EDITION // first print run of 10
DESIGN // mobile studio
PUBLISHER // msdm publications
ABOUT THE WORK:
This deck of cards developed from the performative installation DOMENEST, a collaboration between paula roush and natercia caneira at msdm House-studio- gallery. Activated in several public gatherings throughout 2020-2021, DOMENEST consisted of an evolving assemblage of furniture, household items, studio collections, photographs and music instruments nested under a hanging sculpture made of white gossamer fabric. The title is a new word made by joining the word DOME, a site-specific reference to msdm location, facing a former Rapier missile-training dome and THE NEST, a symbol featured in the card pulled out of the Holcomb Tarot the day the installation was created.
Upon their arrival on the 1st floor of the building, participants were handed a card from the DOMENEST deck for an experiential hands-on engagement with installation. The first two iterations of the deck, contained single words, designed to stir up curiosity, open-mindedness, spiritual awareness and intuitive playfulness. This 3rd iteration of the deck of cards evolved from observing the users performing the installation, and reflecting on how they worked together, and reorganised the elements in the installation to create new constellations of sounds, visuals, and environments. We envision it as a set of creative strategies for group work and play, that can be used with DOMENEST installation as well as applied to other situations. It may be useful when facilitating collaborative projects, particularly in the field of interdisciplinary visual arts, when dealing with archives, collections of photographs, and found objects.
Keeping with msdm ethos, dedicated to mobile strategies of display and mediation, the cards contain instructions that can be applied to situations related to change, be it moving from one building to another, transforming a collection of objects into an intuitively organised archive, or many other process-based enquiries that aim to achieve open and recombinatory outcomes. When all the 21 cards are layed out in a 3 x 7 grid arrangement, the detail images combine to reveal the total DOMENEST installation, viewed from two sides of the building: the west side (black & white photographs with instructions) and the east side (colour photographs).

MEMÓRIA DE UM CONFINAMENTO

PUBLISHER // flipsnack
ABOUT THE WORK:
In the beginning of the quarantine, I made the decision to publish, on social media, all the works that I would create from then on while I was stuck at home. Using only the existing resources in my apartment, and without being able to go out to the studio, I would have to embrace my more experimentalist side and let everyone see the rawest aspect of my creative process. The goal was to create a new weekly routine, a virtual meeting point. To create an informal proximity between my works and an audience not specialized in the art in which I move freely. People I've slowly discovered in the twelve years of social interaction on facebook and instagram. Above all, I wanted to contribute to reducing isolation, showing how to use solitude in a fruitful way and how it is possible to be alone without feeling immersed in deep solitude.
Throughout Saturday, availability for all ideas, photographing new ones and filming the process and in the late afternoon. Decide what is important to give titles to these and whenever possible works dedicated to them also a small text about their origin, execution and installation. Over time I noticed that there were people waiting for my publication. They were curious and the works were released, the first to comment and the emotions they conveyed. Long dialogues were created, rich in observational details, peopled with inspired ideas that surpassed my imagination. This little book is dedicated to all these people, who will so generously and sympathetically join me on this long adventure.
