Spank [at Intimacy: across visceral and digital performance]

Spank follows the journeys of two women as they reveal stories from private and public sources set apart by two centuries. It investigates notions of 'faction' and what is filtered out historically within a theme of female trauma and the body. [ABSTRACT BY THE AUTHOR]

Performing Resistance/Negotiating Sovereignty: Indigenous Women's Perofrmance Art in Canada

Performing Resistance/ Negotiating Sovereignty: Indigenous Women’s Performance Art In Canada investigates the contemporary production of Indigenous performance and video art in Canada in terms of cultural continuance, survivance and resistance. Drawing on critical Indigenous methodology, which foregrounds the necessity of privileging multiple Indigenous systems of knowledge, it explores these themes through the lenses of storytelling, decolonization, activism, and agency. With specific reference to performances by Rebecca Belmore, Lori Blondeau, Cheryl L'Hirondelle, Skeena Reece and Dana Claxton, as well as others, it argues that Indigenous performance art should be understood in terms of i) its enduring relationship to activism and resistance ii) its ongoing use as a tool for interventions in colonially entrenched spaces, and iii) its longstanding role in maintaining self-determination and cultural sovereignty.

Los nuevos territorios de la gráfica: imagen, proceso y distribución

La gráfica se encuentra en un proceso de simbiosis con la cultura visual en el que la tecnología de la imagen, la descentralización de la matriz y la adaptación del formato expositivo se funden con el resto de las actividades artísticas. El análisis de las comunidades formadas alrededor de esta práctica configura un puzzle, aparentemente bien encajado, que se divide entre el formalismo y el conceptualismo y entre la idea y el proceso. Las bienales y trienales, a la vanguardia del discurso, cuestionan cualquier concepto que se haya podido asentar con solidez: ante la decadencia del proceso artesanal el mensaje se profundiza nutriéndose de la invectiva provocada por las contradicciones sociales, territoriales y medioambientales para convertirse en un reflejo de la sociedad contemporánea. Comprender la gráfica actual pasa por un ejercicio de aperturismo y un proceso de adaptación al cambio técnico e iconográfico de los sectores implicados. El grabado es ahora un territorio en el que la integración de todas las artes permite cruzar sus fronteras con fluidez.

Participatory Sonic Arts: towards a socially engaged art of sound in the everyday (The Som da Maré Project)

Participatory and socially engaged art practices have, for a couple of decades, emerged a myriad of aesthetic and methodological strategies across different media. These are artistic practices that have a primary interest in participation, affecting social dynamics, dialogue and at times political activism. Nato Thompson in “Living Form: Socially Engaged Art from 1991-2011” surveys these
practices, which range from theatre to urban planning, visual art to healthcare. Linked to notions such as relational aesthetics (Bourriaud, 1998), community art and public art, socially engaged art often focuses on the development of a sense of ownership by the part of participants. If an artist is working truly collaboratively with participants and addressing the reality of a particular community, the long-term effect of a project lies in the process of engagement as well as in the artwork itself. Projects by New York based artist Pablo Helguera, for example, use different media to engage with social inequalities through participative action while rejecting the notion of art for art sake.

“Socially engaged art functions by attaching itself to subjects and problems that normally belong to other disciplines, moving them temporarily into a space of ambiguity. It is this temporary snatching away of subjects into the realm of art-making that brings new insights to a particular problem or condition and in turn makes it visible to other disciplines.” (Helguera, 2011)

Socially engaged practices develop the notion of artwork about or by a community, to work of a community. In this chapter we address how socially engaged, participatory approaches can form a context for the sonic arts, arguably less explored than practices such as theatre and performance art. The use of sound is clearly present in a wide range of socially engaged work (e.g. Helguera’s “Aelia Media” enabling a nomadic radio station in Bologna or Maria Andueza “Immigrant Sounds – Res(on)Art (Stockholm)” exploring ways of sonically resonating a city, or Sue MacCauley’s “The Housing Project” addressing ways of representing the views of urban dwellers on public scape through sound art. It is nevertheless rare to encounter projects which take our experience of sound in the everyday as a trigger for community social engagement in a participatory context.
We address concepts and methodologies behind the project Som da Maré, a participatory sonic arts project in the favelas of Maré, Rio de Janeiro.

Expansiones del híbrido escultura/arquitectura: cartografías de un Arch–Art como respuesta al arte público crítico

El objeto principal de esta tesis doctoral es cartografiar, revisar y proponer el empleo de un género de arte público basado en las relaciones de interferencia entre escultura y arquitectura. Tales relaciones han concebido obras y modelos de fusión entre los dos campos propuestos y para ello se há sugerido el término anglosajón arch–art, según ha sido empleado también por teóricos del tema como Javier Maderuelo y Martí Peran, entre otros. A pesar de ser reconocida y estudiada la relación de ambos campos a lo largo de la historia del arte, se ha dado principal atención a los fenómenos que han enmarcado estas cuestiones en el siglo XX y principalmente se ha dibujado un panorama contemporáneo particularizando las prácticas artísticas de los últimos treinta años y teniendo en cuenta las aportaciones de innovadoras cualidades en la esfera pública de dichos acontecimientos híbridos. Se ha dedicado un estudio exclusivo sobre la aparición de obras destacadas en el contexto que han emergido episódicamente y en distintos escenarios de la creación profesional, dirigida tanto por artistas como por arquitectos, lo que consolida el concepto arch-art como obra artística de características propias, las cuales proponemos como un lenguaje que amplia y extiende el propio concepto de escultura y viceversa. Las características de la ciudad contemporánea han validado el surgimiento de obras híbridas del género arch-art en el espacio público que utilizan la metáfora de la habitabilidad por medio de la funcionalidad y una reflexión sobre sus posibilidades de actuación en el entorno desde un arte público de vertiente crítica.

Revista apart: além do conceitual

This magazine aims to be an environment for discussion and information about performance art in Brazil and abroad, taking advantage of the momentum of this art form today. The magazine apart will be the first Brazilian publication to focus on performance art out of academic environments. The collaboration of professionals and scholars lends credibility to the product becoming a benchmark in the study of contemporary art. Besides being an enhancer and exhibitor of artists and works, this magazine also wants to be a work of art itself
