“[Drawing Machine] […] with the Sound of its Own Making”, 2019
Beech and pine wood, steel, lead, nylon, pencil, paper, four tire set and audio player.
100 x 70 x 70 cm
Developed during the artistic residence of the Biennial of Coruche in Portugal, this drawing machine was made by cutting a work table – designed by José Espinho and produced by Olaio Furniture Makers in the 1970’s – which was also the table used to initially design and conceive the drawing machine itself. A wooden cube with about 70 cm width was built and several doors of different sizes were added to the cube. When the doors open the simple mechanisms placed inside the cube automatically draw random scrawls in a sheet of paper. At the same time, it is also possible to hear the sound recorded at the carpentry during the production of this work. This piece invites the audience to interact with it and discover it.

“’Lying Behind the Glass’ é o nome da exposição coletiva que teve a Casa Esperança em Braga como palco, tendo sido delineada especificamente para este edifício emblemático da cidade, num diálogo que se estabelecia entre o legado patrimonial e a apropriação e reinterpretação do mesmo por parte de um coletivo de artistas de relevo da arte contemporânea portuguesa, tendo como pano de fundo a Noite Branca – Braga, evento de celebração e exaltação de múltiplas manifestações artísticas e culturais.”
“A organização da Noite Branca – Braga, em parceria com a Galeria Showme DesignandArte, apresentou a exposição coletiva que contou com os artistas: Isaque Pinheiro, Carlos Mensil, Filipe Marques, Filipe Cortez, João Pedro Trindade, Ines Norton, Hugo Castro e Marco Moreira, num convite que se estendeu a toda a comunidade que visitou a cidade nesse grande acontecimento anual, exortando à fruição e participação de todos.”
