A histria dos homens a histria dos seus desentendimentos com Deus, nem ele nos entende a ns, nem ns o entendemos a ele. Jos Saramago O projeto GOD FACTOR ter lugar no Mosteiro de So Martinho de Tibes, em Braga (Portugal) e decorrer entre 10 Novembro a 22 de Dezembro do ano de 2012. Este explora a dimenso relacional entre Arte e Religio e toda a problemtica que estas podero suscitar. Partindo de um lugar iconolgico Mosteiro-, com uma enorme carga emotiva no s religiosa, mas igualmente social, cultural ou poltica; tenta expurgar a fonte que sintetiza este fervor, e insere-se na problemtica que estes assuntos trazem baila, entre pessoas e rituais, prticas e doutrinas, mantendo os possveis conflitos entre as realidades locais que se projetam a nvel global. A constante negociao entre local e global, entre estranho e familiar, tem-se tornado uma condio base da modernidade (Jean Fisher, 1992). Assim, o foco primordial deste projeto criar novas formas de questionamento e reenquadramento das questes que substanciam o Ser na sua natureza devota, de forma a erguer uma conscincia prpria relativamente s estruturas de poder da religio e do culto. No contexto estruturado das normas assumidas tradicionalmente na sociedade,

In the structured context of the norms traditionally accepted in our society, it uncovers the parallel between obedience and transgression, and the resulting conflict of the different practices that breach and subvert the religious dogma. The program is question, materializes itself in two components, an exhibition and a discursive platform. Both seek to maximize the production of knowledge by confronting, in terms of interpretations, memories and testimonials, by recreating, revisiting and reformulating the contents, whether narrative or imagery. On the other hand, there is a confrontation within the paradox of the excess, the manipulative, the power, the quest and the propaganda, of the sense of the cult, with its processes of redemption, rather ascetics when facing the imperfection and the incapacity of being faithful. This exhibition will focus on the artistic production that grasps the different problematics that, in any way, connect or approach the concept that articulates itself between art and religion, between the art and society and art and religion..

This project explores the relational dimension between Art and Religion and the several problematics that might arise from it, while maintaining itself conscious about the surrounding territory, not only to its audience with its particular social, religion and political contexts, but also to the monastery itself, which reflects the architecture and memorys heritages of the Portuguese society. This monastery end ups on carrying not only the memories of Braga's society, but also the Catholicisms evolution and power around the globe, since it was one of biggest supplier of missionaries for the Portuguese expansionisms endeavour. As a result, this project has its source in a place with an enormous load, not only religious but also social, cultural, economic and political memory. Nevertheless, this project tries to purge the source that synthesizes this traditional religious fervour, and inserts itself in the problematic that these issues bring to life, between people and rituals, practices and doctrines, maintaining the possible confrontations between the local realities that develop global repercussions. The constant negotiation between the local and the global, the foreign and the familiar, has become a basic condition of modernity (Jean Fisher, 1992).
