The ACARTE Digital Timeline 1984-1989<\/strong><\/p>\n

Structured as a lens through which to observe the Servic\u0327o de Animac\u0327a\u0303o, Criac\u0327a\u0303o Arti\u0301stica e Educac\u0327a\u0303o pela Arte [Animation, Artistic Creation and Education Through Art Department]\/ACARTE\u00a0in the 1980s, the digital timeline ACARTE 1984-1989<\/a>, composed exclusively for this purpose, seeks to open up future research on ACARTE and the portuguese cultural recent history. Originally crafted as a part of the research work\u00a0published in\u00a0A Curatorship of Lack: the Gulbenkian Foundation ACARTE department 1984-1989 <\/em><\/a>(Sistema Solar, 2021) aims at situating\u00a0situate this Service in its context of emergence, paying particular attention to the ways in which its action contributes to a reconfiguration of the experience of corporeality that takes place in the portuguese 1980s.<\/p>\n

What was ACARTE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1984 the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation inaugurates the ACARTE Department. Madalena Perdiga\u0303o, founder and first Director, justifies its creation by explaining that<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Madalena Perdiga\u0303o, founder and first Director, justifies its creation by explaining that “the Portuguese cultural scene was lacking a Department focused on contemporary culture and\/or on a modern approach to timeless themes, as well as a Centre for Education Through Art aimed at children. It was necessary, then, to establish the conditions for the Modern Art Centre, created by the FCG on 22 August 1979 and inaugurated on 20 July 1983, to be not just a Museum, in the narrowest sense of the term, but also a Cultural Centre”. (Perdiga\u0303o 1989)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Created in 1984 by decision of the FCG’s Board of Directors, the ACARTE safeguarded \u00abthe clear separation between [the museum\u2019s] acquisition policy and the cultural events and activities policy\u00bb (Perdiga\u0303o apud Ribeiro 2007, 370). In 2000 the ACARTE became a Department of the CAM and by the end of 2002 it was dissolved. The ACARTE directors were, chronologically: from 1984 to 1989, Maria Madalena de Azeredo Perdiga\u0303o (1923-1989), also responsible for much of the 1990 programme; from June 1990 to 1994, Jose\u0301 Sasportes; from 1995 to 1999, Yvette Centeno; from 2000 to 2002, Jorge Molder, with Ma\u0301rio Carneiro (the deputy director) as the ACARTE programmer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The \u00abEncontros ACARTE \u2013 Novo Teatro\/Danc\u0327a da Europa\u00bb\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1987 the \u00abEncontros ACARTE \u2013 Novo Teatro\/Danc\u0327a da Europa\u00bb [ACARTE Encounters \u2013 New Theatre Dance of Europe] were created: an annual festival held in September that was to become one of the Department\u2019s highlights, to the extent that until the ACARTE\u2019s extinction it was often confused and conflated with the ACARTE Encounters, as if the ACARTE was nothing but this festival, or nothing but a permanent festival. There are also a number of emblematic projects and initiatives that began within the Department and would later, with changes in the Foundation\u2019s structure, become autonomous entities, such as \u00abJazz em Agosto\u00bb [Jazz in August, still ongoing] or the Animation Cinema courses \u2013 later replaced by CITEN \u2013 Centro de Imagens e Te\u0301cnicas Narrativas [Centre for Images and Narrative Techniques, nowadays included at FBAUL].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dissertation, book and digital interface<\/strong><\/p>\n

This digital interface refers to the early years of the service, between 1984 and 1989, when Madalena de Azeredo Perdig\u00e3o, the service’s founder and first Director, was in charge. It was originally conceived as part of the doctoral research<\/a> in Communication Sciences carried out at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, which later gave rise to the book Uma Curadoria da Falta – o Servi\u00e7o ACARTE da Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Calouste Gulbenkian 1984-1989<\/em> (Sistema Solar, 2021).\u00a0The research project attempted to survey the activity of the ACARTE in and across its various contexts, while also offering access to selected documents from the ACARTE archive (organised, classified and digitised) so as to open this collection to future research in various artistic fields and disciplines.<\/p>\n

The work was carried out under the scientific supervision of Professor Paulo Filipe Monteiro, and tutored by Professor Andr\u00e9 Lepecki at the Tisch School of The Arts at New York University. It received financial support from the FCT and the ESF under the III Community Support Framework. The defendants were Professors Cl\u00e1udia Madeira, Eug\u00e9nia Vasques, Lu\u00eds Trindade, Maria Jos\u00e9 Fazenda, Raquel Henriques da Silva, Rui Torres, Paulo Filipe Monteiro and Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio Grilo (President).<\/p>\n

In 2016, this work unanimously received an Honorable Mention in Contemporary History from the M\u00e1rio Soares Foundation Prize, whose jury included Professors Maria F\u00e1tima Nunes, Paula Borges Santos and Francisco Bairr\u00e3o Ruivo.<\/p>\n
