+0000 Mala https://supermala.org/Futuros-da-Liberdade-2023 O festival Futuros da Liberdade 2023 é um festival multidisciplinar a decorrer nos dias 27, 28 e 29 de abril de 2023. O festival é co-produzido pela Mala (gerido pela Associação Supermala) e pela Rua das Gaivotas 6 e irá decorrer em ambos os espaços. O festival pretende explorar através de conversas, concertos, performances e exposição como abrir novos discursos que celebram tanto o 25 de Abril de 1974, como também suscitam novas questões e pensam em novos futuros livres. O festival move-se através da colaboração transdisciplinar, abordando assuntos como a liberdade de expressão, feminismos, cooperação, memória, militância e o repensar da identidade nacional. Quinta, dia 27Mala17h — 20hO programa começa com uma abertura da exposição Self-will Run Riot de Leonor Parda, atualmente patente na galeria Mala, juntamente com um concerto da Escola de Fados da Ajuda.

The exhibitions brings together her recent film What Exceeds (2020) and a series of new textile sculptures, Conforama Balling (2021) and Meltdown Birthing (2021), produced specifically for Mala’s exhibition space. What Exceeds is a short fiction film shown on a vertical screen where is observed a group of young adults operating a shift in their existential quest – a sort of strategic withdrawal that consist of acting in a simulacrum of professionalism. Recognizing the inherent demands of po wer and negotiation dynamics to defend themselves or to exercise any form of resistance, they create their community and engage in an electrical wiring practice. Flirting with the aesthetic codes of the fashion and music industry, the video and the sculptures evoke the impression of a schizophrenic state between sincerity and cynicism as the simultaneous imperatives of mainstream popular culture. The installation of the textile pieces together with the hanging lights fixtures expand the imaginary of the film into materials. Made from a digital collage of stock images and fictitious newspaper clips printed on mesh fabric, the curtain and the soft balls scattered in the space are reminiscent of a showroom or a vacant playground. The pattern combines images of body parts with others of sewers, spilling canales and garden hoses arranged in ornamental compositions. There is a tone of nostalgia to the fashion and ideological trend displayed in the objects, a suggestion of a bygone era of future-oriented interior decoration as a class achievement. Aurélie Blanchette Dubois is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland. Her artistic practice brings together different forms, including painting, video, writing, textiles and furniture guided by an interest in the dynamics regulating individual and collective human determinations, as well as those influenced by aesthetics and the institution of good taste in fashion, advertising and politics. After obtaining a Bachelor in Visual Arts from Concordia University in Montreal in 2013, she joined the Master in Visual Arts, Work.Master orientation, at HEAD - Geneva where she graduated in 2019. Her work has been awarded within the framework of various scholarships and art prizes such as the Leslie and Kaye Jowett Excellence Scholarship (Montreal), the HES Excellence Award 2019 from HEAD - Geneva or the Bourses Déliées from the FCAC (Geneva). Recently her work has been presented in exhibitions such as Lemaniana, Centre d’Art Contemporain de Genève (2021), NOEXIT, with Fraich Club, espace3353, Zabriskie Point and Duplex, Geneva (2021); L’élément contingent, LiveInYourHead, Geneva (2018) and Spirale Dynamique, Hors Lit # 3, Bern (2017). <img width="2000" height="1320" width_o="2000" height_o="1320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a953feeb9f643e7ef1e80f88bb16bb7df08df93eb60d721e5951d3e83b2c742/DSC09773.jpg" data-mid="107951352" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5a953feeb9f643e7ef1e80f88bb16bb7df08df93eb60d721e5951d3e83b2c742/DSC09773.