Vanessa Desclaux - Inti Guerrero

IF I CAN’T DANCE,
I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF
YOUR REVOLUTION

LECTURE

Matt Mullican on his hypnosis performances
Matt Mullican
5 May 2011, 19:30 hrs


On 27 May 2011, If I Can’t Dance presents two lectures at the conference of Performance Studies international, the largest international organisation in the field of Performance Studies. If I Can’t Dance has invited Vanessa Desclaux to speak about the work of Matt Mullican, and Inti Guerrero to speak about Flavio de Carvalho. Both speakers are conducting a case study research as part of our programme in Performance in Residence.

Performance in Residence ‘hosts’ a performance-related (body of) work for a substantial period of time, allowing the researcher to engage in an in-depth inquiry. The aim of the project is to connect archival research to practice.

Vanessa Desclaux is a curator based in Paris. She currently holds a research position at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht and at Goldsmiths College in London on the MPhil/PhD programme in Art. Taking into account Mullican’s continuous interest in performance, Desclaux will look at Mullican’s ongoing appropriation of his own work, retroactively exploring previous bodies of work as objects of research, which he considers as the essential ground for the making of new work and the invention of new languages within his overarching artistic project.

Inti Guerrero is a curator currently based in Amsterdam. In 2010 Guerrero curated the exhibition The City of the Naked Man at the Museu de Arte Moderna in Sao Paulo, introducing de Carvalho’s master plan for a new city in the tropics alongside work by contemporary artists. In his research in Performance in Residence, Inti Guerrero specifically focuses on the relations between the body, the psyche and architectural space in Flavio de Carvalho’s projects.

Flávio de Carvalho – A Lecture Performance


Inti Guerrero
19 April 2011
Frascati, Amsterdam

Bookings :+31(0)206266866, or visit theaterfrascati.nl

As part of the programme Performance in Residence, If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution has invited Inti Guerrero to investigate a case study in relation to the performative practice of the Brazilian artist and architect Flávio de Carvalho (1899-1973). On Tuesday 19 April, starting at 20.00 hrs, Guerrero will give a lecture performance on the practice of de Carvalho at Frascati Theatre, marking the start of his research period. The outcome is expected in winter 2011.

Flávio de Carvalho: Bailado do Deus Morto (Dance of the Dead God), 1933. Clube dos Artistas Modernos São Paulo

Brazilian artist and architect Flávio de Carvalho is perhaps best known for his Experiências (1931-1956), a series of performances avant-la-lettre that he carried out on the streets of São Paulo. With Experiência no. 3, de Carvalho publically launched his tropical futuristic suit, designed for the contemporary office worker. The ‘New Look’ that he personally modeled on the streets consisted of a miniskirt and short sleeved blouse that was separated from the body by a corseting structure, to improve air circulation and prevent sweat from soaking the clothes. Departing from the Experiências, Inti Guerrero will specifically focus his research on the relations between the body, the psyche and architectural space in de Carvalho’s projects. A 1929 interview between de Carvalho and Le Corbusier exposes de Carvalho’s peculiar ideas about the individual body’s experience in space and will guide Guerrero towards approaching the ‘New Look’ as a modern architectural project.

Inti Guerrero
Inti Guerrero is an Amsterdam based art critic and curator born in Bogotá, Colombia. He has published in Afterall (London), Ramona (Buenos Aires), Idea (Cluj) and ArtNexus (Bogota). Among his most recent curatorial projects are Duet for Cannibals at the Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam; Flying Down to Earth at both MARCO, Vigo, and FRAC Lorraine, Metz; and The City of the Naked Man at the Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo. He attended De Appel’s Curatorial Program and fulfilled studies on history and theory of art and architecture, and general history at both Universidad de Los Andes in Colombia and Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil. He was formerly Curator-in-Residence at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin and Capacete Entretenimentos in Rio de Janeiro.

Susana Mendes Silva



Hóspede | Guest
a performance by Susana Mendes Silva

The room used by Susana’s guest is no ordinary room. It is a bedroom inside the Caroline Pagès Gallery. Whoever comes to sleep in the gallery is going to meet the artist and participate in a performance that only makes sense with this person. In Guest, sleeping in the room is the drive to create an encounter between people that probably do not know each other.
After the booking of the room, the guest and Susana will exchange emails or use chat to arrange their meeting.
At the beginning of the encounter, they will take a polaroid: a self-portrait of both of them. After that they will do something that will only be revealed then. Before the encounter ends, just before saying goodbye, they will take another polaroid.
When the guest arrives in the room, he/she will find a surprise.
At check-out, the guest will receive the polaroids that are the only record of their encounter.
Notes:
- each performance is unique and especially conceived for the guest.
- the performance can be suspended at any time if the guest or the artist does not feel comfortable.
- the performance will not be recorded.


