narrative projects is delighted to present a solo exhibition by Carlos Noronha Feio.
Time speeds up or slows down. Beneath a Perspex umbrella-like structure sound is disorientating. Only prior knowledge tells me the source of this sound, national anthems obscured by an accelerated tempo. Carlos Noronha Feio's exhibition at narrative projects - discursive foundations of sunsight - builds on his ongoing preoccupation with questions of nation, nationalism and identity. Preconceptions of belonging and not belonging - whether imagined through historical, geographical, social, cultural, political or ideological discourses and fields of inquiry - are deliberately undone. I encounter objects, images and sounds displaced from the points in space and time to which they are imagined to belong. Noronha Feio stages visual, sonic and associative worlds where time and space are malleable and poro us as he journeys backwards and forwards, a kind of time-traveller, across space and time.

There will be new balls, old balls, balls on video, balls on the floor, balls against the walls, balls hanging from the ceiling. There will be balls everywhere and all over. We hope you may join us for this One Nest Stand.
One Nest Stands are one-evening-exhibitions.
Balls is only on view on May 21 between 20.00 en 00.00 h.
is the current local weather condition (after the past two breezy weeks that let you think, hot summer was finally over) and it's so exhausting that makes you feel weak, irritable, lazy and unable to find a reasonable cover image for this off-site project by 63rd-77th STEPS, opening next thursday in an abandoned bank office in Via Manzoni 84, Bari.
Afa will be part of a urban festival organized by Pop Hub Bari, aimed to reactivate abandoned spaces and areas in the city.
More than a group show, it will be a three day event, where to show off, chill out and see Carlos Noronha Feio's pseudo-luxury silk scarfs MATTER OF TRUST (Art 4 Debt 4 global citizenry), Joey Villemont's anti-stress online project RELAAX.IN, new cut vinyls by Ilja Karilampi and Daniel Keller's driftwood from Bari with "Blue Ocean Strategy (Eclectic OffShore)" audio file.

London based artist Carlos Noronha Feio has been building a collection of alternative currencies for several years and presents a selection of these in all four of our cabinets. Many pieces in the collection are not in fact legal tender, yet they function as a means of payment in their mutual acceptance by exchanging parties. There are examples of how currency, widely distributed and unavoidable in everyday life, was used as a powerful form of propaganda with depictions of political power and aspirations printed on them. This can be seen in some of the Notgelds, which translated means emergency currency. Thousands of these were produced in Germany, Austria and many other countries after the widespread destruction of World War 1.
Thought-provoking and richly visual, Nature Morte brings together, for the first time, the poignant, provocative re-imaginings of the traditional still life by over 180 international contemporary artists. This visually stunning and timely book reveals how leading artists of the 21st century are reinvigorating the still life, a genre previously synonymous with the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Old Masters. Michael Petrys careful selection celebrates works by emerging and established artists alike, from all over the globe, including John Currin, Elmgreen & Dragset, Robert Gober, Renata Hegyi, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Gary Hume, Sarah Lucas, Beatriz Milhazes, Gabriel Orozco, Elizabeth Peyton, Marc Quinn, Gerhard Richter, Sam Taylor-Wood and Ai Wei Wei. Short and compelling introductions begin each chapter and are followed by dramatic, visually led spreads that pair each work with a perceptive reading of its significance to the still-life tradition. Petrys engaging, provocative text reveals how contemporary practitioners are revisiting the major motifs of the still life and translating them for the modern world. Petry explores the timeless themes of life, death and the irrevocable passing of time in these new works for our modern world; artworks that invite us to pause and reconsider what it means to be human.
