Rectangle Disorder. An orthogonal grid, made from dark brown artificial hair
Square Disorder (2008), part of the Leal Rios Foundation Collection (Lisbon), was renamed Rectangle Disorder for this presentation, and is the result of several years of research by Susana Mendes Silva [...] The work can be physically described as an orthogonal grid, made from dark brown artificial hair - the same colour as the artist's. From the top hang long strands of hair of about a meter and half in length, forming a kind of 'forest of lianas or fine rain', as the artist Andre Guedes described it expressively. At its first presentation, in Appleton Square, the installation was lit by natural light coming through an L-shaped window, which runs through two of the four walls of the room. The work can also be perceived as a drawing in space. As an orthogonal but organic structure, which contrasts with the severity of the architecture.
