Jornadas Lúcidas *6* - Oh BLUE!
We're too sad to tell you that Oporto is coming to an end. Our last and longest séance is a listening session dedicated to the supra-sensitive BLUE LIGHT.Oporto has specially prepared an audio interpretation of K4 the BLUE square, the ecstatic rhapsody from 1917, written in one blow by the genius 1 José de Almada Negreiros. Issued as a K7/cassette (two channel recording, 46' 44'', 2020), starring the voices of the British-European islanders Lotte Allan and Adrian Dannatt and an original soundtrack by Von Calhau, bearers of the square tattooed in blue.
For the first time available to English readers the BLUE square will also be published in its original pamphlet format. Inside it, K4 is announced by a graphic collaboration between Ernesto de Sousa and Carlos Gentil-Homem (silkscreen print, 53.5 × 75.5 cm, 1971), designed for the ever upcoming, open and in progress, mixed media installation Almada, Um Nome de Guerra.
Running on the Portuguese predisposition for sadness, we'll follow with Derek Jarman's final masterpiece, the IKB monochrome classic, BLUE (stereo sound, 79', 1993), so you can shed a tear for our ending without shame. For those who don't meditate or sit cross-legged, this is a much needed guide on how to become a light body towards the immaterial.
