Artist Talk: Alice dos Reis

Canal Projects

Join us for a talk with artist Alice dos Reis!

As a featured artist in the exhibition and discursive program <a href="https://canalprojects.org/back-to-earth-contested-histories-of-outer-space-travel" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Back to Earth: Contested Histories Outer Space Travel</a>, (Lower Level, through July 29) dos Reis will discuss her film See You Later Space Island (2022).See You Later Space Island is a loose tale of friendship and endurance. Santa Maria is also the place in which Portugal attempted to establish satellite launcher, a project that was never realized. In the middle of the Atlantic, Helena rekindles an old friendship with Ceu, an astrophysicist who recently relocated to the Azorean island of Santa Maria off the coast of Portugal to study exoplanets. Caught between the island’s geological inheritance and the vastness of the cosmos, the two friends reconcile with the various space exploration infrastructures that are stationed on the island. A work of science-fiction inspired by the various space resources currently existing in Santa Maria.Besides this, dos Reis will also address her new series of four tapestries, inspired by the speculative landscapes of Serra da Gardunha in the Portuguese Interior, which is known as a place of both paranormal sightings and religious apparitions. These myths have developed into claims that the mountain is hollow, concealing a UFO hangar inside.Alice dos Reis (Lisbon) is a visual artist.