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/71020306e3e9d695335099608644ddb1b32b0d17280687de139f9b6e67c6d71f/DSC09778.jpg" data-mid="107951354" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/71020306e3e9d695335099608644ddb1b32b0d17280687de139f9b6e67c6d71f/DSC09778.jpg" /> <img width="1335" height="2000" width_o="1335" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d1ff1b1aecd5d7b7285abc6fb50cd489d3d5b12226e672a2ddb33d26d90801e/DSC09782.jpg" data-mid="107951356" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d1ff1b1aecd5d7b7285abc6fb50cd489d3d5b12226e672a2ddb33d26d90801e/DSC09782.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5376dc677f0d5b6989fc8f98e202d3d3ad29575754d4dc760a9c3bf4804391ef/DSC09787.jpg" data-mid="107951357" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5376dc677f0d5b6989fc8f98e202d3d3ad29575754d4dc760a9c3bf4804391ef/DSC09787.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1cf552c6c1809fd2619c3b74caaf4f213fdebb5aa7e6f6704f4697990649dc5/DSC09796.jpg" data-mid="107951360" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1cf552c6c1809fd2619c3b74caaf4f213fdebb5aa7e6f6704f4697990649dc5/DSC09796.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ceaab7f4e11e92c152f7165d3ee63bcc8d0cbb45e51dbe2af61afc41cbbe680/DSC09801.jpg" data-mid="107951361" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ceaab7f4e11e92c152f7165d3ee63bcc8d0cbb45e51dbe2af61afc41cbbe680/DSC09801.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5424b07d827efcbaab2094703cba2a936c62c6e8d0f854e49ebe514f59f8641f/DSC09805.jpg" data-mid="107951363" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5424b07d827efcbaab2094703cba2a936c62c6e8d0f854e49ebe514f59f8641f/DSC09805.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9be17fe5fa3dd151615e52ec0e19b81f5a0bd32d475c8bfea7502a352297886e/DSC09811.jpg" data-mid="107951364" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9be17fe5fa3dd151615e52ec0e19b81f5a0bd32d475c8bfea7502a352297886e/DSC09811.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/51ee2ababad5c6b571ccd4dce3bd1799040760aa3c3b42a357bc9cac48803e9e/DSC09812.jpg" data-mid="107951365" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/51ee2ababad5c6b571ccd4dce3bd1799040760aa3c3b42a357bc9cac48803e9e/DSC09812.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1311" width_o="2000" height_o="1311" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0f688d62105a8de199451c8a7d73653bce8f5c168044121a8b3177cf7c408bc/DSC09837.jpg" data-mid="107951367" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c0f688d62105a8de199451c8a7d73653bce8f5c168044121a8b3177cf7c408bc/DSC09837.jpg" /> Photo: Beatriz Pereira, Courtesy of Mala and the artist.&nbsp; https://supermala.org/farra Sat, 14 Mar 2026 10:19:30 +0000 Mala https://supermala.org/farra Supermala at FARRA, ElvasSupermala, Polido15.06.2024 - 15.08.2024 For FARRA, (Festa da Arte em Rede na Região do Alentejo) Supermala presented a series of works that were recently acquired by Coleção António Cachola.&nbsp; Unclosing the hand.

Anchored in a materialist approach to sound, his vocabulary is composed of personal recordings and samples. From the processing of this raw material, Polido constructs surreal narratives for specific spaces. His work moves along the axis of the history of Portuguese music, cultural memory, and sociopolitical phenomena, in search of a threshold between the recognition and the alienation of these forms. Through concerts, sound collages, listening sessions, and installation, his work has been presented in contexts such as Batalha Centro de Cinema, Institute of Contemporary Arts, Ormside Projects, 12th Berlin Biennale at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea do Chiado, Sismógrafo, NTS Radio, Sonsbeek and Spirit Shop. Polido runs the embryonic label Projecto de Vida, through which he organizes music gatherings, and his music has been released by the labels Holuzam, Bus Editions, and Lynn. Listening session: What is political music? What value does the traditional hold? The traditional materializes through versions of an oral memory—now practically extinct, or on the verge of it—a creative repertoire of varying densities. In this listening session we bring together Portuguese music from 1969 to 2011 that carries both political intention and this traditional corpus. <img