André Sousa is taking part of DAP#01 Meeting with a special open class titled Classless Master.
The DAP meetings are an annual initiative consisting of several sessions designed to encourage the sharing and cross-referencing of research experiences within doctoral projects. The second edition is open to the entire community of Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto, especially PhD students.
CLASSLESS MASTER
An open class, an opaque speech,
matters of the métier, that’s clear.
A commonplace and the aura is lost.
Hidden facts, contradictions
and the best anecdotes explained by
the teacher, the artist and the one in the way.
The spotlight on the artist, new tricks are expected.
He thinks aloud and he speaks to the puppet,
running a mile and more.
Rischiando la reputazionehe steps out of the box — escapism.
