25 April | Casa da Memória, Guimarães
The van full of boxes and things follows its way to Guimarães for the celebration of 8 years of the Casa da Memória on April 25th. Between other shows and activities, Qubim will mark its presence in this special day with its two memory gleaners who organize and disorganize them, in an amalgam of existences and contradictions.! More information is available here.
Things are what they are until they cease to be.
An empty van is still a van if it is full of boxes.
A box is a curious thing, it does not exist alone.
An empty van is only funny as a possibility to fill up … to the top.
From the Arabic al-qubbah and the architectural term alcove, which refers to a recess in a room, a hidden place in a wall, usually covered up.