Guest is part of the program “Sleep with me”
Artists’ projects for the gallery guest room

The Caroline Pagès Gallery in Lisbon is situated in a seven-room apartment located in an early XX century building from the Campo de Ourique neighbourhood.
Since the opening of the gallery four years ago, one of the rooms of the gallery has always been a bedroom called guest room which is, on a regular basis, temporarily occupied by visiting gallery artists, art professionals and tourists.
The “Sleep with me” project came from a will to continue using this guest room as a bedroom but at the same time turn it into an exhibition room and a place for each artist to conceive a site and time specific experience for the public that chooses to participate.
The “Sleep with me” projects will be conceived by invited artists, each at a time proposing a unique project that participants will be able to experience for one night (or several if they choose to). Each project will last for several weeks so that different participants (2 people max. at a time) can book a night (or several) in the gallery guest room during the artist’s project. The price for one night (or a special price for several nights) includes a Certificate.
The “Sleep with me” projects will run parallel to the gallery exhibitions held in the other five rooms of the gallery.

Programme:
“Sleep with me” #1 _ Guest, a performance by Susana Mendes Silva _ May 2011
“Sleep with me” #2 _ Miguel Palma


The Price includes:

- 1 Night in the guest room of the gallery for 1 or 2 people (it has a double bed and the gallery bathroom, kitchen and balcony are for the guests’ use only)

- The performance by artist Susana Mendes Silva that also includes 2 polaroids signed and dated by the artist, a Certificate of the performance, and a surprise by the artist.

€ 225 (VAT incl.)

Dates during which it is possible to book a night:
the whole month of May from May 2.

“ENSAIO DE MÚSICA SOBRE DESENHO”

Pintura, instalação de vídeo e som

25 a 30 ABRIL - Inauguração 25 SEG 18H

CÂNDIDO DOS REIS Nº 70

"Um retrato é, por definição, descritivo. Tenha a forma de uma pintura, de um texto, de uma banda sonora... Mas não conseguirá nem deverá manter-se apenas isso.

Retratar alguém é também um acto de inscrição. Sobre a sua realidade inscreve-se, sobrepõe-se, a do artista: a sua própria realidade, a realidade das suas relações, os seus métodos, processos e reflexões. E por isso, cada retrato é afinal e também um ensaio." Andreia Poças


Estudo sobre o conteúdo, a forma e o tempo. As pessoas, são aqui representadas como objectos das suas e minhas complexidades. Emergem desta forma como acrescentos à realidade e originam, retratos, sendo estes mesmos, outros rostos, outras visões de vida. Este é um projecto sem narrativa, cujo percurso poderá talvez nunca ter um fim. Descrevo pessoas, cujas vidas, estão sempre em mutação. Portanto não é a verdade, o reflexo ou a clareza que interessam, mas sim, as suas mentiras. Poderei dizer que este é um ensaio de vida, sobre as vidas de outras vidas. Como este passa por inúmeras fases processuais, do qual a primeira é a criação e por último, a destruição. Assim sendo, digo, como quem constrói, também destrói.

Retratados:
Ana Luandina / Carla Cruz / Cláudio da Silva / Gonçalo Almeida / Gustavo Sumpta /Israel Pimenta / Jean-Pierre dos Santos / João Leão / Sofia Leitão

It's Too Late In The Day

Nošovice is located 7 km from Frýdek-Místek in the Czech Republic and has approximately 960 inhabitants. The village itself is not so picturesque: the houses are surrounded by a busy motorway, but all around lie fields, the Beskids and forests. Over the past few years the massive Hyundai automobile plant has sprung up in these beautiful fields. The indifference and incompetence of the local townspeople to resist the plant’s construction caused the town to socially disintegrate – numerous people moved away and many of those who stayed are not on speaking terms with each other. The plant standing in the middle of a field definitively divided the town into two parts; the original joining paths were transformed into dead ends. A high wall was built around the automobile plant. If you wanted to visit your neighbour’s house – a trip that used to take 10 minutes – you’d have to set aside at least half an hour. I decided that my job was to come up with a way to bring the townspeople together again and thereby find a way out of the circle.—Kateřina Šedá

Czech artist Kateřina Šedá (*1977) lives in Brno-Líšeň. She exhibited amongst others at documenta 12, 5th Berlin Biennale and Manifesta 7. In 2011 she will hold solo-shows at Millennium Gallery Sheffield and Tate Modern. It’s Too Late In The Day is her first institutional solo-show in the German-speaking countries. On the occasion of the exhibition an artist book will be published.

TOXIC LESBIAN: Basura y Tensión 03: LatinX Lover


Viernes, 8 de abril, 19 h

INTERMEDIÆ (Matadero Madrid)
Paseo de la Chopera, 14.
28045 Madrid. Entrada libre
http://www.intermediae.es/


Basura y Tensión 03: LatinX Lover, es un proyecto Toxic Lesbian (www.toxiclesbian.org)

En colaboración con las organizaciones RQTR, Migrantes Transgresorxs y Women's Link Worlwide como invitadas especiales.

