Formes Limites : Pratiques de la céramique et sculptures contemporaines
« Formes Limites » est une exposition dédiée à la céramique, qui rassemble des œuvres d’art, des travaux de céramistes, des objets de design ou des éléments issus de l’industrie. Elle met en évidence le potentiel sculptural de ces matériaux. Chacune des œuvres présentées témoigne d’une approche spécifi que de la céramique, et de sa mise en forme. Enseignée aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, elle s’inscrit dans notre époque par ses qualités tant techniques qu' esthétiques. L’exposition, qui se tient dans la Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, au centre d’un décor unique de copies sculptées et peintes hérité du XIXe siècle, témoigne d'un regain d’intérêt pour une technique qui valorise les savoir-faire et la fabrication manuelle.

Formas de Saudade | Exposição de escultura em Coimbra (2)
Álbum com 80 fotografias da exposição de escultura “Formas de Saudade”, da autoria da autoria de Pedro Figueiredo.
Patente na Casa Municipal da Cultura, em Coimbra, de 11 de Outubro de 2014 até 4 de Janeiro de 2015.
Pedro Figueiredo expõe um conjunto escultórico que foi, na sua maioria, criado especificamente para o espaço que o acolhe. O tema desenvolvido em volta das “Formas de Saudade” é uma celebração do ciclo da vida e de momentos enraizados na história e tradição, onde a “tricana” se arroga como símbolo inabalável.
Cada escultura patente na Galeria Pinho Dinis tem vida própria, mas todas as peças, em conjunto, evocam, na perspetiva do autor, “o passar do tempo que não passa, o voar do vento que não voa”. A singularidade de cada obra reside essencialmente na união da harmonia e do ritmo, no equilíbrio de um corpo aparentemente desequilibrado e numa mimesis da natureza em constante transformação. A dialética entre os céus e a terra, uma espécie de transformação do humano em semi-deus, temas mitológicos, animais e a representação do humano são a voz da expressão de sentimentos e emoções, a arte em transformação nesta exposição.

Etymology
Albanians use the name Skenderaj from the name Skanderbeg, while the Serbian name was applied after the First Balkan War in an attempt to naturalize the region.
Geography
The settlement is by the Klina river, in the Klina field. It is the main settlement of the Drenica region. The Klina river belongs to the Metohija region, while the settlement morphologically and hydrologically gravitates towards the Kosovo region.

The land that forms Appomattox Manor, at the confluence of the Appomattox and James rivers, is one of the oldest extant estates in America; the property was patented in 1635 by Francis Eppes and remained in the Eppes family until 1979. The area around the plantation was first settled in 1613 and was first known as Bermuda City and later as City Point. The sprawling frame house of the Eppes family is the result of several enlargements made to the original 1763 dwelling. The surrounding outbuildings were constructed in the 19th century.
Appomattox Manor became the headquarters of General Ulysses S. Grant from June 1864 until April 1865. Grant occupied a tent, and later a cabin, while he commanded the Union Army in the final months of the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln visited General Grant in the drawing room of the house in 1864 and 1865. Appomattox Manor is now administered as a historic house museum by the City Point Unit of the Petersburg National Battlefield.
Crypt.
“It was agreed, that it would be most satisfactory to have the names inscribed on the tablets in units.” [Register 11 Jan 1928]
“A domed inner shrine, in the base of the memorial, has its walls lined with commemorative bronze tablets — a list of the fallen South Australian soldiers. When complete this list will contain about 6,000 names.” [Chronicle 12 Mar 1931]
Even before World War I ended, there were plans to commemorate the war dead of South Australia. Years of discussion followed about the form & location of a memorial. The National War Memorial on the corner of North Terrace & Kintore Avenue was not unveiled until 25 Apr 1931 by Governor Hore-Ruthven. Sculpture by G Raynor-Hoff, bronze figures cast by A W Dobbie & Co, architects Woods, Bagot Tory & Laybourne-Smith.