width="3600" height="2402" width_o="3600" height_o="2402" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b310d88b270c595109ee79a770b2a08c7539199770088c383d21e66b00731540/_DSC6918-1.jpg" data-mid="246021619" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b310d88b270c595109ee79a770b2a08c7539199770088c383d21e66b00731540/_DSC6918-1.jpg" /> <img width="3600" height="2403" width_o="3600" height_o="2403" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df348ad4a18e4b8d6b4a1950618975a334e2697e43c5ee8b6d943bb554137617/_DSC6833.jpg" data-mid="246021618" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df348ad4a18e4b8d6b4a1950618975a334e2697e43c5ee8b6d943bb554137617/_DSC6833.jpg" /> <img width="2403" height="3600" width_o="2403" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a557505669d30e038df5ed2954f60a42e09d74c86e95ed2c1fb0451aa39dc5f8/_DSC6848-1.jpg" data-mid="246021616" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a557505669d30e038df5ed2954f60a42e09d74c86e95ed2c1fb0451aa39dc5f8/_DSC6848-1.jpg" /> <img width="2403" height="3600" width_o="2403" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d55efd9f000d97d5a117853dfa4c55c260e68ed9ce5748b654bded9a4e89584/_DSC6888.jpg" data-mid="246021617" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d55efd9f000d97d5a117853dfa4c55c260e68ed9ce5748b654bded9a4e89584/_DSC6888.jpg" /> <img width="2403" height="3600" width_o="2403" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2161c795319eba0a67c24aa4b92081748920d7005003c93b40cb28f5f04a2ed/_DSC6838-1.jpg" data-mid="246021620" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2161c795319eba0a67c24aa4b92081748920d7005003c93b40cb28f5f04a2ed/_DSC6838-1.jpg" /> <img width="2402" height="3600" width_o="2402" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/295cde16721ae13f3612224600e4f65c15941a98a6ff3cf495ae80413d238d0c/_DSC6903.jpg" data-mid="246021621" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/295cde16721ae13f3612224600e4f65c15941a98a6ff3cf495ae80413d238d0c/_DSC6903.jpg" /> <img width="2403" height="3600" width_o="2403" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0e3b34c573e5058b29ccddbac7500e9e0273cae8bbfa153bc2ae1d4735e2df0/_DSC6853-1.jpg" data-mid="246021622" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0e3b34c573e5058b29ccddbac7500e9e0273cae8bbfa153bc2ae1d4735e2df0/_DSC6853-1.jpg" /> <img width="2403" height="3600" width_o="2403" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/871756b5707718e9e1ad701a09c7fce43ac59101270de8c6547dbf2027d30972/_DSC4368.jpg" data-mid="246021629" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/871756b5707718e9e1ad701a09c7fce43ac59101270de8c6547dbf2027d30972/_DSC4368.jpg" /> <img width="2403" height="3600" width_o="2403" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdf6e067e4a5788abb21323487a3923ec9b0523600908a96f228f808dc83a704/_DSC4280.jpg" data-mid="246021630" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fdf6e067e4a5788abb21323487a3923ec9b0523600908a96f228f808dc83a704/_DSC4280.jpg" /> <img width="3600" height="2402" width_o="3600" height_o="2402" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f253ddcda2876181172ae97e976f75feb528781a46b9b0734facfd730b7bd9c8/_DSC4429.jpg" data-mid="246021631" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f253ddcda2876181172ae97e976f75feb528781a46b9b0734facfd730b7bd9c8/_DSC4429.jpg" /> Photo: Pedro Magalhães, Courtesy of Mala, Coleção António Cachola and the artists.&nbsp; https://supermala.org/Mala-at-The-Salon-by-NADA-The-Community Sat, 14 Mar 2026 10:12:15 +0000 Mala https://supermala.org/Mala-at-The-Salon-by-NADA-The-Community Mala at The Salon by NADA &amp; The CommunityCammisa Buerhaus, Mauro Cerqueira, Elisa Pône17.10.2024 – 20.10.2024 30 bis Rue du Paradis, 75010 Paris Cammisa Buerhaus is an American actress and artist with a performance-based practice. For her solo exhibition at Mala, she created a group of works focused on the performative possibilities of photography and text. Mine! and That’s Mine Too are two photographs from an ongoing series, Performance for the Camera. In this iteration, the artist plays with her cat. Cammisa assumes