gilles Viandier (FrancE)

Gilles research is about how spaces modulate the behaviour, he is interested in the performativity of the urban space and its relationship with daily gestures.

Gilles has explored the town of Blanca, and chosen the squares for his observations.

In each of them he could find a reincidence in the behavior of the passersby.

Gilles performs this movements and others which the features of the places suggest, he likes to disrupt the regular fluxus of the urban life and to find and include in these environments elements which performativity leaves a trace. This is why he is moving from dance to installation in the urban space.

He likes to think about the furnitures and the architecture as an expansion of the body, as a prosthesis that limits or expands our capacities

Marcelo Salum (Brazil)

Marcelo is interested in art as a space for production of forms of organization, creating listening spaces and compiling “literature of everyday life”.

For his last Open Studios he create a space for open exchange and thus learn first hand social context in which he is currently working. A way to calibrate through the micronarrativs the beat of a society.

When thinking the way to display the narrative pieces he worked with the concept of nest, the place composed by fragments which conforme a safe space, this idea drives him to create a visual dispositive which generates a tension between the warmth of the stories and an element which speaks about the fragility of life.

Giuliana Grippo (ArgentinE)

Giuliana is a graphic designer, which main body of work has been developed through drawing.

Moving from drawing to sculpture and performance she chooses to work with found objects or random phenomena, apparently insignificant, but formally attractive for her.

Giuliana extracts not only the shape, but the instigated gesture in the construction process.

Paying special attention to this gestures, she learns through them, taking them as indicators of fragility, violence, rhythm, destructuration… she finds in this way of relating to the material an intimate performativity which she attributes more value than to the final object/trace.

Biography Giuliana is a graphic designer graduated by the University of Buenos Aires, where currently works as a teacher. She has participated in diverse art and design exhibitions, and from 2012 was admitted as an assistant of the argentinean artist José A. Marchi.

Her artwork focuses in exploring the notions of trace and temporality through different mediums, from drawing, to video or volumetrics.

In parallel of her artists development, she is finalizing her postgraduate studies in research and theory about project disciplines.

Lives and works in Buenos Aires.

Interstices If there is the wish, there is a way.

Interstices is an urban intervention that uses weaving technique to write in fences.

Fences are ugly artefacts from its concept, a device that shows the combination of “private property” and human mistrust. Fences are borders we got used to everywhere, so why not to use them as empty canvas, to visibilize the invisible, fill up the holes, warm up its coldness…

Using weaving technique, Azzedine contextualises an ancient female labor, placing it in the public space, visibilises a slow process that has a rare nature for this times of constant rush.

The written texts are always intimate thoughts squatting loud the streets, words that suggest some reflective thinking to the people passing by.

The question written in this fence “What stops you?” emphasizes with its physical features the idea of mental limits.

Biography Artist, curator and cultural manager. she combined her professional activity in the fields of art and design, with a special interest in the educational and social side of it.

Some of her more relevant professional experiences were as a Director of Production in the Parallel Events of the European Biennial Manifesta8, where she also curated the Institutional projects.

She funded the art-mediation collective Medusa Mediación, with special emphasis the alphabetization of the citizen in visual culture, from a gender perspective, and with radical pedagogies as methodology She was in charge of engaging communities to take active part with the ZK/U (Zentrum fur kunst und Urbanistiks) in the European program Actors of Urban Change.

Currently she is the Director of the Residency program of AADK (Aktuelle Architektur Der Kultur) at Centro Negra, (Blanca, Murcia, Spain) where she uses her skills as an artist, curator and cultural program developer.

Jorge Gonçalves (Portugal)

The world of immaterial and common hands This is an experiment on hands performativities. In how they perceive the world and how the world perceives them. From gestures to functional instructions, the hands embody themselves with performative phrases in diverse narratives that are unveiled by people and produce relationships with objects, people and abstractions. It’s a whole choreographic process which is conducted through visual and language processes that constructs and deconstructs performative events.

The process that I am looking is the mechanical and procedural zone that unveils from a collection of cinema hand gestures and also, from our common everyday life. Situations that are build-up to enhance different perceptions and awareness of how hands structures an invitation, recognition, provocation, intimidation, contemplation, etc.

The filmography of Robert Bresson is one of the main sources for this experiment due to his ritual and minimalistic perspective of how he works with hand gestures. In Bresson’s movies, hand’s movements are constantly deprived of the actor’s intentions of representing something. So, Bresson is interested in emptying the gestures from their representation to enlarge the wider spectrum of how the spectator produces meaning to what is being seen. It is from mechanical actions and thoughtless gestures that Bresson applies his methods to reveal his emotional atmospheres.

Here, we do apply the same method by giving very precise instructions that allows you to just affect or being affected by your own hands performativity which can go from the intimate to the public and that belongs to our common material and immaterial world. These gestures can be functional, expressive, tactile, a language medium or engines of sensations. Hands print on the world, an inscription on things and things on hands.