“the necessity for deciding upon the most fitting type of national memorial to those who have given their lives in the great war.” [Register 2 Nov 1918]
“A correspondent points out that in The Register two years ago Mr. Fred Johns, F.J.I, suggested that the National War Memorial in South Australia should take the form of a noble State building.” [Register 27 Feb 1919]
“There are indications that the Parliamentary consideration of the question of the erection of a war memorial will develop into an issue between a purely artistic memorial and a building useful as well as ornamental. . . a committee be appointed to consider designs.” [Advertiser 8 Aug 1919]
“A meeting of the National War Memorial Committee. . . It was decided that Government House Grounds should be set aside for the proposed memorial, and that the Commonwealth should be asked to return to the State the old parade ground on North terrace, to be included in the area to be used for the memorial.” [Register 23 Oct 1919]
GRAND PLANS
“The viceregal domain comprises 12 acres, and the old Parade Ground, which the Government is endeavouring to acquire from the Federal authorities, contains an additional two acres. If the latter area is transferred to the State the possibilities of the scheme will be greatly enhanced, and the grounds will then probably be terraced right down to the Torrens banks, and a bridge placed over the railway line leading to the Exhibition Building. It has also been suggested that the main approach to the memorial grounds should be from King William Road, in a line with the thoroughfare to the Adelaide Railway Station between the Government' Printing Office and the City Baths. Here a large triumphal arch may be built, or, if such a structure should mar the outlook, imposing marble steps might grace the entrance. These are some of the suggestions which will come before the committee for its consideration.” [The Mail 8 Nov 1919]
“nothing is likely to be done until after the visit of the Prince of Wales, and, in view of the difficulty in obtaining a suitable viceregal residence within easy distance of the city, where facilities would be available for accommodating Royal guests.” [Register 15 Jan 1920]
MONTEFIORE HILL? or MOUNT LOFTY?
“The Institute of Surveyors has notified the Institute of Architects that it endorses the latter body's recommendation of Montefiore Hill as the site for the national war memorial, as against the grounds of Government House. Should the former not be available a site on Government House grounds overlooking the Torrens is mentioned. A purely decorative, and not a utilitarian, memorial is preferred.” [Advertiser 28 Feb 1920]
“From 'A Soldier’s Mother'. . . Placed on Norton's Summit or Mount Lofty, where it could act as a guiding star for mariners at night (if illuminated), and in the day touched by gleams of light, with the sky or trees for a background, it would be inspiring, pointing to higher ideals, and ever reminding us in its .perfect surroundings and its lofty position of those great acts of sacrifice which it would symbolize.” [Register 6 Mar 1920]
“But time is flitting, and the question of a National Memorial is not one that should be tarried with or put off indefinitely. It is when the country's heart is warmest that the best response is made.” [The Mail 28 Aug 1920]
“the resolution carried by the old committee, viz., ‘that the memorial consist of the northern portion of Government House domain, the parade-ground, and such portions of the City Corporation's park adjacent thereto south of Victoria-drive”, was endorsed. Now that the question of the site has been disposed of the next step is to decide the form the memorial shall take.” [Advertiser 5 Oct 1921]
FOUR YEARS!
“Here we are four years after the war and nothing as yet to mark our permanent tribute of the men who served in the mighty conflict, so many of them with their lives.” [The Mail 23 Dec 1922]
“the National War Memorial Committee. . . decided that a monument or column of suitable design should be erected in a central situation, the cost not to exceed £5,000. Competitive designs for the memorial will be invited by the committee, and that no time shall be lost.” [The Journal, Adelaide 3 May 1923]
“With plans for the completion of the South Australian National War Memorial changing during the four years the committee has been striving to reach finality. . . a recommendation will be made to increase the amount from £5,000 to £25,000.” [News 8 Aug 1923]
MORE IDEAS
“The sub-committee appointed to consider the matter of site and form for a National War Memorial for this State met on Tuesday at the Chief Secretary's office, when the following suggestions in connection with the matter were brought forward:—
That the south-eastern corner of Parliament House grounds be the site for the memorial.
That information be obtained from the Institute of Architects in regard to using Montefiore Hill as the site.
That a carillion [sic] of bells be considered for inclusion in connection with the memorial.
That the memorial take the form of a Roman fountain.
That the south-western corner of Government House grounds, now occupied by the guard house, be the site.
That the memorial be erected on the summit of Mount Lofty, and take the form of a memorial tower, having the appearance of a huge cross, and replacing the present obelisk.
