Fernando Costa - Dor Fantasma

Ainda me dóis como membro fantasma
Ainda te sinto como se estivesses aqui
Ainda faço incêndios das beatas
E sento, no centro, a vê-los espalhar

Ainda guardo o mundo debaixo do meu chapéu
Ainda falho o alvo quando forço o tentar
Ainda me escondo quando a chuva me bate
E ainda fico a ver o monstro tentar entrar

Ainda escrevo a cinzento meus sonhos
Com medo de os eternizar
Ainda carrego a nuvem chuvosa às costas
Ainda teimo em precipitar

Ainda construo pontes, de olhos pelo ombro
E sei que constrois as...

Paradox Of Praxis

O segundo passo de “Não te faltará a distância”, uma exposição em quatro passos na Igreja de São Cristóvão (Mouraria), traz de 17 de Março a 2 de Abril a obra e a mensagem política e poética de Francis Alÿs, artista belga radicado no México. Dois vídeos onde se questionam a vida e a arte através do registo de tarefas aparentemente inúteis.

Francis Alÿs (Antuérpia, 1959) é o artista escolhido para este segundo passo de “Não te faltará a distância”, uma exposição comissariada por Paulo Pires d...

La Chaconne.

The partita is the world. The world is the partita. The twelve-minute Chaconne is an entire book, the gospel of the violin. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In the beginning was the Partita, and the Partita was with God, and the Partita was God. I feel as if on the edge of greatness, on the edge of uncovering the power, the perfection hidden in the twelve-minute Chaconne. Surely, if I understand it, if I play it as he means me to, a new world wil...

Charles Simic - Nineteen Thirty-Eight

That was the year the Nazis marched into Vienna,
Superman made his debut in Action Comics,
Stalin was killing off his fellow revolutionaries,
The first Dairy Queen opened in Kankakee, Ill.,
As I lay in my crib peeing in my diapers.

You must have been a beautiful baby, Bing Crosby sang.
A pilot the newspapers called Wrong Way Corrigan
Took off from New York heading for California
And landed instead in Ireland, as I watched my mother
Take a breast out of her blue robe and come closer.

There was a hur...

Matthew Zapruder - April Snow

Today in El Paso all the planes are asleep on the runway. The world
is in a delay. All the political consultants drinking whiskey keep
their heads down, lifting them only to look at the beautiful scarred
waitress who wears typewriter keys as a necklace. They jingle
when she brings them drinks. Outside the giant plate glass windows
the planes are completely covered in snow, it piles up on the wings.
I feel like a mountain of cell phone chargers. Each of the various
faiths of our various fathers keeps...
