A pintura que retém a palavra
Tese de doutoramento, Belas-Artes (Pintura), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas-Artes, 2013Dezassete capÃtulos correspondem a dezassete projectos de pintura que problematizam a relação da representação da escrita na composição pictórica. As aporias que mapeam esse questionamento têm, cada uma, um enfoque particular mas ramificam-se neste conjunto de projectos pictóricos, pelos reenvios. A autoria desdobra-se sob o pseudónimo artÃstico Ema M. Entre pintura e escrita, entre imagem e linguagem, entre figural e textual, entre opacidade e transparência, esta questão antiga é problematizada e actualizada em duas vertentes, prática (pictórica) e teórica (conceptual). A «pintura retém a palavra» como elemento na composição, porque a persegue ou, ao contrário, quer escapar-lhe. O texto participa na pintura pela inscrição, como pretexto e pré-texto. ImplÃcito ou explÃcito nas palavras, frases, histórias ou lições pintadas, informa e atravessa a pintura, torna-se imagem, duplamente: mental e da percepção. A metáfora, a écfrase e a ficção são apropriadas pela pintura através de termos, frases e narrativas. Atravessada pelo texto, a pintura altera-se, fica contaminada por palavras e por significados acumulados. Mas a pintura toma o texto obedecendo à sua fórmula legÃvel e afastando-se do trabalho de metamorfose até à ilegibilidade do desenho das letras. Interessa-lhe o conteúdo e significado dos textos e a sua capacidade de afectar a imagem pintada, pela presença expressa ou pressuposta, pela plasticidade da sua inscrição, a sua pertinência na composição a par do figural, pela exigência simultânea de um leitor e de um observador, num, num desafio duplo à percepção visual: a legibilidade e a visibilidade. Por outro lado, a instalação das pinturas em polÃpticos permite reelaborar opções ou variáveis do posicionamento das partes constituintes e, de cada vez, a relação entre a pintura e a escrita está em potência, passÃvel de ser reconfigurada na performatividade criativa deste instalar.Seventeen chapters correspond to seventeen paintings (some are polyptych). In each and every one the problematic of representation of a text in and through painting is in question. Each chapter as its own issue and together they built a map to this relationship (between painting and writing, seeing and reading): each as its own emphasis but they all are bounded and connected by a net of references and authors. The author unfolds beneath the artistic pseudonym Ema M. Between painting and writing, between image and language, between figural and textual, between opacity and transparency, this antique question is thought and updated by the means of practice (pictorial) and theory (conceptual). The «painting retains the word» as its own element in the composition, by pursuing it or, on the contrary, in wanting to escape from it. The text participates in the paintings by the means of its inscription, as a pretext and pre-text. Implicit or explicit in the words, sentences, stories or lessons painted through, it informs the painting, it becomes both mental and perceptive image. Through words, phrases and narratives, concepts as metaphor, ecphrasis and fiction turn into painting. Crossed by the text, the painting is changed, becomes contaminated by words and accumulated meanings. But the painted inscriptions must be readable and so the letters must obey its legible formula, excluding that labour of metamorphosis which leads to illegibility of their drawing. What matters is the content and meaning of the texts and their ability to affect the picture painted. By its presence, expressed or presupposed, by the plasticity of its registration, by its relevance in the figural composition, the texts simultaneously require a reader and a observer, a double challenge to the eye’s perception: visibility and legibility. Moreover, the polyptych installation allows redrawing options or variables of the positioning of its constituent parts, and each time the painter exercise this game, the relationship between painting and writing becomes potency and can be reconfigured in the performance of the creative installation
Non nova, sed nove
Non nova sed nove é uma expressão latina que se pode traduzir por: nada é novo mas tudo pode ser feito de nova maneira. Esta expressão serve de corolário ao processo artÃstico, na medida em que toda a obra se gera dentro de um contexto e tem sempre outras como referência. Algumas das estratégias implicadas no fazer da obra artÃstica permitem pensar sobre a importância dos regimes de passagens das imagens, dentro e fora de cada um dos campos da sua produção, até ao culminar das linguagens digitais, na contemporaneidade. Em última instância, fazer de nova maneira exige a mistura de todas as áreas artÃsticas e a criação de novas categorias como, por exemplo, o hÃbrido
The importance of the age when evaluating mercury pollution in fishes: the case of Diplodus sargus (Pisces, Sparidae) in the NW Mediterranean
The aim of this study was to analyse the concentration of mercury (Hg) in the muscle of a common littoral, omnivorous fish such as the white seabream, Diplodus sargus, and to evaluate its relationship with the age and size of the specimens. Large, older predatory fishes have typically been the main target species for risk assessment of Hg intake in humans. The white seabream is neither a big fish nor a predator, but all sizes of NW Mediterranean specimens of this species showed high levels of Hg, with clear increases in older specimens. In addition, although the Se:Hg molar ratio was high and could reduce the impact of high concentrations of Hg in smaller fishes, it could not in the older specimens of D. sargus analysed because it decreased with age. This is not a major concern for human health because the white seabream is not a widely consumed species. However, in special situations involving toddlers, children and women of childbearing age, problems might arise if the white seabream or similar species are consumed in place of those that current recommendations advise against eating. In these cases it is very important to consider the species of fish consumed in each country and carefully assess the risk of Hg intak

Waiting for an emptiness
This article is about the work developed in the last five years by the Portuguese artist Teresa Palma Rodrigues. It has as a starting point a property that she baptized Zone V (from Vague). Her work is diverse and creates a game of relations between what she knows about the observed territory and what she finds in it: each work generates other works, always in reference to each other, multiplying the images of her gaze towards the Zone V (of Vague) and showing how the its charm is a reminiscence of banality, in the foam of daysinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
