Dorota Gawęda (b. 1986, Lublin, PL) and Eglė Kulbokaitė (b. 1987, Kaunas, LT) are an artist duo founded in 2013, based in Basel (CH). Both are graduates of the Royal College of Art, London (2012). They work in a variety of media spanning performance, installation, video, sculpture and scent. They are the founders of YOUNG GIRL READING GROUP – YGRG (2013- ), a project that looks for a horizontal way of approaching text and sharing of knowledge, providing an intimate discursive space within the experience of collective reading. The duo are also the founders of Agatha Valkyrie Ice (2014- 2017) post-body avatar, under whose name they co-curated OSLO1O project space in Basel (2015-2017). Gawęda and Kulbokaitė have exhibited their work internationally including: FUTURA, Prague (solo); Schimmel Projects, Dresden (solo); Lafayette Anticipations, Paris; HKW, Berlin; Spazio Maiocchi, Milan; Lucas Hirsch Gallery, Düsseldorf (solo); Les Urbaines, Lausanne; ANTI – 6th Athens Biennale; Switzerland; Art in General, New York; Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Cell Project Space, London (solo); MMOMA, Moscow; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Amanda Wilkinson Gallery, London (solo); 13th Baltic Triennial, Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius; Kunsthalle Basel; ICA, London; SMK – National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen; Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf (solo); MOMA, Warsaw; SALTS, Basel; Berlin Biennale 9; Kunsthalle Zürich; among others. Upcoming solo exhibitions of the duo include: Julia Stoschek Collection, Düsseldorf, On Curating, Zürich and FriArt/Kunsthalle Fribourg, Trafo Gallery, Budapest.
Currently, Gawęda Kulbokaitė are focused on their ongoing serial project YOUNG GIRL READING GROUP that seeks for the act of reading as an intimate experience, holding the potentiality to become public performance through the “outlouding” of words otherwise underemphaissed. This accumulative project investigates the embodiment of language, positing the interdependence of the text, the reading body, the environment and technology, where the readers and their surroundings are rendered as the site of active and ongoing set of relations. Thinking through an instability of boundaries, formal incompleteness, porosity and the idea of fragmentariness rather than holism is important to the duo’s approach to both reading and their material practice.  Gawęda and Kulbokaitė intend to continue their research into scent, a media that lends itself to creating speculative environments.

Tiago de Abreu Pinto

In Rio, I'll be chatting with artists. Listening, mainly. Henceforth, said artists, will be the basis 
of fictional texts (perhaps, not so much, because everything they say is incorporated into the text 
and therefore not fictional and more real). The aforementioned artists should not be excluded from the 
dialogue after the text has been completed since I believe that contact with the artist must be 
continuous and permanent. In other words, I will connect the artist's message (or, better said, voice) 
to the public through texts that incorporate features of his idiosyncrasy. In the sweet slopes of this 
communication, the allusion to Mikhail Bakhtin's dialectical and dialogical forms will become clear to 
explore new forms of critical mediation. Furthermore, this process will transform the different voices 
of the artists into a fictional mass that sheds light on various themes such as: (a) interpretation 
and neutrality, (b) the limits between fiction and reality and (c) different ways in which contemporary 
artists incorporate your ideas.
 
Tiago de Abreu Pinto is an independent writer and curator, Ph.D in Art History from the Complutense 
University of Madrid. He won the Art Curatorship Scholarship awarded by the Gwangju Art Biennial, 
South Korea in 2012, and the Art Se Busca Comisario Art Curator Award from the Community of Madrid,

Bernardo Stumpf

Brazilian artist, art-educator and cultural stirrer, graduate in dance, mainly interested in articulating different forms and conditions to develop sensible material and experience.

“CAPACETE was the second of a series of six residencies I participated in 2012/2013, in which I was developing a gestural, behavioral, choreographic and conceptual research I was calling “Escavações” (Excavations). Once I was able to have a lot of proper time to arrange my activities along all of those residencies, and having CAPACETE’s context in between of two others where I was and would be pushed hard into practical experimentation, I decided to make Rio (a very familiar place for me, because I lived there for 10 years) a place/context to be more quiet and still, reading more, listening more, paying attention and so on. I remember the moments of the days I enjoyed the most were like being at the kitchen with other artists, listening to their desires, concerns, struggles and efforts, cooking and talking about nothing precise, chit-chatting with the woman that used to clean the common spaces of the apartment (I’m sorry I don’t remember the names of much of those companions, but for me what mattered were their presences), and also when someone was being visited by outsiders; it was great having time to give time to the presence of the other. Maybe that’s the clearer remembrances (maybe more as feelings) I have from the time at CAPACETE, but nonetheless, despite blurred and apparently artistically meaningless, those experiences brought me thoughts and motivations that were deeply important for the sequels of my excavations.”


