Box Sized DIE by João Onofre featuring Holocausto Canibal
Quarta – 6 Junho 2018 – 18H30
Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves
It’s with enormous pride and honour that we announce the invitation of Holocausto Canibal by Museu de Seralves to be by the second time, part of the performance “Box Sized Die” by the highly appraised artist João Onofre.
This performance will be part of the exhibition Zero em Comportamento / Zéro de Conduit, held by the Contemporary Art Museum of Serralves and it’s curated by João Ribas, Serralves Museum director, and Ricardo Nicolau, director assistant, with the curator Paula Fernandes
The performance will occur on 6th June 2018 by 6.30 pm and will take place at the main lobby of Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves – Oporto.
“Box Sized Die” is a 183cm black metal cube padded with acoustic foam. Referencing a minimalist sculpture by Tony Smith, Onofre invites Holocausto Canibal to perform inside it. The work has no fixed duration, instead the band performs until they feel that the oxygen is running out and ends their set due to fear of asphyxiation.
Holocausto Canibal joins the roster of bands which already made their part in this performance, bands such as Konkhra, Avulsed, Unfathomable Ruination, Gorod…etc.
