Video and performance in São Carlos
Paulo Miyada and Carolina Mendonça kick off the 18th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil On Tour | Awarded Works activation actions in São Carlos, presenting to the public a short-film and a performance, respectively. The actions will feature São Carlos residents, followed by debate with the public, on June 4 and 5.
To Miyada's Mixtape: Videobrasil, the audience, as one of the devices contained in the exhibition space, is amenable to study, and therefore able to produce meaning. Driven by this idea, he decided that the visit of two people to the exhibition was to be contaminated by the surroundings, so that the half-fictional, half-documental video will take current affairs into consideration in the conversations between the characters. For the On Tour show at Sesc São Carlos, the video’s protagonists are being selected by Miyada from among non-actors residing in the city.
Aiming to investigate the possible and particular reactions of each viewer during an exhibition visit, São Carlos residents were selected to participate in the performance Público, by Carolina Mendonça, presented on June 5, from 5pm to 7:45pm, followed by a debate between the artist and the public at 8pm.
The On Tour show of the 18th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil will remain open at Sesc São Carlos until June 20, and then moves on to Sesc Campinas, from July 29 to October 05.
