Surface
Tension acts as a platform to question and explore forms of spatial
practice that engage locational complexity. Working as an international
collective of artists, architects, and writers, Surface Tension results
in collaborative projects and publications. Initially developed through
the editing and production of a comprehensive anthology (Surface Tension:
Problematics of Site) addressing the history and legacy of site-specific
art practice, the project is based on examining what site-specific practice
can be today, presupposing an inherent interdisciplinarity and aiming
to galvanize multiple threads of interaction and reflection on what
it means to engage the built environment.

How
to translate Surface Tension to Portuguese?
Superficie Tensão - two nouns in a roll is quite exquisite in portuguese,
specially in this case.
It would be almost like Surface/Tension (understand?)
Tensão de Superfície - Tension of Surface (literally)
Superfícies Tensionadas - in the plural it gets closer to the original
effect, but would mean Tensioned Surfaces
Tensões de Superficie - closer to the meaning, I think, but
also transforming to Tensions of Surface, and weighing more to tension
then to surface
Tensão Superficial - this brings a nice play with the concept
of physics, that also happens in english. but in this case, in portuguese,
it resounds with the word superficial |
