For anthropologists and artists “doing fieldwork” in contemporary worlds, art can be much more than an object of investigation. Curation and creation through visual, audio, or performing arts are at the heart of their work, extending the established anthropological interest in writing as a medium of thought and knowledge sharing. This exhibition presents works by anthropologists and artists who break disciplinary boundaries, and whose practice foregrounds experimental, and open approaches to the theme “field/works”.

remelexo no corpo todo
com telefone no ouvido
do banco próximo à igreja frente à pastelaria
dobra para próximo da árvore,
volta atravessar a praça
salto do sapato batendo arrastado,
bico fino
perna esticada
puxa
perna dobrada
ópera da boca do Paulo:
amigos para sempre
sempre vale a pena
andar arrastado.