the role of the director, directing Gomi as she would an actor. Buerhaus’s writings are often modular in form, breaking apart and recombining in unexpected ways. She has created three plays: Isis Virus (2016), The Maze (2018), and Optimistic Voices (2020). Each of these works explores discrete periods in Buerhaus’s life, seen through a distorted, psychedelic lens. Buerhaus is currently based in Berlin and New York City. She holds an MFA in Music/Sound from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College and a BA in Media Studies from Eugene Lang College at The New School. Recent works presented in Portugal include the play Isis Virus at Rua das Gaivotas 6, the dramatic monologue The Maze at Spirit Shop, and the publication of Camicissima Buerhaussss by Growth and Culture. Buerhaus has continued to act, including lead roles in films by Melanie Gilligan, Ken Okishi, Jordan Strafer, and Martine Syms. Mauro Cerqueira is a Portuguese artist whose most recent solo exhibition, Casas num Beco, was presented at Mala last spring in Lisbon. “In the series of painting-collages presented in the exhibition, real estate signs that fiercely populate the streets of Porto are stolen from the balconies of houses and transformed through pictorial gestures. Through appropriation and artistic intervention, these objects are removed from their usual circulation in public space and brought to the walls of the gallery, undergoing a radical semantic revaluation. On their surfaces, assemblages are created incorporating metal chains, wire strands, small shards of glass, pieces of plastic—‘treasures’ left behind in the ebb and flow of the street—along with quick sketches drawn on improvised canvases made from packaging materials and scraps of wood.” Mauro Cerqueira lives and works in Porto, where he maintains the artist-run project Uma Certa Falta de Coerência (A Certain Lack of Coherence). His work has been exhibited in numerous national and international institutions, including Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves, Museu Coleção Berardo, Caixa Cultural do Rio de Janeiro, Sala de Arte Santander, Centro Federico García Lorca, La Casa Encendida, MAC Elvas, CAV Coimbra, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Vigo, Kunsthalle Lissabon, Galeria Nuno Centeno, Galeria Graça Brandão, Casa Triângulo, Palais Carli Marseille, and Galeria Nogueras Blanchard. Elisa Pône is a French transdisciplinary artist based in Lisbon, Portugal. “I manipulate visual and sonic materials, showing a particular interest in ambivalence, excess, and double-bind effects. Attentive to contexts, I play with dissonances and try to exhale the inner dynamics of places in their interaction with the works. I especially like to work with materials of self-determination that overbound their own limits, such as fireworks, waxes, polymers, but also reflections and echoes. Their behaviors challenge the notion of authorship as much as collaborative works often do. Their potential for transformation also involves the notion of duration, which is central to my research, many of my productions being time-based.&nbsp;Insert is a series of embedded resin collages I started in 2023. I have literally gathered materials from my drawers to make what I like to call ‘slow motion / stop motion collages’. The artifact is a set of perishable and long-lasting leftovers from my studio such as black powder, medicines, Polaroids, films, glitters, plastic beads, and food wrappings. The work collides with the reading of Evelyn Reilly’s Styrofoam, a work of poetry that Nuno Marques (author and researcher at the Environmental Humanities Laboratory, KTH Stockholm) sent me as he was about to translate it into Portuguese. In the text she takes us into a discrepant descent into the material components, its chemistry, its applications, and the disasters and wonders of which it has become both the fossil and still the signal.” Exhibitions and performances include Boca Musgo with Davide Balula, Figura Avulsa, Lisbon; ANDOR!, group exhibition, Póvoa de Varzim (2024, curated by Paula Pinto, Performing the Archive); The Third Nape, solo exhibition, Openspace