Video Performance and Live Action Art, Dic. 1 – 18, 2019
Curator Hector Canonge
ESTADOS ALTERADOS (Altered States) is a screening program of video performance and action art focused on the recent events that are transforming and affecting many nations in the Southern Hemisphere: Ecuador resisting social austerity, Chile confronting neo-liberal politics, México fighting for better education, Brazil against racist monopolies, Venezuela balancing its economic crisis, Colombia rejecting the corrupt oligarchies, and Bolivia about to enter into a civil war due to the recent elections and the controversial coup d’etat by the extreme right.
The program ESTADOS ALTERADOS developed in reaction to what is happening in South America. The present situation for artists facing the hardships of life, censorship, and freedom of expression has pushed many creatives to find alternatives to voice their concerns, opposition or in many cases support for the socio-politico-economic changes afflicting the Southern Hemisphere. The selection of works, 15 video performances and documentations of live actions art, were done through a worldwide open call launched in October 2019. Selected artists present the diverse approaches to the discipline of performance art which in most cases intersect with positions of activism and civic engagement. Having the program screening in 12 cities, different countries, has been an incredible undertaking, but the support of cultural art directors, curators and staff of many of these organizations has been amazingly encouraging. I look forward to more additions of these type of much needed and relevant work.”
