About
Salon For the 21st Century is a piece by Isabel Costa in permanent transformation. Initially developed in the Interferências residency, at Companhia Olga Roriz, in 2019, it was also presented at MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, and at the Cumplicidades Festival throughout 2020. In 2021, after an artist residency at Galeria Hosek Contemporary, in Berlin, the artist presents a new version of this work at the same gallery and at the Festival Temps d'Images, in Lisbon.
In this piece, an art salon is inhabited by human beings who spend their time refining their way of talking, of conversing. Nothing exists beyond their bodies and the slippery nature of their thoughts. The second version of this piece explores not only a physical, but also a mental slowing down. Based on works by authors such as Franco Bifo Berardi and Byung Chul-Han, the spectator will have access to texts and thoughts about the construction of a new mental space, a renewal of thought.