DAG Nordbrenden

“In many ways Capacete was an opening chapter to a series of visits to the country. I have been coming back every winter since, developing different projects around themes of nature and corruption in the north east region of Brazil. I did a solo show titled ‘Condominium’ at Akershus Kunstsenter in Norway in 2015 where I exhibited a project looking at massive holiday apartment complexes, built for Norwegians, close to Natal that came to a halt due to financial crisis and a money laundring scandal. At the moment I’m working on an artist book that connects images from trips to Brazil. It will be a lyrical documentary of a region, where contemporary ruins destroyed by financial crisis and corruption are combined with images of landscapes and of hallucinatory nature. It will also include a CD of sound recordings.”


Jimmy Robert

Jimmy Robert (born 1975) works in a range of media—including photography, sculpture, film, video, and collaborative performance—gently breaking down divisions between two and three dimensions, image and object. Robert’s work is guided by an interest in the body and the poetic potential of ephemeral materials such as paper and tape. Creating form through gesture, he draws inspiration from artists such as Yvonne Rainer and Yoko Ono. His exploration of moving bodies, crumpling paper, and repetitive gestures, in works that feature actions such as a hand tearing tape from skin or fingers rubbing a text, has come to define him as an artist of touching.

 “These images document places where I did for example a bit of research towards the theater of the oppressed and its remnants in Rio and in particular in this psychiatric institute in Jurujuba as well as an exhibition of Art Brut following the legacy of Doctor Nise da silveira at the Instituto Moreira salles where by chance I discovered the work Ana Cristina Cesar.

There is also a still of the performance I did at the teatro Ipanema with the group of artists/community around Capacete at the time. Finally, a production still of the video installation Vanishing point showed at the 8th Berlin Biennial where I filmed on super 8 the amazing drag performer Erika Vogue doing a dazzling performance of Bate cabelo throughout the modernist edificio Capanema. We also went to Ilha Grange as a group which was a simply unforgettable moment, here you see Helmut with a Penguin which had somehow lost its way to the south.”

“Participei da “residência para Gestores Independentes” em 2010. Foi sem dúvidas uma das experiências mais ricas e profundas que pude ter durante uma residência. Em um mês juntos/as, passamos por SP, MG e RJ, conhecendo formas diversas de gestão institucional e autônoma, pública e privada. Generosidade e afeto eram parte do exercício político diário em busca de transformações sejam em nossos próprios modos de conduzir os projetos, tanto quanto nos modos de reinventar um estar-juntos/as enquanto coletividade. Fiz amigos/as que seguem até hoje. Trabalhamos, sorrimos e choramos juntos/as. Seguimos nossos caminhos de maneira que possam se encontrar sempre que possível. “Amar e mudar as coisas me interessa mais” dizia o mestre Belchior.”


Sasha Huber

Sasha Huber is a visual artist of Swiss-Haitian heritage, born in Zurich (Switzerland) in 1975. She lives and works in Helsinki (Finland). Huber’s work is primarily concerned with the politics of memory and belonging, particularly in relation to colonial residue left in the environment. Sensitive to the subtle threads connecting history and the present, she uses and responds to archival material within a layered creative practice that encompasses video, photography, collaborations with researchers, and performance-based interventions. She has also discovered the compressed-air staple gun as a tool capable of producing visually arresting works that also functions like a symbolic weapon, offering the potential to renegotiate unequal power dynamics.


