A performer begins her work. She sticks a descriptive label of the work on the wall, hits the spot card, and enters the space intended for the work. Once there, the artist must move and talk uninterruptedly for an hour until her workday ends and another artist follow up the action. In “Exposição da Pessoa” the rule is to act in the absence or excess of meaning, crushed by the need of creativity restricted to a time, a place and a condition: replaceable work/worker. Lasting eight hours, the piece deals with the commodification of human beings, and specifically of the artist, and questions the value and depreciation of their work.

The work adds continuity to the artist’s recent research on the formation of a social being as performative event, or the performance as an opportunity for establishing a social political being. Ianês’ research continues to involve not only a relationship with the participant through dialogue that seeks to break the relations of power and hierarchies between artist and viewer, placing them in the same situation, but also proposing an specific space that changes and deconstructs this relationship. The presence of the artist, even if important, is not required, and the object itself can be displayed and enabled by the public always in pairs without Ianês is present.

The text written or spoken materializes certain reflections of Rose Akras about the relationship between states of body and geometrical concepts of spatial representation. The intention is that all the elements are transformed into actions. The material used, in this case text, is part of a total composition – a visual and sensory choreography.

The performer reaches the place of performance wearing a shirt and pants, a backpack, sneakers. Then she opens the bag and pulls out several scarves and colorful necklaces. After emptying the bag, the artist takes her clothes and tie the scarves in different ways in your body, paints her whole body, creates a turban with an overlap of scarves, necklaces, one by one. Finally, she puts her shoes and the bag and as a regular visitor, walk through the exhibition.

Removing the white base traditionally used to exhibit sculptures, Fancy appears levitating, only his hair touches the ground. Fancy is a character that moves among performance, sculpture and illusionism. Her physical characteristics approach the idea of a trans woman but Fancy is not a drag queen or transvestite. The work takes place as a sculptural performance, and not as a spectacle. Art history, sexual identity, metamorphosis and bodily illusions are matters of the work: the body as a vibrating field of experiential. This project is made possible with financial support by Galeria Nara Roesler e Marton Estúdio.

2014

How to establish theoretical concepts for a practice that search to avoid rules? How to maintain practice and anarchic concepts within the scope of creation? How to get away from already established systems? How to allow a theory to preserve in itself the possibility of self-sabotage? These are some of the questions that permeated the creation process of the piece.

Multimedia installation and performance
Touche-à-Tout is a portable installation that Kraal takes with her on her travels. Traces of the journey become visible in this work. In previous projects Kraal focused mainly on ‘looking’ at the world. Touche-à-Tout stimulates all the senses using different media: you can taste flavours, smell scents, you can touch objects, hear – and make sounds. The audience automatically becomes part of the installation. All the media that Kraal uses (rarekiek, slide, film and video, Internet) are representations of different forms of reality by means of which she keeps looking for the least static forms. In most cases photography is the starting point. During VERBO 2015, the work will be revealed together with a performance by the artist herself on June 23th and July 2nd at 8pm. This project is made possible with financial support by The Gieskes-Strijbis Fund, the Van Bijlevelt Foundation, The Mondriaan Fund, The Amsterdam Fund for Arts,  forte_forte and Lejan.

Language and writing are the main tools in the work of Argentine artist Liv Schulman that employs different forms of collective consciousness, submission and sociability. In El Method Covensky project, Schulman employs the technique developed by Mr. Covensky a controversial character who in the 1990s created a motivational method for companies that employs employees’ bodies to generate a particular form of consciousness. The project reconstructs mythical sessions of Covensky in which the viewer’s body is transformed into living sculpture.

Solitary Dance is a comment on the role of women in contemporary society.

2014

The work was developed in a residence in Alto do Moura (Caruaru, PE), where the imaginary of popular cirandas portrays the feet of people sunk in their own work base, whose mode of production is serial and perverse – in contrast to its festive rhetoric such as tourist souvenir.

Simulating an experiment based on very ordinary actions, the performance gradually highlights the limits between the shape of certain objects and the shape of the body. Limits arise from the different body resistances (of the performer and of the objects) and the constant refusal of the information that each performed action presupposes.

