THIRD WAY™/KOLMAS TIE™

A post-apocalyptic press conference by Riku Nuutti Koistinen [aka Rogério Nuno Costa]

TERCEIRA VIA™ [Third Way™] is the first public event to appear under the purview of the macro-project University/Yliopisto [Year One], a performative-educational project happening between Portugal and Finland. Following the group performances (Artistic) Residency and Realpolitik, this new piece is a conference-based event starred by Rogério Nuno Costa himself, and it addresses the major theme of neutrality when applied to the art’s practice and thought: “Finlandization being the art of bowing to the East without mooning the West”, the Finnish political cartoonist Kari Suomalainen would say. Following two investigation residency programs (the first in Porto/Portugal, the second in Helsinki/Finland), TERCEIRA VIA™ was featured in a collective exhibition at Solar Galeria de Arte Cinemática, co-produced by Circular Performing Arts Festival in Vila do Conde (Portugal), and later on at Palco Jurássico/Clube Ferroviário, at Galeria ZDB (commissioned by Rabbit Hole), both in Lisbon. More recently, the performance has been shown in Coimbra (Festival END, TAGV/Colectivo 84) and Porto (Mala Voadora). Throughout the year 2015, the whole set of performances will be presented in various formats in Bucharest (ZonaD Dance Labs/Gabriela Tudor Foundation), in Lisbon (DNA Lisboa), in Braga (GNRation) and in Helsinki (venue to be announced), preceding the launching of the Year One of University/Yliopisto (October 2015) with the publication of the non-art magazine “Realpolitik”. TERCEIRA VIA™ aims to establish a macro-party that is trans-universal, post-dogmatic and Finlandised, with epicentre in the Baltic and more significant quakes in the Peripheral €urope, providing aesth(ethic) asylum to future sympathisers. In order to attend the conferences, you are requested to present a PIIGS type identification element and read attentively the hygiene regulations (ISO 1+1=3) at the following link:
