Adriana Sá

Adriana Sá is a transdisciplinary artist, musician/composer performer. The design and construction of instrumentation is part of her creative process. She considers that music involves vision and physical space, beyond audition. Sá has been developing and performing her work in Europe, USA, Brazil and Japan since 1997. Her creative process has been nurtured through collaboration with a wealth of different artists. Her custom instrumentation emerged in the context of residencies at STEIM, Metronom Electronic Arts Studio and Experimental Intermedia Foundation NY. It was further explored through site-specific projects, presented at Aomori Contemporary Art Center in Japan, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Museu de Serralves and Teatro Maria Matos in Portugal, Caixa Forum and Arteleku in Spain, Monty in Belgium and EyeBeam in NY, among many other venues. She has also presented site-specific works in a cod drying factory (Circular Festival), a chapel (Colina Project), a water cave (Lisboa Soa Festival) and a convent (S.Francis, Coimbra), as well as in an active textile factory in the UK (Ultrasound Festival). She has performed with portable instruments at Casa da Música, Culturgest, Teatro Rivoli and Museu do Chiado (Portugal), as well as at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (UK), among many other venues. Other performances and installations have been presented at festivals such as Atlantic Waves (UK), Luzboa Biannual (Portugal), Version Beta (Switzerland) and Festival Novas Frequências (Brazil).