Nancy (2023, curated by Vincent Verlé); Arder-Havir, with Julien Perez, L’Onde Vélizy-Villacoublay (2022, curated by Léo Guy Denarcy); For the Next Wave That the Next One Erases, solo exhibition, BBB, Toulouse (2021, curated by Marie Bechetoille); Falso Sol, Falsos Olhos, solo exhibition, Quadrum, Lisbon (2020, curated by Estelle Nabeyrat); Cosmo/Política #6, group exhibition, Museu do Neo-Realismo, Vila Franca de Xira (2020, curated by Sandra Vieira Jürgens); La mesure du monde, MRAC Sérignan (2019, curated by Sandra Patron); Some of Us, Kunstwerk Carlshötte, Budelsdorf (2019, curated by Marianne Derrien); La nuit de la pleine lune, La Tôlerie, Clermont-Ferrand (2017); and Alliance Caustique, L’écho des Spectres, Centre Pompidou, Paris; 12Mail and La Friche la Belle de Mai, Marseille (2015, curated by Géraldine Gomes, Guillaume Sorge, and Léo Guy Denarcy). <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f036c375071d5c53f40c3171b9095bc7a884501ba37bb5b3ade03ae57659fca/750A7542-HDR.jpg" data-mid="246025277" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f036c375071d5c53f40c3171b9095bc7a884501ba37bb5b3ade03ae57659fca/750A7542-HDR.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f49d1349cd8733585d6d9f9e6ea2a48a373163c3b81d45dac96af9db3cda538d/750A7520-HDR.jpg" data-mid="246025279" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f49d1349cd8733585d6d9f9e6ea2a48a373163c3b81d45dac96af9db3cda538d/750A7520-HDR.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc5df1d88c11826b0dfcd5ed0691f0c731a4341dbf58429e62181714ccfee345/750A7524-HDR.jpg" data-mid="246025276" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc5df1d88c11826b0dfcd5ed0691f0c731a4341dbf58429e62181714ccfee345/750A7524-HDR.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/137d2813ad7e13a4be258d5f90ade0506f7db7f6e4e28af1fcb68f9ebc06f22d/750A7521-HDR-copia.jpg" data-mid="246025278" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/137d2813ad7e13a4be258d5f90ade0506f7db7f6e4e28af1fcb68f9ebc06f22d/750A7521-HDR-copia.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c95ac03780a471255c4a1eea745e56a718cbb44563cab425a7e0f7e56b7fb4a/750A7539-HDR.jpg" data-mid="246025284" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c95ac03780a471255c4a1eea745e56a718cbb44563cab425a7e0f7e56b7fb4a/750A7539-HDR.jpg" /> Photo: Studio Abbruzzese, Courtesy of Mala and the artist.&nbsp; https://supermala.org/Elisa-Pone Tue, 24 Jun 2025 16:10:52 +0000 Mala https://supermala.org/Elisa-Pone Elisa Pône Bands of Mercy 05.04.2025 - 29.06.2025 Mala is pleased to present Bands of Mercy, Elisa Pône's first solo exhibition at Mala. Vibrating together “In the world, everything is vibration, and by using this highly useful knowledge, we can do great good or great harm to humanity.” These words by feminist writer Maria O’Neill were published in the Portuguese magazine Revista de Espiritismo in 1927. O’Neill, a devoted spiritist and a theosophist, passed away a few years later, in 1934, while returning to Portugal from Brazil, where she had given a series of lectures on spiritism. “Her body was thrown into the sea, the preferred burial place of Hindu mystics, with whom Maria O’Neill had deep spiritual affinities as a disciple of Besant and Blavatsky.” The story of Maria O’Neill and her engagement with feminism, education, and spiritism in 1920s and 1930s Portugal is one of the threads weaving the texture of Elisa Pône’s exhibition at Mala. The installation Bands of Mercy (2025), in particular, makes reference, through its title, to the Ligas da Bondade, “an international movement of moral education,” whose principles were “the protection and love of people (regardless of sex, race, or class), animals, plants, and respect for buildings and school materials.” While the Bands of Mercy had existed since the late 19th century in the U.S., the U.K., and France, among others, in Portugal, they were established in 1917. Associated with the feminist organization Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas since 1923, as Ligas da bondade were managed by a directing committee presided over by Maria O’Neill. In Elisa Pône’s Bands of Mercy, an