mobile home a project that was run in loule as part of the allgarve art shows shown across the region during the summer,many of the shows where presented in unusual locations for example the salt mines in loule, a church in silves and fonte de pipe an old manor house in loule. milita dore an artist friend took part in the workshops,running over 5 weeks a very concentrated work period. 25 artist from the region took part and where aided by a number of guest artist/tutors whose role was to instigate a series of workshops that where thought provoking, the course was a combination of practice and theory, all members bouncing ideas around and off each other.this show is a presentation of some of the experiences that the artists worked through.the show is housed in an ex olive press which is a fascinating environment in its own right.the work is presented anonomously as it is a collective experience no part more important than whole, it is an accumulation of the results of thinking, it is the start of a kind of self-questioning...searching for a new language a means of presenting ideas.the show has the feeling of a " laboratory", there are many surprises to be had, some statements are part of the fabric of the building, sitting quietly waiting to be seen...or not as the case might be?some of the works are collaborations between artists.
the museum is a intruiging idea using the contained spaces in the press like a labyrinth of ideas and images.we feel like giants in the land of lilliput, a cabinet of curiosities.
it was instructive and enlightening having milita talk about the input of each artist/tutor each bringing something different to the project, which was a part of the whole.how the participants related to each other..............