Before a definite determination is arrived at it has been decided to invite further suggestions from the public.” [Advertiser 24 Oct 1923]
“the sub-committee appointed to enquire into the matter of a National War Memorial site has deferred its decision pending further suggestions from the public. If I may be allowed a voice in the matter. I suggest the erection of a temple, or theatre, capable of seating two thousand persons, on the South Park Lands, between King William-road and West-terrace. . . with a portion of the land surrounding it transformed into a luxuriant garden; the garden to be open to the general public at specified times; the proposed temple or theatre to be used exclusively for education purposes on the lines of peace; — such, for instant, as lectures, cinema pictures, concerts, floral shows, for charity benefits, the annual 'thousand voice choir,’ art exhibitions in aid of soldiers' widows.” [Advertiser 27 Oct 1923]
“Since the subcommittee met on October 23 further suggestions have been received, including: — A bellfry to carry a carillon of bells, with a small hall at the base, to contain war records, and to be placed in King William street, between the Queen Victoria Statue and the Law Court, with a remodelling of the square to allow traffic to pass: or on the south-western corner of Government House Gardens, to be worked in with the proposed widening of North terrace.
A high bell tower with a peal of bells to ring out at a given hour, situated preferably on the land adjoining Parliament House.
A square stone tower, with the words, 'Tower of remembrance,' cut deeply into the stone, guarded at each corner by a bronze lion, the internal to be a chamber to contain war records. Suggested position — the south-east-corner of Parliament House grounds.
A bronze statue, of St. George and the dragon, similar to the Cavalry Memorial at Hyde Park, London. A tower and bells might be included in this memorial, the statue to occupy the foreground. The site suggested is on the south-east corner of Parliament House grounds.” [Register 6 Nov 1923]
SOUTH-WEST of GOVT HOUSE GROUNDS?
“That the south-western portion of Government House grounds be the side for the National War Memorial and that the Government be asked to appropriate £100,000 for the memorial was the decision arrived at by the committee this morning. It is probable that an acre will be set aside for the memorial and that the guard house at the entrance to Government House grounds will be removed for the purpose. . . The idea in the minds of the committee is that the memorial should include among other things, a carilion [sic] of bells, which would be rung at certain times, chiefly on Sunday and festival days.” [News 13 Nov 1923]
“The Government has refused to grant the request of the National War Memorial Committee to make available, as a site for the memorial, the south-western corner of Government House grounds.” [Observer 24 Nov 1923]
VICTORIA SQUARE?
“In view of the Government's adverse decision, the committee has now recommended that the whole of Victoria square should be made available for the purpose of a site.” [Register 28 Nov 1923]
“The suggestion o£ a highway along the foothills to serve as a national war memorial was advanced by the President of the Townplanning Association.” [Register 29 Nov 1923]
“National War Memorial. Victoria Square Site Abandoned. Governor's Domain Again Recommended.” [Register 30 Nov 1923]
COMPETITION FOR DESIGN
“conditions in connection with the proposed invitation for designs for the memorial for this State. . . The competition for designs is to be confined to Australian or British subjects resident in South Australia, and the designs will be assessed by three judges, one to be appointed by the Government, one by the South Australian Institute of Architects, and one by the committee.” [News 3 Jan 1924]
“Between 20 and 30 competitive designs for the National War Memorial have been received.” [Advertiser 1 Oct 1924]
“When asked what the Government would do in connection with the National War Memorial, now that the competitive designs had been destroyed by the disastrous fire that occurred last week in Richards Building, Currie street, where the plans had been spread out for viewing by the judges, the Premier (Hon. J. Gunn) said the matter had not been discussed by Cabinet.” [Register 19 Nov 1924]
“In view of the War Memorial being a patriotic object, the South Australian architects submitted the competitive designs without receiving any promise of payment for the work, or a prize for the successful competitor, beyond that he should be given the right to supervise the work. . . In all, 28 sets of plans were sent in, each comprising several drawings. Many of these designs were prepared out of office hours, and to re-produce them would, according to one of the competitors, mean a couple of months of night work.” [Advertiser 6 Dec 1924]
SEVEN YEARS!
