Assembling a Praxis: Choreographic Thinking and Curatorial Agency - Open House: A Portrait of Collecting

“Open House: A Portrait of Collecting,” a curatorial project held at the Lamont Gallery at Phillips Exeter Academy in 2015, is part of my doctoral research on “Assembling a Praxis: Choreographic Thinking and Curatorial Agency.” The "Open House" exhibition was initially about collecting and caring for objects, a traditional function of museums. Curating with a choreographic mindset encouraged me to address other questions, including how objects and collections foster emotional connections. My initial question for the project, “How to do things with objects?” soon became “How do objects arrange spaces of relation between people and ideas?” Themes include community, memory, identity, taxonomy, preservation, accumulation, value, story, exchange, and display.
[This exposition corresponds to Section Five: Arranging Spaces of Relation(s): What Can Objects Do? in the printed dissertation.]

Desenho e observação para médicos é uma Unidade Curricular de Competências Transversais que promove o ensino do desenho, adaptado aos estudantes de medicina e medicina dentária da Universidade do Porto. Esta UC desafia os estudantes a reconhecerem a importância do desenho e da sua linguagem visual como um instrumento de apoio à aprendizagem enquadrado na sua formação académica. Considerando que o ensino da Medicina se apoia na observação do corpo humano e das imagens que o representam, a prática do desenho pode tornar-se útil não só no entendimento da Anatomia, mas também como uma ferramenta importante de comunicação entre médicos e pacientes. A possibilidade de entender e comunicar construindo as próprias imagens contribui para consolidar e complementar competências cognitivas e comunicacionais relevantes para as suas áreas de formação. O desenvolvimento desta UC está integrado no projeto de investigação DRAWinU – Drawing Across University Borders (i2ADS-FBAUP).

Drawing and observation for doctors is a course of drawing specially created for medicine and dentistry students at the University of Porto. This course challenges students to recognize the importance of drawing and its visual language as a learning tool to support their academic training. Considering that teaching within medicine context is based on the observation of the human body and the images that represent it, the practice of drawing can become useful not only in understanding anatomy but also as an important tool for communication between doctors and patients. The possibility of understanding and communicating through their images helps to consolidate and complement cognitive and communication skills relevant to their areas of training. The development of this course is part of the research project DRAWinU – Drawing Across University Borders (i2ADS-FBAUP).

The arts-based research project Six Formats (February 2015 - June 2018) analysed various formats commonly used in relation to arts-based knowledge articulation and/or communication in the present day: publication, exhibition, symposium, lecture-performance, screening, and workshop. Six Formats created situations of dialogue in, on, and between each of its formats. Six Formats facilitated co-processes of ongoing self-reflection and re-articulation aiming for reciprocal attentiveness to the respective needs of the project, its partners, and co-researchers. Six Formats was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF, PEEK, AR291-G21) and hosted by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
