- A arquitetura religiosa do Noroeste de Portugal no século XVI em debate: tempo, forma e proporçãoPublication . Afonso, José Ferrão; Ramos, SílviaNesta comunicação procurou-se, através de uma abordagem multidisciplinar, focada em aspetos documentais, formais, e planimétricos, organizar, salientando a sua continuidade em relação à Idade Média, uma genealogia de dois momentos-chave da arquitetura religiosa da segunda metade do século XVI no Noroeste português: a “igreja-caixa” do tipo Misericórdia e igreja de nave única e capelas laterais comunicantes.

- Família e violência em João CanijoPublication . Ribas, DanielEste texto pretende discutir as representações da identidade nacional portuguesa a partir de um caso de estudo específico: o cinema de João Canijo. Esta análise cultural a partir das imagens em movimento tentará perceber a forma como o cinema se introduz no debate contemporâneo das identidades nacionais. Esta discussão – que tem sido persistente nos campos dos estudos culturais, da história, da filosofia e da sociologia – coloca-se no campo das mentalidades em que se propõe uma divisão entre representações idealizadas (com uma forte influência do legado salazarista), e uma realidade mais complexa e violenta. Iremos sugerir que o cinema de João Canijo, de forma sistemática desde o final dos anos noventa, dialoga com estas duas representações paradoxais.
- El arte público y sus especificidadesPublication . Abreu, José GuilhermeBased on the assumption that Public Art is a principle for enhancing and improving collective environment (Lorraine Cox, 1996), our communication is focused on the problem of the distinction between Public Art and Contemporary Art practices and aims. Thought as a principle for enhancing the collective environment, Public Art engages an opportunity and a stimulus for the advance and the expansion of the public sphere, by allowing citizen participation and increasing social interaction. Because it functions as device for the registration of passed memories or prospecting utopias. Because it attempts to impart a more human sense of collective life. Because it expands the present communication media in the public space beyond advertising or signage that visually pollutes it (J. Maderuelo, 2001), the implementation of public art programs designed for and within a given community, improves community life and allows that our cities become spaces of conviviality and socio- cultural interaction (M. Miles, 1997). This paper intents to point out and to critically analyze different forms and processes of intervention and citizen interaction that are strictly specific to Public Art, both in historical periods and in more recent times, which help to distinguish its conceptual models (S. Armajani, 1999) and its production processes and means (A. Remesar, 1997). First of all, we shall point out some historical forms of civic participation, such as public subscriptions. Secondly, we will refer to, and discuss, some recent public art programs in Portugal, in which different forms of collective and community interaction endorsed by specific cases will be considered, as for instance the International Museum of Contemporary Sculpture of Santo Tirso, in the field of pedagogical approach aiming to help artistic perception and aesthetical awareness, and Paredes Public Art Circuit, in the field of creating community involvement programs, implemented during its programming period.
- Attempts in enzymatic degradation of the pigmentation produced by fungi isolated from Portuguese wall paintingsPublication . Marco, A.; Moreira, P. R.; Pintado, M.; Vieira, E.Wall paintings are prone to different types of deterioration, including of biological origin. Our study focuses on the chromatic alterations of the paintings’ surfaces related to the presence and growth of microorganisms. The removal of the dark coloured stains from wall paintings is extremely difficult. Although treatment with biocides can eliminate microorganisms, these compounds are ineffective in cleaning the black pigmentation resulting of their growth. Therefore, it is necessary to understand which organisms are present, the characteristics of the compounds they generate, and in which conditions they produce it. The aim of this study was to isolate the pigment that is the source of the black stains in the studied wall paintings in order to, in a broader scope, eliminate or attenuate their visual impact. Wall paintings presenting black stains from three case studies – Igreja de Santa Eulália/Igreja de São Salvador de Arnoso (V.N. Famalicão), Igreja Paroquial de Valadares (Baião) and Igreja de Santa Cristina de Serzedelo (Guimarães) were dully studied from the conservation point of view. Fungi were isolated from selected areas that displayed dark pigmentation of the pictorial layer. Samples were collected with wet swabs and grown on solid culture medium, e.g. Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Isolates were further identified by classical and molecular biology methodologies. Three fungal isolates were selected for further studies due to their pigmentation and growth characteristics, mainly: blackening of solid culture media, dark or black hyphae growth, or a presence of black exudates produced by colourless hyphae. Enzymatic degradation of pigmentation resulting from a selected fungal isolates was attempted both in solution and on solid support and tested with fungal versatile peroxidase from Bjerkandera adusta. Changes in colour were detected by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and with a CIE L*a*b system colorimeter.
- Os caminhos de perto e de longePublication . Castro, LauraA inscrição de obras e intervenções artísticas contemporâneas em espaços públicos, em circuitos urbanos e em paisagens, problematiza a relação da arte com o lugar. Este artigo aborda, de forma sumária, a prática artística em que aquela relação se configura através do caminho, literal ou metafórico, explícito ou implícito. Esta ideia será também tratada nos modelos museológicos contemporâneos que, dispostos no território, requerem a abertura de caminhos. Finalmente, apre- senta-se uma breve nota, esta metafórica, sobre o modo como o caminho pode ser entendido na confluência disciplinar e epistemológica do nosso tempo. Nas três situações é de uma paisagem reconstruída que estamos a falar.

- 0+1=SOM: bringing computing closer to children through musicPublication . Hespanhol, Nuno; Rodrigues, Óscar; Gomes, José Alberto0 + 1 = SOM is a project developed by Digitópia Casa da Música in cooperation with Braga Media Arts. In this project we developed a series of online tools that use technology and basic mathematical and logical concepts, such as counting and understanding a loop or an if condition, to create music. These tools were later used in a series of four workshops with elementary school children as a creative activity that complements the classroom. This paper describes the process and reasoning behind the creation of the tools (explaining our choices when creating the contents), the role Web Audio played in it (particularly in the ability to schedule precise audio events), the results we have achieved so far, and the feedback we have had from students and teachers. We also discuss further applications and plans for the future.