Cristina Ribas

“Capacete is many things in my life, and I have been part of it with many different intensities, along the years… starting more or less in 2007! A space for learning, producing and thinking, a (non)school, a project space, and a space for feeding up the body and the soul in all sorts of energetic levels”


Mauricio Marcin

“I live in Mexico City, my full name is Mauricio Marcin Alvarez, that hasn’t changed. I now work in a space I co-funded with 4 other guys and girls called Aeromoto. Recién noto que han pasado cerca de siete años desde que fui a Capacete. Tengo tantas hermosas memorias que me resulta complicado alejarme del sentimentalismo. Ni modo. Diré que descubrí en compañía y en diálogo con los gestores dependientes potencias sensoriales, zonas erógenas, sobre la retaguardia y la fragilidad de la vida. Se abrió el telón que dejó descubiertos todos los miedos. Miré un sapo por un instante eterno y en el brotó la sonrisa de Helmut. ¿Habrá sido místico, todo ello? Simonel.”


Rodrigo Quijano

“Con toda sinceridad, la experiencia con capacete en el 2011 fue un poco confusa, pero nunca olvidaré los días pasados con lxs compañerxs en el piso 21 y 22 del Copan. Ahí hice estupendos amigos, tomé mucho café, escribí poemas y miré mucho por la ventana, pero sobre todo conocí entrañablemente a Mauricio Marcín.”


Alicia Herrero

“Como si las palabras almacenaran tesoros, ritmos y sentidos infinitos, residir puede derivar en re-incidir. Así, todo el secreto de una residencia artística estaría oculto en la acción que implica su coloquial nominación. Su mejor meta. ¿Qué otra cosa podemos aspirar de esta experiencia, que no sea incidir una y otra vez de forma intercambiable entre lxs unxs y lxs otrxs? Solo re-in-ci-dien-do una y otra vez, habrá trabajo compartido. Deslocalizarse es siempre grato para mi, no siempre se logra, muchas veces las exposiciones y actividades de agenda, hacen que esto no sea posible, incluso cambiando de lugar. En Capacete se logra, y lo digo por mi propia experiencia ya que la residencia me tomó en medio de la realización de un proyecto para una bienal y dos exposiciones en otros dos paises. Se logra porque Capacete incide en unx y abre el corazón a ser incidido. No solo durante su estadía. Cinco años despúes, un tramo de esa experiencia reaparece en una nueva serie. Incide, reincide, y vuelvo a incidir. Pero hay otros secretos ocultos en las palabras. Residir reincidir puede derivar en resistir. ¿Qué otra cosa se anhela, sino, que una residencia de artistas, logre ser el lugar dónde resistir ciertas normas epocales? Una zona de resistencia, lo es también de emancipación, de aventura y solidaridad. ¿Capacete? Un lugar extra-ordinario del planeta. Una residencia que reincide en ser una resistencia existencia”

CHÃO SLZ
São Luís _Maranhão _ Brasil

https://www.facebook.com/chao.slz

Experimentalmente voltado às práticas de formação não convencionais, Chão surge da intenção de se irradiar sentido em ambientes propícios para o diálogo e os processos elásticos de ampliação e troca direta de conhecimentos com o público, universidades, espaços independentes afins, instituições parceiras e manifestações do entorno, acerca da pesquisa no contexto da cultura visual e cultura contemporânea.

Como projeto, o Chão baseia-se nas ações espontâneas de sua rede de contatos bastante consolidada e na hipótese de existência de um novo terreno de atuação crítica junto à vida coletiva, desejando apresentar um formato de programação continuamente alternada, contemplando todas as faixas etárias, e que inclua: conferências, debates, cursos e oficinas, exposições, mostras de filmes e vídeos, performances, música e dança, encontros com comida, festas, residências, expedições, publicações impressas e online, ações políticas, sociais e de resistência.

Localizado no Centro Histórico de São Luís do Maranhão, o Chão tem dois espaços na região tombada pelo IPHAN em 1974 e reconhecida como Patrimônio Cultural Mundial pela Unesco em 1997: o _Casarão, localizado próximo ao Mercado Central, onde acontecem as residências, e o _Galpão, edificação histórica situada no bairro da Praia Grande, ambos do final do século XVIII, para realização de projetos e programação aberta ao público.

Fundado em 2015 por um grupo de artistas, curadores e gestores, atualmente é composto por Samantha Moreira (curadora e fundadora do Ateliê Aberto de Campinas), pelos artistas e produtores maranhenses Camila Grimaldi e Dinho Araújo, e pelo artista visual Thiago Martins de Melo, e pelo curador  Marcio Harum, de São Paulo.

