Orlan

Leandro Ibarra — Wed, 10 May 2017 04:41:11 +0000

ORLAN nació en Saint-Étienne, Francia. Actualmente vive y trabaja entre París, Los Ángeles y Nueva York.
Siendo una de las artistas francesas más reconocidas a nivel internacional, es una importante figura del “Body Art” y del “arte carnal”, según lo define en su manifiesto de 1989. Crea esculturas, fotografías, performances, videos y videojuegos de realidad aumentada, utilizando técnicas científicas y médicas como la cirugía y la biogenética. Para ORLAN estos son tan solo medios, primero prevalece la idea y la materialidad la acompaña. Hace de su propio cuerpo la materia prima y el soporte visual de su trabajo se desarrolla como “debate público”.
Su compromiso con su propia libertad es parte integral de su trabajo. Defiende posturas innovadoras, subversivas, que generan interrogantes en toda su obra. ORLAN constante y radicalmente modifica y altera las convenciones y el pensamiento “ready-made”. En sus obras siempre aparece el humor que muchas veces se combina con lo paródico y hasta con lo grotesco para impactar y sacudir los códigos preestablecidos. Se opone al determinismo natural, social y político y a toda forma de dominación: la supremacía masculina, la religión, la segregación cultural, el racismo, etc.
ORLAN fue galardonada con el Premio E-reputation como la artista más observada y seguida de la web.

Didier Morelli was born in Quebec, and currently lives and works in New York.

Morelli’s analysis focuses on the relationship between performance practices and the regular flow of the city, and explores the potential of these performances to engender new spatial-subjectivities by imagining kinesthetic actions that defy the political economies of power that dictate the movement of bodies in particular urban-contexts.
He has performed at Nuit Blanche in Montreal (2013), Scotiabank Nuit Blanche in Toronto (2012), the Performance Arcade in Wellington, New Zealand (2014), at 7a*11D International Festival of Performance art of Toronto (2014) and at the Mary & Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University in Chicago (2016).

Olivier de Sagazan

indianobros — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 15:41:56 +0000

Olivier de Sagazan was born in 1959 in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. He currently resides in Saint-Nazire, France.
For more than twenty years, he has combined painting, photography, sculpture and performance, creating disturbing characters wrapped up in metal and clay, melting together into a strange apocalyptic symbiosis with a wrenching set of gestures. His paintings and sculptures are visually striking and reflect a world of chaos and suffering that triggers the most dreadful nightmares. In his series of performances, Transfiguración existencial, which started in 2011, de Sagazán spreads layers of clay and paint over his whole body, transforming and dismantling his own image to reveal a human animal trying to detach itself from the physical world.

He composed the original soundtrack for audiovisual, theater and dance productions in Argentina and in other countries such as Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and Japan. He has staged independent productions since 1991.

She does this by working on social stratification, cultural capital, class imitation and seduction, scrutinizing hierarchical structures, power relations, charity and empathy.
In parallel to her artistic career, she has developed an interest for curatorial activities, the writing of essays and literature. She is the founder and director of the MAWU-LISA project and a cofounder of the Immune Stability project, combining fashion, art and technology.

The central tenet of the great proletarian Cultural Revolution was the transformation of the consciousness of the people. Partly this was to be achieved by exemplary models: the perfect model peasant, the model worker, the model soldier, this as shown in the Model Operas

But part was done through criticism and destruction of the old. The world was divided into the good, the comparatively good, and the bad. There are grotesque images of people who are accused of either rightist views, or of having the wrong class position. These echo several of Goya’s etchings from the early 19th century. The image of victims of the Inquisition, chained in dunce’s caps, wearing sandwich-boards on which their crimes are written: an orthodoxy and authority with no place for uncertainty or criticism.

In China, even during the Cultural Revolution, some of its leaders wrote of its “probable defeat” and of “the probable imminent failure”. So the idea of failure —probable, impending or necessary— lines the walls of the studio, an element in the mix: but also inevitably the question of hope behind the failure.

Geumhyung Jeong

indianobros — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:46:26 +0000

Geumhyung Jeong was born in Seoul, Korea in 1980, where she currently lives and works. She is a choreographer and performance artist. In her work, she constantly negotiates the relation between the human body and the things surrounding it. Through intense, risky interactions with her own body, she bestows a bizarre, disconcerting life upon plain, everyday objects. Thus she explores the potential of the body, its sensuality, the power to change its surroundings, and the ability to undergo transformations through the power of desire. Her projects combine dance and puppetry, and bring attention to technical aspects of theatre.
She studied acting at Hoseo University in Asan, Korea, and dance and performance at the Korean National University of Arts, Seoul.
Her works have been presented by the New Museum, New York; Zürcher Theater Spektakel, Switzerland; Malta Festival, Poznań, Poland; Brigittines International Festival, Brussels; SPIEL ART Festival, Munich; ImpulsTanz Festival, Vienna; iDans Festival, Istanbul; Contemporary Art Museum of Ujazdowski, Warsaw; Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart; PACT Zollverein, Essen; among others

Etcétera is a multi-disciplinary collective created in Buenos Aires in 1997. It is made up of artists with a background in poetry, theater, visual arts and music.

This international organization seeks to consolidate error as a life philosophy. The co-founders of the collective, Loreto Garín Guzmán y Federico Zukerfeld, are responsible for coordinating all activities, archives and other initiatives since 2007. In 2013, they received the Arte Participativo international award in Bologna and in 2015, the Prince Claus award in Amsterdam.
