Hóspede | Guest
uma performance de | a performance by Susana Mendes Silva (english version bellow)
O quarto para a/o hóspede da Susana não é um quarto qualquer. É um quarto dentro da galeria Caroline Pagès. Quem vem dormir à galeria vem encontrar-se com a artista e participar numa performance que só faz sentido com a pessoa que aí vai pernoitar. Em Hóspede, dormir no quarto é um motivo para criar um encontro entre pessoas que provavelmente não se conhecem.
Após a reserva do quarto, a/o hóspede e a Susana trocam correspondência por email ou por chat para combinarem o seu encontro.
No início do encontro tiram uma polaroid: um auto-retrato de ambas(os). Depois juntas(os) irão realizar algo que só será revelado na altura. No final do seu encontro, e antes da despedida, voltam a tirar outra polaroid em conjunto.
Ao chegar ao quarto a/o hóspede encontrará uma surpresa.
Quando fizer o check-out, a/o hóspede ficará com as polaroids para si, que serão o único registo do seu encontro.

The room used by Susana’s guest is no ordinary room. It is a bedroom inside the Caroline Pagès Gallery. Whoever comes to sleep in the gallery is going to meet the artist and participate in a performance that only makes sense with this person. In Guest, sleeping in the room is the drive to create an encounter between people that probably do not know each other. After the booking of the room, the guest and Susana will exchange emails or use chat to arrange their meeting.
At the beginning of the encounter, they will take a polaroid: a self-portrait of both of them. After that they will do something that will only be revealed then. Before the encounter ends, just before saying goodbye, they will take another polaroid.
When the guest arrives in the room, he/she will find a surprise.
At check-out, the guest will receive the polaroids that are the only record of their encounter.

Artists’ projects for the gallery guest room
The Caroline Pagès Gallery in Lisbon is situated in a seven-room apartment located in an early XX century building from the Campo de Ourique neighbourhood.
Since the opening of the gallery four years ago, one of the rooms of the gallery has always been a bedroom called guest room which is, on a regular basis, temporarily occupied by visiting gallery artists, art professionals and tourists.
The “Sleep with me” project came from a will to continue using this guest room as a bedroom but at the same time turn it into an exhibition room and a place for each artist to conceive a site and time specific experience for the public that chooses to participate.
The “Sleep with me” projects will be conceived by invited artists, each at a time proposing a unique project that participants will be able to experience for one night (or several if they choose to). Each project will last for several weeks so that different participants (2 people max. at a time) can book a night (or several) in the gallery guest room during the artist’s project. The price for one night (or a special price for several nights) includes a Certificate.
The “Sleep with me” projects will run parallel to the gallery exhibitions held in the other five rooms of the gallery.

“Sleep with me” #1 _ Guest, a performance by Susana Mendes Silva _ May 2011
