Multifunction Apparatus
by Ana Fradique



"Multifunction Apparatus is an object-performance/urban intervention/mobile installation created by the artist Ana Fradique and displayed lately on the streets of the city of Helsinki. The Apparatus is an object with many different functions: lightning bolts and snow protector, hiding place, camouflage, rain coat, skirt, stool, bowl of the giant, tent, egg shell, parabolic antenna, lotus, parachute, shell of Venus, sitting cloud, umbrella, water lily, Las Meninas dress, megaphone, gramophone, and a few more...

Actually, I like it because it is a dynamic-interactive object; it acquires different significances/more functions according to the imagination and wishes of the viewer-user. Walking almost flat on the floor of Aleksanterinkatu or as a flamboyant dress she got inside the tram with, it looks original. She is always inside and often hiding, contemplating or walking/moving, so if you see her around tell her hello for me. In a way it made me recall Yoko's bags, but with a different support structure, many functions, and a different concept behind it. She looks like a walking snow flake, a cloud, a lotus, a fried egg with no yolk, a bellflower, a white UFO and whatever else I can imagine.

Sitting inside her shell in front of the busy Stockmann's main door, under the iconic clock which is a meeting point for dozens of people every day and represents the vibrating pulse of the entire city, Ana watches the people running busy to their meetings and states that Apparatus is a place for a time without hours. Talking about a picture where a policeman looks astonished while she walks on the pedestrian cross, Ana explains why she went out to the street: "The idea was to commit the crime of occupying too much space. It looks like such situation in not contemplated in the codes here". I found the idea funny and original. And she was not jailed.

Ana studied Painting in Lisbon's Fine Arts Academy and is now in Helsinki working on her Masters degree. She is very talented and multitasked, as she works as well in painting or performances as she does with groundbreaking jewellery, for example.

I met Ana some years ago during a reunion of Portuguese Young Creators, most of the people present back then, during that Summer, kept in touch ever since - Ana is in Helsinki, Catia Coias is now in Lisbon and once in a while in London developing her photography projects and arts platform, Joana Bértolo went to Berlin, then came back to Lisbon and is now off having a great time, developing a very interesting arts web platform related with design and social awareness, working with an Argentinean books-cardboard atelier and doing her PhD in Buenos Aires.

David C. is still around Lisbon playing his guitar and stopping for some periods in Brazil, Filipa has been travelling around to Austria, etc. and building her career as a writer and journalist very steadily, Eduardo went to Heidelberg, wrote books and screenplays, studied the German Theatre masters and has permanent plans to travel more, from Zanzibar to Mali to Mexico to Asia (last time I knew something, he wanted to cross Africa by train), David S. went to Edinburgh, Chile and Hawaii just to watch the stars in the sky.

Jorge became a director, screenplay writer and, as he says when introducing himself, a "freelancer of life", Manuel became a maestro and is studying composition in Leipzig, Isabelle moved again to her home-city/dream-city Paris to work on her MPhil in Visual and Digital Arts, Andreia is boosting her comics, Victor is having tremendous success with his choreographies and dance shows both here and abroad, collaborating with dancers all around the world, the last time I knew about Cátia S. she was taking photos in Switzerland and having dinner in Barcelona, David P. went to London for his design MPhil and Inês is now auditioning dancers for her new Summer dance show.

I miss them all very much, and it's always a pleasure to see-share new work or spends time with them."(and its always a pleasure to see-share your new work or spend some time with you as well!)

