Fields of Prepositions Sesc Ipiranga

“Contradictions in themselves, mixtures and time reveal themselves to be, like my soul, hazy, variable, undulating, hued, Aquitaine. My soul, mixtures and time can’t express themselves through nouns, too stable, nor adjectives, too juxtaposed, but describe themselves more precisely through the assortment of their prepositions: before and after building the viscous fluidity, with and without the hesitant divisions, on and under the true and false subject, for and against the violent passions, behind and before the lax hypocrisies and the brave loyalties, in and out the bodily and theoretical, social and professional claustrophobias, between and beyond the metaphysical vocation of the herald archangel, to and from my travelling furore, a fine topology that best expresses places and proximities, ruptures and continuances, accumulations and rarities, positions and sites, flows and evolutions, the liquidity of solvents and solutes.”

The artist, thinker and babalorixá Kabila Aruanda proposes a brief reflection on the territory of devastation that we are currently living in. A devastation inside and outside, of each individual, a social, political, economic and natural resource devastation: "In this territory of devastation, we have two very clear choices: to live of hope, to hope that something, preferably other than me, will happen and lead me to another stage, in my life, in my existence. Or, to empower myself in the time of the now and to be me the agent. I transforming what is inside and what is outside. A territory of devastation is not a destroyed territory. A territory of devastation is a territory that must and can be restored in the time of the now. It integrates the sound installation "Aparelhagem" [Rig] of Fields of Prepositions - Sesc Ipiranga, by O grupo inteiro (15/09 -12/04/2016).

The National Congress Palace is one of Brasilia’s postcard images and is located at the eastern end of the Eixo Monumental (Monument Axis). It sits at one of the vertices that outlines the Três Poderes (Three Branches) triangle. At the bottom vertices of the triangle are the Palácio do Planalto (Presidential Palace) and the Supreme Court. Designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, the National Congress is made up of a main, horizontal building, which acts as a platform for the Senate and the House of Representatives’ domes.
