[Performances: essays on the spectator]
Performances: ensaios sobre o espectador investigates the process of contemporary artistic creation based on some specific projects by Brazilian artists Lygia Pape, Eleonora Fabião and the Opavivará! collective, as well as South African artist Lhola Amira. In these processes, one comes across actions that invite the viewer to take part in the construction of the creative act through different ways of being in contact with these works, whether as a constitutive element, as an aesthetic composition to the project’s exhibition, or as living in the materiality of the process.
The artists’ own doing outlines this study of performances and establishes dialogues with the historical, social, political, cultural, communicational and artistic contexts and their most varied languages. The artists’ procedures are brought to light through the traces captured by various sources, in an effort by the artists themselves to record the creative act, bearing in mind the shifting characteristics of performances.
In this book, the elements of interaction in the creative processes are emphasized by the body-space relationship, observing the extension of the gallery to the street and the bodies of the entangled subjects, using the street as a place of encounter and friction. It also tries to take a closer look at the spectator in terms of the modes of relationship, subjectivation and collectivity in artistic actions that suggest that the reception experiences the work in different ways.
