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.”

Architecture are artefacts that remain. They are prescriptive by nature – a design that plans a space, proposes behaviours and determines conducts. A design plots, projects itself from a distance in an attempt to organise life, which, in its everyday struggle, hits back, subverts, reprograms and resignifies.

Parkour is a practice where people aim to transpose obstacles in their way in either urban or rural settings: tree trunks, rocks, fences, walls, etc. Male practitioners of parkour are known as traceurs, with the feminine form being traceuse, owing to the sport’s French origin.

Performer artist Aretha Saddick questions the rules of occupation of the city spaces and of the prepositions in the Portuguese language ,in this fragment of her performance "N.U. (Na.Unha)” for the project Fields of Prepositions - Sesc Ipiranga with O grupo inteiro (15 / 09 - 04/12/2016): "In the places of conviviality, building, courtyard, house, city, ramp, street, boteco (bar), boulevard. Who occupies them? In such areas of occupation and free relationship, between quotation marks, that is, exchange. Who defines when, where and how? Field of preposition. "

The artist Enrico Rocha reflects on the notions of neighborhood, as part of the sound installation Aparelhagem [Rig] of the project Fields of Prepositions - Sesc Ipiranga, by O grupo inteiro (15/09 - 12/04/2016).

"In a neighborhood relation, you negotiate what is common. The proximities as well as the necessary distances ... It is good to think that a good neighborhood politics must start from reciprocal relations. It is good to believe that between war and the colonizing diplomacy, there are other possible relations of neighborhood, at any scale. Livig together, speaking with, trating, compromising. There are several fundamental actions for the common life that we do not do alone. The neighborhood relations are woven by actions such as these. So, it is necessary disposition and disponibility (willingness) to combine actions with this assumption of the existence of the other. "
