What Future?

This project consists on an in-depth reflection between personal views on our own works. Maumaus School was first of all a think tank based in the artists present in that small room (and afterwards in other rooms, such as café’s, tasca’s, restaurants, etc) were everyday we joined to talk about what we found interesting, sublime or even stupid.
This would be a publication filled with pieces yet to realize, but all of them, carefully discussed by us. Drawings, photos, texts, could be included according to the discussed ideas that the artists come with. This would take, of course, some time for each of us to come up with it, but the main product would be that of a book of thoughts and not already realized pieces. Remember that these ideas can be anything, and they don’t need to be precisely a financially liable piece of art (I’m referring for example to the possibility of semi-utopist projects as for example the Chalet that Eduardo once wanted to buy in the context of the exercise X artists / X curators / X critics…).
This book could easily assume any kind of format chosen by us, and that could become also interesting in a design way for the person who’s going to do it.
For the open text, we would ask Jurgen to come up with a kind of ironic righting on the good health of the Portuguese art panorama, mentioning us as the biggest and greatest new stars of it all: the common wish of every art school director.

On this way we would be obliged to get together, discussing ideas either by sending texts to each other or joining together to talk about it. After all, a kind of relational aesthetics would be implied into this project as it has been all year when we were together also as a class. Not just acceptance from part of each of us, but reflections throu personal meetings and conversations, that lead somehow to a book of desires and wishes.
