Postcard set for PPPP

After our Kickstarter project

Peter and Pedro Postpone Procrastination

we managed to get our work shown in various locations

in Germany and Portugal

here is a look at the postcard set 

that is part of our rewards.

All of them are handmade screen-prints 

made after a workshop

 by the uber talented Nuno Bettencourt

 at Maga Festival

Guimarães Noc Noc 2012

For the second time, Noc Noc

a festival dedicated to art on all fields comes to life in my hometown

Guimarães, this year's European Capital of Culture.

From photography to film, theater, dance, performance art 

all are welcome to this informal cultural intervention.

The 5, 6 and 7th of October,

you are invited to wander through the city with a special map and 

knock on the door of private houses, associations, shops, etc.

and discover a universe of 500 artists, 320 projects 

located in 70 different spaces, allowing you to discover the city 

from a very unusual perspective.

This year Japan is our guest of honor 

and you can see the work of around 25 invited artists.

This year, my photography retrospective

 is going to be shown at number 61 on the map.

 

Here are a couple of the postcards I made 

to help promote this festival that is created/coordinated 

with love instead of money .

Guimarães Noc Noc

As some of you might know,
my hometown Guimarães, in Portugal,
Is going to be the European Capital of Culture in 2012.

And what does it mean ?
It means that the city is getting millions in funding
but strangely, none of the people I talked to, from Guimarães,
seem to know what is going to happen neither have been invited to participate
as an artist, curator, art gallery ...

But rest assured, some friends decided to
take matters into their own hands
and started a movement, based on mutual cooperation
 taking back their city with their own project called Noc Noc.
By taking back, I mean they are opening the doors to their private homes, studios, galleries
for a hole day, where you can walk around the city
 and simply knock on the doors that are marked in a map.

Sort of an Art Scavenger Hunt with performances, theater,
music, sculptures, paintings, wine, friends and
Lots of Love

here is my small contribution
(that already got the administrator of the group banned from Facebook for improper content)
Pedro, I owe you one !