trace.
Rua da padaria.Depois de uns meses atribulados no coração de Alfama, aquele seria o nosso próximo poiso.Naturalmente que não correu bem.Naturalmente que eu sai, ele saiu.E em breve esta casa se tornará totalmente despojada de nós para dar lugar a um qualquer estranho. Franzirá o sobrolho à parede vermelha da qual nunca usufruimos?ou às paredes amarelas do quarto?estranhará as muitas coisa que eu ainda deixei por lá ficar?lençóis,roupa interior,brincos,pulseiras,panelas,tachos,batons,sapatos,livros,cds,recordações de férias…
Curiosamente, uma das chaves continua ainda na minha posse.Queria deita-las ao mar ,e juro que fui com elas até à Arrábida para o fazer,mas quando cheguei à beira da água e olhei para o porta -chaves, não consegui distinguir as duas chaves da rua da padaria das duas chaves da casa do Porto…são as quatro incrivelmente iguais!hesitei durante algum tempo,mas seria muito arriscado deitar ao mar o par de chaves erradas!Desiludida,encolhi os ombros e lá voltei com o porta chaves inteiro para Lisboa…depois recordei-me dos meus restantes pertences.Irão estes para o lixo?Irá algum estranho ,apropriar-se dos meus pertences?irá esse alguém usar os meus vestidos,os meus brincos e pulseiras ao mesmo tempo que ouve os meus cds e vê os meus filmes?dado a proximidade física irão estes parar à feira da ladra?muitos dos objectos que por lá encontramos passaram por estórias muito semelhantes:despojos,separações,divórcios etc…e é um fim triste e humilhante, o destes objectos,atirados para o chão da rua, vendidos por tuta e meia...enfim.pessoas,ligações,casas e coisas.ele diz que é o vento.

Secção 5: Perturbações dos ossos, articulações e músculos

Temas: Torcicolo espasmódico - Síndromas de fibromialgia - Bursite - Tendinite e tenosinovite




Torcicolo espasmódico

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O torcicolo espasmódico é um espasmo doloroso contínuo ou intermitente dos músculos do pescoço, que força a cabeça a rodar e a inclinar-se para a frente, para trás ou para os lados.

O torcicolo afecta uma em cada 10 000 pessoas e é, aproximadamente, 10 vezes mais frequente nas mulheres do que nos homens. A perturbação pode apresentar-se em qualquer idade, mas a sua incidência é maior entre os 30 e os 60 anos. Em geral, desconhece-se a sua causa, mas por vezes o torcicolo deve-se a doenças como o hipertiroidismo, as infecções do sistema nervoso, as disquinésias tardias (movimentos faciais anormais produzidos pela ingestão de medicamentos antipsicóticos) e os tumores do pescoço.

Raramente os recém-nascidos sofrem de torcicolo (torcicolo congénito) como consequência de lesões nos músculos do pescoço durante um parto difícil. (Ver secção 23, capítulo 254) O desequilíbrio dos músculos oculares e as deformidades musculares ou ósseas da parte superior da coluna vertebral podem causar torcicolos nas crianças.

00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:56,448
Tudo tem um motivo.
83
00:06:59,507 --> 00:07:00,990
É como estas tartes e bolos.
84
00:07:02,530 --> 00:07:03,560
No final de cada noite...
85
00:07:04,614 --> 00:07:07,801
o cheesecake e a tarte de maçã
acabam sempre...
86
00:07:07,915 --> 00:07:12,986
...a torta de pêssego e o bolo de
mousse de chocolate também quase que acabam.
87
00:07:13,162 --> 00:07:17,284
Mas há sempre uma tarte de mirtilos
que sobra, ainda intocada.
88
00:07:19,347 --> 00:07:21,221
Então o que há de mal
com a tarte de mirtilos?
89
00:07:21,224 --> 00:07:24,756
Não há nada de mal com a tarte de mirtilos.
As pessoas é que fazem outras escolhas.
90
00:07:24,803 --> 00:07:27,921
Não se pode culpar a tarte
de mirtilos. Apenas ninguém a quer.

00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,039
Quero uma fatia."

constatação: todos os "artistas"têm o seu perfil biográfico escritos por terceiros,sejam estes(artistas) emergentes,subvergentes ou idigentes.pronto.eu-como "artista" indigente-agora também já tenho um perfil na terceira pessoa(ver "about me").já me sinto so very important.nem quando era vizinha da Margaret Tatcher na Underhill road, East Dulwich, me senti assim so very vip.

este bio descobri-o por acaso na internet e não faço ideia quem o terá escrito.mas está bonito.bonito como o dia de ontem-de-sol-que-esteve-e-hoje-também-mas-hoje-tenho-que-trabalhar.
