Location
Gulbenkian GardenTake the A train was one of the songs performed by Sun Ra in a music ritual held at Gulbenkian’s gardens in 1985. As we walk into the density of the garden, his sounds generate a parallel geometry, a world that is precise and ambiguous at the same time, one that could bring us closer to his cosmos.
A set of installations integrating sound, sculpture, film and performance are presented together with a selection of works from the Collection of the Modern Art Centre to create an atmospheric setting through the buildings of the Gulbenkian Foundation and the Garden.
Works by Lourdes Castro and Mimosa Echard will be exhibited in the hall of the Headquarters Building; installations by Martín Llavaneras can be found in room 1 and in the garden; works by artist Sunny Pfalzer will be presented in room 2; and a video-installation by Denise Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman will be presented in Auditorium 2.
