SUPERPOWERS OF TEN

Superpowers of Ten, by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation.
Superpowers of Ten is a reenactment, a cover version and a reinterpretation of the iconic Powers of Ten made in 1968 by Charles and Ray Eames. Powers of Ten represents an important part of the cultural context we live in and this new live version aims to celebrate the struggle of inhabiting in and out of the frame, recuperating narratives lost somewhere in the scaling up and in the scaling down of the camera. This original piece written, directed and performed by the architect Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation contextualizes this story into contemporary discourse by surfacing the complexity inscribed in global systems. This powerful play was staged in the square three times during the opening week. In this particular act, the city will work as a stage while the audience observes from within the Civic Stage.
Programme.- New Publics - Public Theatre.
Venue.- Praça da Figueira, Lisboa.
SUPER HATCH

Super Hatch, por PKMN.
Super Hatch proposes an analogical re-inerpretation in real scale of one of those digital graphic tools: Cad Hatch Patterns. Hatch Patterns don’t have a scale though they’re used to represent the real materials that are used on public space design in cities. The re-interpretation process consists on the physical drawing of some of these hatch patterns superimposed to surfaces of public spaces in Lisbon. Could a superhatch modify, activate or encourage an urban space?

CIVIC SWING

Civic Swing, by Estudio SIC.
Golf is not a sport. It’s a powerful urbanization tool. A practice that mediates between nature, the city and the bodies to train power over the territory. The new cities are planned with the golf course as an urbanizing engine. Insert the golf in Plaça do Figueira means to represent the political sphere where decision are taken, negotiates between agents, it’s a place where urban performs.
The project aims to implement access to represent other bodies and other voices with different instruments based on each citizen, expressing heterogeneous diversity that public space can hold. An action where disrupt other bodies, excluded of these places, of decision, ultimately excluded from the game, take sides and become a part of a new place of decisions: the Civic Swing.

LET THE THINGS GO DOWN TO GO UP TO GO DOWN TO GO UP

Let the things go down to go up to go down to go up to go down, by Luis Úrculo.
Timeline goes on and demands evolution. Across history, the apropiation, decomposition and reusing have been basic tools of progress and development.
The proposal for Triennale starts at this way of thinking and acting, in which several actions will be done individually or in group. Visitors themselves will destroy the presented structures (evolutive destruction) to build from the result another construction, which will be constantly destroyed in a continuous becoming of building and demolishing.
We must surpass limits of respectable and static. Starting at collapse to create a new space of reference, as it can be destroyed and then evaluated again.

Presented as an infrastructure for communal reasoning about the rights to the city and the rights of being a citizen, the intent of this project is to build a Universal Declaration of Urban Rights, aiming to reach a consensus about the methodologies that regulate the construction, legislation and use of public space. Every Tuesday at 19:00, there is a Parliamentary Session led by guest speakers, open to the public, that contributes to the making of one article. Based on a trial and error methodology, the declaration will evolve as the project develops, throughout the course of the exhibition, written in successive drafts.
Exhibition.- The Real and Other Fictions.
Venue.- Carpe Diem Arte e Pesquisa. R. de O Século, 79, Bairro Alto (Lisbon).
Opening hours.- Tuesday-Saturday, 15.00h-22.00h.
