is strange that, in its apparent ' proximity ', we always get something so so' far 'the Portuguese (and you should know everyone who has been here ever that one of my themes is endless, sentimental fetish). This time, one of those few, we had the chance to see that prism window or artistic endeavor that is all that is the vision of the world, and only contemporary and contradictory, especially that of an artist to travel, as Juli ã or Sarmento. That is inter.personales relations, self and others, the intimacy that, yes, it is precious commodity that now seems impossible to retain or recover, like a butterfly and flies away ..-, all with the care and maintaining detail and focuses on the speech, which characterizes the long edge and exhibitions scheduled in HOUSE ON . By the way, that previous knowledge, especially by collages and mixed media so simplistic (nice his work in the collection Fundação Serralves, Porto) and not in terms of facilities, after seeing "Short distances" I keep a picture of him as an artist that has more to do with the work of Tony Ousler, Bruce Nauman , etc. those artists so obsessed with space, and spaces that create or simulate so obsessive, with its consequent irony, critical social dimension; The private and public, inside and out .. First: it's funny because Sarmento women, individuals who occupy ever-both 2D and 3D space. an almost privileged to me central us, with all the 'air' around, always wear black dresses that 'weigh', but are made with graphite. They always seem wool, only reveal to the knee, which sometimes have some crack, it seems to always leave a mark ...
These women often lack the head and an opportunity to recommend, that something does come to the case, "The Headless Woman" of Lucrecia Martel - or are blocked, and although the plot is fine, there is a threat, a restrained, perhaps anger, or suffering ... and may not be coincidence but the causality, because the far / near native Portuguese society is, not matriarchal, I have already spoken several times of the figure, almost historic, the 'single mother. " In exposure, a female figure, solitary or alone, occupies an entire room with such a close relationship to what steps with its surroundings .. items like milk and honey "By the way, please !!!!! someone enlighten me on sigificado expression "milk & honey" , I only hear or read, here and there, long time. symbolically decapitated women Sarmento remember that both these levels of study and composition of Helena Almeida, one of the faces and great references of Portuguese art beyond its 'borders', strange boundaries-which also devoted a exposure some years ago in Madrid. What a coincidence or not, always wearing a similar black dress in the study of gestures, actions that seem to always have some guilt, punishment, punishment, lack of impunity. B & N devastating, contrast, may be just a coincidence (the dress), but I think it's something to be there ... 
The icing on the exhibition is the performance "Comet" , interpetada by a couple in a cabin built former process on the top floor, a haven of peace, which was when both I put on my boots making workshops - playing with the feeling that causes the viewer to observe up close the sensuality of the dance, which caress kiss a boy and a girl, one of those situations that sometimes occur, just happen, and they do so complicit, so close to give people .. . Here the viewer is however a third, the interrupt / surplus, which could break the magic of that moment (however, the driving force and reason to it that has created this fictional situation with large doses of reality.) 'Performance verité' in walking distance, at its closest approach, the ability to amend or to hold the viewer in a situation where you feel somewhat uncomfortable, between voyeuristic and intrusive. A man and a woman extremely attractive-indeed, they rotate, "played by the halo of beauty, being beautiful figures, submitted to its own" seduction live '..: a pleasant surprise for those who enter without knowing what is on the other hand, because effectively, and friends, this is art, who does live an experience, even with humor, or b-have, but did not find an answer, a mechanism and, above all, is part of the work. http://youtu.be/QgeF7tOks4s 
can not say, nor much less that it is an original idea but a review interesting, something that, deep down, more than 30 years and did Marina Abramovic with his then inseparable Ulay, in "imponderabilia" iconic image of the performance where there .. . LINK: http://youtu.be/67wOcxAh6ok A threshold crossed disrupts people occupying the 'short distance' between a man and a woman staring at naked, with all the desire that the format / layout involved. "By the way, you will see in the video bit 'shame' of the public, awake, interactive hustler who was at that time ..- O point to the fact that art in 70 out deeply and sincerely performative (see Klein, Beuys , etc. and, of course, the whole feminist movement, as Ana Mendieta - all so in relation to body to the limits ...

And since the film is the rudder in these parts ... the whole context of 'cotidinadeidad so palpable that we would Inconvenient , this embodiment of the screen ... end with a 'high thinking': the film has been able to .. Who? It is complex to find the name, I think nobody, at least I sea/conozca- has done at all, since in conventional narrative cinema in all its vast perimeter, these licenses or 'niche' to explore is be overlooked in the way: the plot. Maybe something if they can get, pollute the 'tone' filmmakers as disparate as Julian Schnabel (Poetic), David Cronenberg (the abject) or Claire Denis (the trafronteriza) and it's true: the end of cinema is to uncover injury or cross borders, to the other, 'The other' ...
