A se-cura da linha is an artistic investigation and work, commissioned by the Bienal de Coruche 2019, in Portugal. A se-cura da linha was developed during Bienal de Coruche residency and questions our relationship with the sound and meaning of the community where I worked, the winery, and everything that is or has ever been associated with it. An installation and an artist's book, as well as scores/graphic notations and site-specific poetic experience at Adega Joaquim Eugénio.

"One of these works was “Partidura”, by the Portuguese artist Eunice Artur in collaboration with Bruno Golçalves, which took place on Thursday 27th at 8 pm. This project explores the idea of developing a musical notation for new forms of electronic sound, and it does so through a live intervention that incorporates plant elements, strings that vibrate with the sound and a lot of charcoal dust so that the sound waves move the elements and “draw” their own graphic representation. The performance shows Eunice interacting with these elements while Bruno makes amplified sounds with an electric guitar. The set is mysterious and poetic at the same time. The desire to transform sound into a pictorial expression unfolds in delicate, measured and stealthy actions to interfere as little as possible in the process. Eunice moves between graphite powder-coated sheets of paper hanging from the ceiling, looking for the proper angle to vibrate strings running diagonally across the sheets. This live creation process is based on waiting and contemplation, wrapped in music that seems like a mantra from other lands."

'versus in versus' explores the intimate relationship between mankind and nature.
It is about a journey, living matter that was recollected with the purpose of serving as a piece of art in different stages of development and protection of life. It may now rest and relax like never before.
This is a story about zero waste, respect for the natural motion of things and life, the circle, life, the wisdom within, and that all of us are nature in all its essence, even when we forget it, because... Yes, sometimes we forget it.

Action / sound installation, 1 + 16 graphic notation - Eunice Artur
Interpretation by the invited musician agendas obscuras


A dream - the voyage of a whale

This sound installation is about the voyage of a whale.
Consists of two phases: in the first phase, a graphic notation is created from the outside, from the skin of this vegetalanimal, in which agave is the matter. It is played by a musician who composes a song, a murmur.
In the second phase: the electronic component and a sensor made of copper wire are added; the interior, which runs the whole being connecting the internal nervous and venous system.
Sixteen new graphic notations appear, eight for each being. And then, the musician is invited again, and in the end, the sound interpretation is composed of 16 small songs, with 1 minute each. All songs communicate with each other, in a kind of dialog.
