A kills B, created in 2007 by Hugo Canoilas and João Ferro Martins is a sphere of creation that works as a cooperative of authors: thinkers, musicians, performers, artists, technicians, etc. These are invited to develop specific works or participate in certain moments of work. The collaboration exists in order to develop an open production in permanent movement. It will be easier to understand the heterogeneity of the projects so far carried out as an escape, an attempt of incoherence, of discursive disruption, developing an object or a succession of objects that put the spectator on a moving platform in confrontation with the work. This work of fusion aims at overcoming the aesthetic limits of each one of the actors thus creating a third entity, autonomous. A Kills B was present at exhibitions such as: More heat than light; The Basement Gallery, Town Hall, Dundalk, Ireland in 2007; 3rd Prize of Painting Ariane de Rothschild; LX Factory, Lisbon, Portugal in 2007; Nam June Paik Festival, Now Jump; Nam June Paik Art Center, Yongin-si, South Korea in 2008; Radial dimension; VPF, Rock Gallery, Transboavista Building Lisbon, Portugal in 2009; Over a stormy sky / talks while sleeping / about an obliquous sea, Appleton Square, Lisbon, Portugal in 2010; Smashing, Ve.Sch - Verein für Raum und Form in der bildenden Kunst, Vienna, Austria in 2011; A Mata B, CAM, Center for Modern Art - Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal in 2012; CCC, Collecting
