- Details: ±MAISMENOS± was our surprise artist for WOOL ON RESIDENCE. During one week he was inspired by the local history and present days and, as usual, the left us some surgical interventions, always with a social and/or political message. Covilhã is located in the profund interior of the country. Som eyears ago, the portuguese government build a system of roads in these areas to improve the accessibility to these regions of the interior. In 2012, the SCUTS (sem custos para os utilizadores, meaning in english, 'no costs to users) started to be payed, dramatically changing access and growth in these regions. ±MAISMENOS±, to come to the city of Covilhã, from Oporto, payed 15 euros, a length of 1 meter receipts.
- Biography: Viral, direct, incisive. ± (2005) is an intervention project that has been reflecting on the model of political, social and economic organisation that manages life in current societies. It questions, above all, the social implications and consequences resulting from it, displaying its programmatic expression reduced to an equation of simplicity and opposites: more/less, positive/negative, black/white.