Acción producida por Toxic Lesbian desde Intermediae (Matadero Madrid) de difusión ON-LINE a través del Canal Toxic TV: www.toxiclesbian.org de 19h a 21h y desde las redes Toxic Lesbian @toxiclesbian en Twitter y Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Toxic-Lesbian

La propuesta da continuidad al proyecto Basura y Tensión de Toxic Lesbian desarrollado durante el 2010 en torno a las causas de la violencia que rodean a algunos colectivos de mujeres y quiénes son señaladas como mujeres en su nacimiento, que todavía hoy, están menos representados socialmente.

Esta convocatoria, la tercera edición, describe el paisaje de la exclusión que se vuelve extremo en los casos de personas que deben salir de sus países de origen por que no se ajustan a los modelos heterosexuales y binarios socialmente admitidos. El inicio de esta edición de la serie contó con la participación de algunos demandantes de asilo por esta causa y más específicamente describió la realidad actual en África Negra. Posteriormente, construyó una edición sobre la realidad de mujeres de origen mahgrebí residentes en Europa. Es ésta la última de las sesiones propuestas para este proyecto.

Basura y Tensión 03: LatinX LoverS plantea la realidad de personas procedentes de América Latina: lesbianas, transexuales, personas transgénero, analizando casos de asilo, segregación o discriminación específica.

Sobre Toxic Lesbian:

De 2005 a 2010, Toxic Lesbian se define como un grupo anónimo y de composición variable, que genera obras visuales con perspectiva de género y orientación sexual. A partir de 2011 Toxic Lesbian se constituye con Elena Tóxica y Raúl Martín Burgos colaborando desde la perspectiva de género y de orientación sexual con instituciones, colectivos e individuos.

Toxic Lesbian no realiza obras únicas ni en soporte físico de ningún tipo. Todas las piezas son de carácter procesual y se difunden a través de la red. Desarrolla sus acciones en su Canal Toxic TV, www.toxiclesbian.org, en directo, utilizando recursos como Facebook, Twitter y You Tube.

El formato de Toxic Lesbian responde a un posicionamiento artístico y politico frente a la definición de la mujer y de las lesbianas en el contexto artístico, así como al valor económico y simbólico que éste da a las obras de arte.

Toxic Lesbian refuerza la idea de derechos morales frente a los derechos económicos en sus derechos de autor, y sobre ellos invita a que sus piezas de proceso sean difundidas bajo licencia CC 3.0 que exponen su modelo de respeto a su ©.

Toxic Lesbian no valora el trabajo artístico realizado de forma desinteresada como su opción sino el recibirla desde perspectivas valorables en relación con el mercado técnico en el que se circunscribe cada pieza. Rechaza por tanto el circuito especulativo que añade connotaciones a las piezas que podrían traducirse en un aumento de su valor.

Para generar una posibilidad real sobre esta propuesta, Toxic Lesbian, investiga 1os avances del streaming en internet o el sentido que adquieren las redes sociales, para incorporarlo al empleo de la performance o la videocreación, herramientas de lenguaje tomadas por el arte feminista tradicional y que Toxic Lesbian adopta, considerándose herederas de esta opción.

Este formato se inició en Intermediae, Matadero en 2009 con el proyecto LesGay-Legal-Letal, Premio Ayudas a la Creación y continuó con el apoyo en 2010 de Medialab-Prado con la recepción de las Ayudas a la Movilidad para el desarrollo de "Cuentos que Nunca Cuentan". Estas instituciones públicas han sido para Toxic Lesbian, soporte del discurso en torno a este formato.

Sobre a exposição
Dia 9 de abril de 1994 beijei o rapaz que veio a ser o meu primeiro namorado. Ele vivia na Rua 9 de abril.
Desde sempre aquilo estava para acontecer e assim reconhecendo, não demos luta. Afinal, tinha que ser O amor.
Uma data auspiciosa é um bom ponto de partida para qualquer coisa.
Não há coincidências.

VBKOE - The anniversary publication



______________________________________________
The anniversary publication, the Festschrift, has been elaborated for the centennial anniversary of the first association of women artists in Austria, the Vereinigung bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs (VBKÖ, Austrian Association of Women Artists), founded in Vienna in 1910. The Festschrift advocates for a discourse ‘For The Long Revolution’ of artistic women’s movement/s (in Austria and worldwide). It fulfills VBKÖ-demands for a stronger thematization of terms such as National Socialist regime, visual arts, women artists, institutions, organizations, co-complicity, memory and remembrance. In the chapter ‘What Ever We Are’, among others, it also takes up current identity debates.
