Rosinda Casais is an artist, architect, and researcher based in Porto. Working between art, education, and ecology, her practice explores the tension between individual and collective contexts. Before dedicating herself fully to artistic research, she collaborated with several architecture studios — including Atelier Peter Zumthor, Vinagre & Côrte-Real, and FAHR 021.3 — experiences that deepened her attention to what has been left behind: materials, places, and gestures that bear traces of previous uses and presences. She is currently a PhD fellow in Art Education (FCT2022.09894.BD) at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto, where she is developing the project (TEIA)COMUM — translated as (IN)COMMON — which investigates what unfolds when different modes of making intersect. ~ rosindacasais.wordpress.com

  • The communication intent in 'matéria disponível’ (‘available matter') (2022) author(s): rosinda casais connected to: i2ADS - Research Institute in Art, Design and Society published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
    This article is based on the personal work 'matéria disponível’ (2020) by Rosinda Casais and proposes to analyse the importance of communication-driven art in its different stages. This work emerged from the objective to explore the outdoor space as a space to communicate, during the period of the first lock-down (social distancing) due to CoVID-19, from march to june 2020. Crossing this period, she and her 5 years old daughter used the debris that remained in the courtyard of the building, where both live, and started communicating through objects with the neighbours. From the intention to interact with the other, this artwork fulfils itself, broadens and questions the communicative nature of the objects and the artistic practice as well. Concepts, along with the capacity of the objects to change the atmosphere of a place and the common/individual memories, were developed during this work towards a sense of communication from/to it and is discussed here.
