02.06.2026 - Carpintarias de São Lázaro 🔹19h: Portas/Doors - Bar 🔹20h: Miguel Limão (dj set) 🔹21h30: Evicshen & Gabriel Ferrandini Tickets on Resident Advisor (link in bio) -------- • (PT) • Pela primeira vez, uma colaboração entre dois artistas experimentais que, cada um à sua maneira, desafiam qualquer noção pré-concebida do que pode ser o som — Evicshen, sediada em São Francisco, e Gabriel Ferrandini, sediado em Lisboa. ✷ Evicshen é o pseudónimo de Victoria Shen. A sua identidade pessoal; o seu corpo; é o espaço que o seu trabalho utiliza para reestruturar o significado sonoro. ✷ Gabriel Ferrandini é um músico e compositor cujo trabalho se estende muito além da sua formação como baterista de jazz e improvisador, abrangendo a composição contemporânea e a experimentação eletroacústica. ✷ Miguel Limão, aficionado sonoro sediado em Lisboa. Miguel explora cenários musicais não convencionais. Utiliza o gira-discos como base para a criação sonora, abordando mecanismos eletromecânicos em busca de desvios. Os concertos concretizam-se em paralelo com exposição em curso de João Bragança Gil, intitulada «To Whom It May Concern,» (15.05 — 19.07.2026). -------- • (EN) • A first time collaboration between two experimental artists that, in their own way, defy any pre-conceived notion of what sound is — San Francisco-based Evicshen and Lisbon-based Gabriel Ferrandini. ✷ Evicshen is the sound performance alias of Victoria Shen. Her personal identity; her body; is the space her work utilizes to restructure sonic meaning. In her live performances, she proposes an exploration between meaning and non-meaning through the physical activation of noise tropes. ✷ Gabriel Ferrandini is a musician and composer whose work extends far beyond his background as a jazz drummer and improviser, spanning contemporary composition and electroacoustic experimentation. ✷ Miguel Limão, DJ and musician, exploring non-normative music scenarios. Using the turntable as a basis for sound creation, approaching electromechanical mechanisms in search of deviations. The shows materialise alongside João Bragança Gil's ongoing exhibition “To Whom It May Concern,” (15.05 — 19.07.2026)

Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her personal identity, her body, is the space her work utilizes to restructure sonic meaning. In her live performances, she proposes an exploration between meaning and non-meaning through the physical activation of noise tropes–the body as both subject and instrument.

Evicshen) is a sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker based in San Francisco. Shen’s practice is concerned with the materiality of sound and its relationship to the human body through a lens of disruption and experimentation. She creates and manipulates custom-built sculptures and extensions specific to her body to challenge conventional methods of sound production and erode the boundaries between performer, tool, and audience. Shen will perform in dialogue with a new exhibition by Houston-based artist Mark Flood, “Buddy Can You Spare a Meme” inside Co-Lab’s Culvert Gallery. Together, Flood and Shen operate on the same adversarial frequency. Both artists weaponize humor and chaos against established systems—he through visual mockery, she through sonic assault. Where Flood asks you to laugh at the art world’s absurdities, Shen makes you feel the discomfort of sound pushed past its breaking point. Neither artist offers you comfort or easy answers. They offer you a mirror, amplified and distorted, reflecting back the ridiculous machinery of contemporary culture at volumes impossible to ignore.
