Support for the publication of the book "#7untitled", by the duo Marta Cerqueira and Simão Costa — Dance of Inert Materials. The book explores dance, music and visual arts.

We are launching this crowdfunding campaign to support the publication of the book "#7untitled", the most recent creation of the "Dance of Inert Materials" collection developed by the artist duo Marta Cerqueira and Simão Costa. This innovative collection encompasses pieces, shows and installations that explore the relationship between dance, music and visual arts, transforming performative research into installation and exhibition formats.

The campaign will last one month and aims to raise funds to support the production and launch of the book "#7untitled", during which we will share the creative process and inspirations for this new work. The book launch will take place on June 6, 2024 at Stolen Books, in Lisbon, with the presence of artists and designer Marta Ramos.

Since 2016, Marta Cerqueira and Simão Costa have created six distinct pieces for the Dança dematerials Inertes collection, presented in different national and international spaces and contexts.

 

#1vento - Dança de Materiais Inertes

#2placastetónicas - Dança de Materiais Inertes

#3movediço - Dança de Materiais Inertes

#4Ar - Dança de Materiais Inertes

#5Balancé - Dança de Materiais Inertes

#6Propagação - Dança de Materiais Inertes

 

The project culminated in a celebration, in 2021, at Convento São Francisco, in Coimbra, marking the beginning of a creative break in 2022. This break allowed the "fermentation" of the seventh creation, "#7untitled", a project that represents a new challenge , with greater depth and a more extensive creation process.

The 7th work in the series opens up to a new presentation format: the book.

In partnership with the publisher Stolen Books and the designer Marta Ramos, this duo of artists (dancer-choreographer and pianist-composer) presents a new work that emerges following the visual universe of the pieces [shows and installations] from the “Dance of Inert Materials”, in the expanded field of dance and music.

How much the body and the sound can fit within the two-dimensional and silent universe of paper pages?
