The second edition of Corpus. Arte in azione, curated by Adriana Rispoli
| Eugenio Viola, opens in June 2010 at Madre Museum. It is the result of the
collaboration with Napoli Teatro Festival that started last year with a view to
deepen the connection between the contemporary art practice and the most
radical theatrical experimentations.
This edition of Corpus, entirely dedicated to women artists, offers a
deepening on Latin America through the work of these artists who reconfigured
spheres and areas of the performance straddling two Millennia: Teresa
Margolles, Tania Bruguera, Regina Josè Galindo and Maria Josè Arjona, together
with the Croat Xena Zupanic, directed by the Neapolitan Sebastiano Deva, and
the Neapolitan MaraM. The exhibition aims to try out a mechanism of operating
logics, planning hypothesis, different poetics and sensibilities, activated by
the convergence of political action and aesthetic elaboration, individual
initiative and collective involvement, democracy and terror, sacred and
profane, licit and illicit, legitimate and illegitimate. Questions on identity,
taboos concerning the liberation of the body, shattered myths of a lost
femininity, public and private fields, art language and life limits, they are
all simultaneously involved in the work of these artists, who enact practices
of social resistance and political opposition, without ever falling into a mere
ideological rhetoric. They rework the heterogeneity of experience and give up
any utopia of the performance in favour of a participatory and public concept
of art.
Six Live Art actions that go beyond the concept of performance, placing
themselves at the cross of various languages: theatre, installation, cinema,
music, visual arts, dance, traditional cultures. An open-minded contamination
that nowadays legitimizes the forms of performing art, not limited by tradition
and conventions, but firmly released by the heritage of the so-called
historical Body Art.