“Though nearly seven years have elapsed since the signing of the Armistice the State is still without a National War Memorial worthily commemorating the heroism of its citizen soldiers in the great ordeal of civilisation.” [Chronicle 2 May 1925]
“Much interest centres round the question of the site to be chosen for the new Government House. . . a sub-committee. . . will then discuss the relative suitability of Lady Duncan's home, ‘Strathpeny’, Mitcham, and that of Mr. Frank Rymill, in the same neighborhood.” [Recorder, Port Pirie 7 May 1925]
KINTORE AVENUE
“the architects were cramped in giving expression to their ideas m the small triangular block of land only a quarter of an acre in extent opposite Parliament House. It has now been decided that the Shrine of Memory shall be erected upon an acre of land opposite the Circulating Library on the corner of North terrace and Kintore avenue. Although not such an imposing site as the previous one it is in a position that will not be disturbed should any big scheme of public works in the nature of the building of an underground railway beneath King William street ever come to fruition. . . the men who submitted the five best designs in the previous competition will be compensated just as if the competition had gone on to finality,” [Register 13 Jul 1926]
“War Memorial, New Competition Probable. Architects Hopeful.” [News 25 Aug 1926]
“South Australia is still without a National War Memorial in its capital city. The Women's Memorial on Pennington-terrace, dignified and worthy as it is, does not take the place of an official tribute from the State, nor do any 6f the memorial tablets erected in various public and private institutions throughout the city. There is not an Adelaide suburb or a country town in the State which has not erected a monument or established, some institution to .commemorate the deeds of the soldiers who went from the particular districts to the Great War.” [Chronicle 25 Dec 1926]
“On Saturday the assessor in connection with the competitive designs for a National War Memorial out of 18 designs selected that entered by Messrs. Woods, Bagot, Jory and Laybourne-Smith as the best.” [Advertiser 17 Jan 1927]
“Mr. Laybourne-Smith, a member of the firm of architects for the National War Memorial, is visiting Sydney to collaborate with Mr. G. Rayner Hoff, A.R.C.A., sculptor, who is preparing models for the statuary of the design.” [Advertiser 15 Aug 1927]
“It was agreed, that it would be most satisfactory to have the names inscribed on the tablets in units.” [Register 11 Jan 1928]
“The National War Memorial on Government House grounds, North-terrace, and the structure has reached a height of approximately 15 ft. The Granite foundations for the marble shrine have been completed, and work on the superstructure is being continued. Fourteen skilled men are being employed cutting and moulding the stones for this work.” [Advertiser 19 Jan 1929]
“North Terrace Elms. Architect Did Not Suggest Removal of All. Only Seven at War Memorial.” [News 6 Mar 1929]
“The names of all South Australian soldiers who died from service in the Great War, whether they served with the A.I.F. or Allied forces, are wanted by the Premier (Mr. Butler) as early as possible for inscription on the Roll of Honour, to be placed on the National Memorial on North terrace, Adelaide.” [Observer 3 Aug 1929]
“Because the bronze figures on the State War Memorial on North terrace cannot be completed in the expected time, it will not be possible to unveil the memorial on Anzac Day. . . the bronzework could be done more cheaply in England than in South Australia, but the Premier asked that the work should be done here. That had been agreed on.” [Observer 8 Feb 1930]
“The Ploughman, the first of three bronze figures representing the youth of Australia which will form part of the National War Memorial on North terrace, has been completed and will soon be placed in position. The group was modelled by Mr. G. Rayner Hoff, of Sydney. The figures for the National War Memorial arc being made at the works of Messrs. A. W. Dobbic & Co., in Adelaide.” [Observer 9 Oct 1930]
“Fittingly, on Anzac Day — April 25 — the South Australian National War Memorial on North-terrace will be unveiled to the public. Work on this £30,000 monument to the South Australian soldiers who died in the Great War has been going on since the end of 1927. For more than a year A. W. Dobbie and Company's workmen were casting in bronze the 9 ft. figures. . . The platform and superstructure are of grey granite, and the great winged figure of Duty, which overlooks the bronze group facing North-terrace, is cut in white Angaston marble. . . A domed inner shrine, in the base of the memorial, has its walls lined with commemorative bronze tablets — a list of the fallen South Australian soldiers. When complete this list will contain about 6,000 names.” [Chronicle 12 Mar 1931]
“It is seven months since the State's War Memorial at the corner of Kintore-avenue and North-terrace, was unveiled, and since then not even the weeds have been cleaned from the paths which abut its foundations.” [Advertiser 6 Nov 1931]