uncanny sculpture hangs low from the gallery’s ceiling. Its massive, oblong form vibrates intermittently, as if the piece had a life of its own. A stratified body, composed of countless layers of discarded objects and heterogeneous textures, it also emits an electronic sound evoking the clicks that sperm whales produce for echolocation and communication in the water. The complex functioning of this artificial creature, crafted through a time-consuming process of incorporation and layering, reflects the intricate web of histories and stories it holds, making them vibrate together in a material form. In this sense, the multidimensional language of this work—self-contained yet expanding in space through its sonic projections, compact yet composed of separate pieces—allows the artist to condense a plurality of possibilities and narratives that the one-dimensionality of words is inevitably doomed to reduce. Maria O’Neill thought that everything vibrates. Scientific work on energy and vibrations has nourished psychic research since the 19th century. The phenomenon of sympathetic vibration—“a vibration produced in one body by the vibrations of exactly the same period in a neighbouring body”—is particularly intriguing in this context. “The concept of ‘sympathetic vibration’ was […] informed by an understanding of the body as borderless,” observe Anthony Enns and Shelley Trower, “and it explained how energy or expression or communication could be transmitted between and beyond bodies across space and time. This phenomenon clearly illustrates the connections between science and occultism that developed through the Victorian period and into modernism […].” Sympathetic vibrations could be associated, for instance, to telepathic communication or to the psychic activity of mediums. Furthermore, the concept of brain waves, as found in the 19th-century writings of Gustav Fechner, was also linked to vibration—“thoughts are vibrations that emanate from the brain in all directions, just as sounds emanate from a string instrument.” In her 1927 article titled “Maledicência – Benevolência” [“Slander – Benevolence”], Maria O’Neill mentioned the way in which thoughts “of affect and courage” can be sent to “morally depressed” people as a way to help them. “You cannot imagine the great action of others’ thoughts on our minds, nor the strength they instil in us to accept everything with calmness and resignation.” As for vibrations, thoughts are envisioned here as invisible forces that connect us to one another and, as such, have the power to affect us deeply. In this sense, although Maria O’Neill began engaging with spiritism in 1924—by which time her work with the Bands of Mercy was already underway—one might imagine that the belief in the interconnectedness of all beings and things, materialized through vibrations, was central to both experiences Interconnectedness, as Maria O’Neill suggested, can have ambivalent and even contradictory effects—and lead one in expansive, unpredictable directions. The Bands of Mercy emerged within a historical and cultural context where children’s education was still naturalized as a female activity—an association that many feminist advocating for women’s suffrage during the First Republic did not challenge. And while the Bands of Mercy’s commandments aimed to foster kindness toward human and non-human life, they also enforced a certain discipline on children. Was docility the price to pay, perhaps, for educating children to become kind-hearted? By inviting us to vibrate with her work—to be materially and psychically affected by it and to affect it in unforeseeable ways—Elisa Pône’s exhibition also invites us to resonate with the contradictions, incongruities, and uncertainties embedded in the stories, histories, objects, materials, and wor(l)ds that her pieces weave together and radiate all around them. Sometimes, even when the actions or objects disappear, the radiance is so intense that it lingers—like the traces of a colourful explosion on the windows of an art gallery Giulia Lamoni, April 2025 Bio Elisa Pône is a French transdisciplinary artist (b.1979) based in Lisbon, Portugal.
