Old valise, opened (work in progress)

Old valise, opened (work in progress)
von Rosário Rebello de Andrade

1993 - 2008, Mixed media, Variable size

This is an autobiographical piece. It contains, among other things 7 boxes and 5 hearts of red clay. Each box contains a different secret. It is the third time the valise is being shown. The boxes can be shown whether opened or closed, although one is never able to see the entire containing. Everytime the valise is opened, a different "secret" is shown. As I'm allways working on it, the viewing possibilities are countless. At the moment and until the end of 2008, it is taking part of the show "Lá Fora" (Abroad), at Museum of the Presidência da República, in Viana do Castelo and later Lisbon, a show which puts together a sgnificant number of portuguese contemporary emerging artists (or portuguese descendents) that live and succeeded abroad.