Lilian Maus

Lilian Maus is an artist/researcher and born in Salvador – Bahia, Brazil. She currently resides between the cities of Porto Alegre, Osório and Recife. She has a PhD in Visual Poetics from PPGAV – Arts Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and a Masters in Art History, Theory and Criticism. From the same University, she has also obtained a B.A. in Plastic Arts and a B.Ed. in Visual Arts. As a researcher she writes for art magazines and manages publications, such as the book “The Ladies Have the Floor: dialogues on the inclusion of women in visual arts” (2014) and “Studies of the Earth” (2017).

“In 2011 I participated in the CAPACETE’s Program for Latin American artists and it really caused great changes in my life. In this residence I met friends who have transformed me deeply and with whom I have been developing artistic projects. Since then, we have come sharing a life, feeding good conversations, discussions and having an intense conviviality. In CAPACETE I learned that art can often spring from a good breakfast, without the need to call it “art”, without setting specific goals for a project, just letting the flow of creation be born happily and spontaneously. No one walks a path alone, the artist is interdependent of the system in which he operates and changes are only possible through actions with peers, understanding the complexity of art beyond the walls of the museum.”


Elsa Bourdot

“I was in Capacete San Paulo for four months, six years ago, and I still have in mind great memories of Clara, Maaike, Joris, Rafa, Wolfe and Helmut, of the view from Edifício Copan, of the caïpirinha(s) at the Bar do Museu, of the perpetual fog, of the trip around Ilha Grande, of our work sessions on the patio, of all the people coming in and out all the time (especially this one woman with her baby who rang at the door one day and with whom we all spend two hours talking, convinced that she was the friend of someone in the room before realizing, when she left, that none of us knew her), of the awkwardness of our luxury situation compared to that of the locals, of Jarbas’s daughter, of the beauty of the city, of the feeling to be lost and of Pride Prejudice and Zombies No. 1. It’s been an amazing and quite unique moment.”


Joris Lindhout

Co-founder of Deltaworkers, an international residency program in New Orleans, US. Jan van Eyck Academy alumnus and current graduate student and Teaching Assistant in digital media at Tulane University in New Orleans. Our experience at Capacete has shaped our view on how projects can develop and firmed our idea about residencies and how they can be fruitful for both host and resident. The fact that Helmut chose very careful in who he wanted at the residency and how he let everyone go their way however way the best fit to the artist, has proven a good strategy. We had the chance to live at Helmuts house on top of the mountain and see how he devoted his time to art and life. It inspired us to become ambitious in not following the existing paths too much. Another thing that was very inspiring was that Helmut shared a lot of questions he had with us, about how to continue the residency while developing the school. This openess and dedication to art led to the creation and development of the Deltaworkers residency program in New Orleans, which was build with the Capacete principles at its core. We give space to artists from different disciplines and want them to try to understand the city before even thinking of producing anything. It’s the constant dialogue on multiple levels that feeds the projects, which is apparent in the results. After the residency in Capacete we created an installation and performance, for both of us a new step in our careers.

Trine Mee Sook Gleerup

Trine Mee Sook is a visual artist working within installation, text and performance. Deeply invested in historical, national and political tendencies her artistic performance-based methodology also questions the politics and history of performance art itself. From a post-colonial and gender-related perspective her work is debating cultural and racial stereo-typing and representation, as well as it strives to (re)negotiate overall power structures, and identity building.

“My heart and body remembers my time at Capacete with beats of joy. And my mind does not disagree on bit! Capacete was the perfect hub for contemplation, exploration, and important encounters with lots of great and dear artists & researchers traveling through. I was so lucky to experience the residency in both Sao Paulo and Rio, and I wish Capacete the best of luck with future adventures. Special thanks to: Tamar Guimarres, Rafael RG, Denise Milfort & Helmut Bartista.”


Falke Pisano

Falke Pisano (Amsterdam) lives and works in Berlin. Her diagrammatic works expose a loop, in which shifting abstract sculptural forms are conceived directly in relation to written and spoken language, implying an ongoing and morphing production of meaning. In the publication ‘’Figures of Speech’’ (designed and co-edited by Will Holder, published by JRP-Ringier, Christoph Keller Editions, 2010) Pisano brought together her work focusing on the act of speech in relation to different forms of agency in artistic production. The artist second cycle of works (2011-) “The Body in Crisis” consists of a series of propositions and inquiries that look at the body in crisis as an ongoing event.