2014

The artist performs an attitude, a separation between the public and the private. It’s a security space. It’s an aseptic display. It’s a job. It’s a vacation image. It is a declaration of passivity. It is an activity suggestion. It’s a discomfort machine. It’s an act of indifference. It’s a moment of power. It’s a mirror. It is an invitation to violence.

The performance proposes a hypnotic soundscape with repetitive, uncomfortable sounds, short pauses and long silences. The covered faces and the use of two contradictory signs (women’s shoes and men’s clothes) suggest a reflection on identity, reality and fiction in relationships. Together, the two signs create a paradox, deflated by the shock of their co-presence. Sexual identity and social norms are broken. Isolated bodies, closed, without a fixed identity.

In Despeço, Felipe Norkus and Felipe Torres appropriate images and sounds originally conceived with other meanings and for other purposes and create new narratives.

In the work, the artist builds an installation in which the viewer is the target of his criticism.

2015

In Ensaio para um corpo, a series of actions are fragmented by mirrors or potentiated by transitory sculptural constructions that coalesce in order to constitute a discourse on the construction of the body as an image: since the real body is elusive, what becomes accessible are some conscious and unconscious perceptions generated from the partial experiences that this same body makes possible.

Desenho em grafite sobre papel vegetal 90 gr
116 x 87 cm (cada) – díptico
Trabalho criado a partir de um levantamento feito em casas de família que contem com empregada doméstica contratada. Para cria-la, Ianni pede ao patrão/patroa que desenhe o trajeto feito de sua casa até o local de trabalho no mapa de São Paulo. O mesmo é pedido feito para a empregada. A casa é escolhida como o lugar a partir do qual a pesquisa é feita pois é o ponto de encontro desses dois agentes, patrão e empregado. Em um segundo momento, é pedido tanto ao patrão/patroa quanto à empregada que digam qual é o valor de seus salários. A partir dessa informação e dos desenho coletados, Ianni produz uma série de imagens nas quais constam somente o desenho do trajeto de casa até o trabalho e o valor da renda mensal. Os desenhos são organizados aos pares: lado a lado, o patrão e seu respectivo empregado.

grafite sobre papel Hahnemühle 240 gr.
The traditional landscape drawing captures a static crop of nature, and hardly the experience of having been there, to have traveled over there. To document this aspect favoring the displacement is what the project Migrações (Migration) aims using a mechanism that absorb vibrations produced by various transport methods during a trip. The graphics generated by the mechanism are testimonies resulting of ‘seismographic’ journeys that actually occurred. The mechanism has already made drawings inside vehicles such as trains, airplanes, delivery tricycles, cars and buses in cities like Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paris, London, Lima and Santiago. Drawings done on bus line 23, in London for 10days on the same time frame (between 9 and 13h)

Desenho à grafite sobre PVC expandido e base de ferro
183 x 125 x 50 cm
My relation with the landscape rests in a first attempt to build an ideal place, an imitation of the nature as a faithful portrait of the relations of perfection and balance. By doing this, I want to cover all the ways of understanding a place, not only by sensitive medias as drawings or photographs, but through rational ways of understanding places: latitude, longitude, altitude, mathematical calculations and technical/scientific references. The mysteries of the force acting in secret in the nature are rebuilt, sometimes in a brutal manner, other, in a delicate and almost imperceptible way, in an act to fully understand the matter of what we are formed. The work depicts the artist`s displacement maps during the months of April and May 2012 in the Atacama Desert [Chile].

Installation
Throughout history, the Art has always been at the service of a few, using all its potential to achieve indoctrination and discipline goals for them. Culture as entertainment has been democratized, but contemporary art remains a privilege of favored elite or social group which has access to education and the possibility of acquiring it. It is synonymous with social status with a chosen and differentiated elite. Power to the people! by the Spanish artist Julio Falagán intends to bring contemporary art and its market closer together and make it accessible, erasing the barriers between high and low culture.
