angle terreiro do Paço (or, as is more internationally known tourist guides, praça do comércio ) where I still have not finished the long job of rebuilding the square, or what to be the maritime station, has been "enriched" with a work, quite controversial, authors of ' plastic artist who currently is the most popular, Joana Vasconcelos.
is a pool of resin, arranged vertically, like those that occasionally intersect exposed along the roads, made in the shape of Portugal (Portugal since then is almost rectangular in shape, is not readily understandable without that there was no geographical maniacs like myself), called in portugal banhos .
not discuss the validity of this, I am aware of the fact that among the functions of art is also to be provocative, but the provocation must be done intelligently, in the case of this pool from the title so obviously relatable to the plight of the Portuguese nation that lives, it seems rather trivial and obvious enough. The best result was obtained with the beautiful Noiva , a huge chandelier tampax visible until recently in the Museu Berardo .
puittosto find the wrong location. with his support of innocent pipes and cement blocks, within the framework of neoclassical praça do comércio there is like a punch in the eye.
then the square is one of the few free access to the city with its river (Tejo is the true work of art in Lisbon, but the port and railway lines do not allow the usability) and, until a few months ago, suffered the presence of a site that has cut off from city life x a couple of years. you can not just re-opened, close the view of the river with such ugliness. better worth exposing in front of one of the many shopping malls that the city has megagalattico.
the Vasconcelos should probably enjoy very powerful friends in order to always have a chance to put his belongings in public spaces, however important or highly visible.
fact she is the author of both the snake of rags, which last year was hanging from a building to the Cais do Sodre that the collanona of jewelry hanging from the tower of Belém in 2008. who knows what the superspace make available next year?
what about + speriam that 'I am the deep basin Bathroom tolghino soon ...
