Carolina Mendonça’s Público Performance to be featured in Campinas
What is the audience’s relationship with the artworks in an art show? How does the audience behave in the exhibition venue? How does the audience relate to the other in that same venue?
In a bid to investigate the potential and particular reactions of each spectator while visiting a show, director Carolina Mendonça selected members the general art public, with or without previous experience, to participate in the performance Público (Portuguese for public or audience), to be presented on September 24 and 25 at 3:30 pm and 8 pm.
Público is one of the activation actions of the 18th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil On Tour, open from July 29 to October 5 at Sesc Campinas (São Paulo).
Carolina Mendonça straddles performance, the visual arts, theater and dance. Her works have been featured in the Sesc Arts Show (2012) and the Quadrennial of Prague (2011). In order to create the performance Público – premiered during the 18th Festival, in January this year at Sesc Pompeia (São Paulo/São Paulo) –, the director observed visitors at the show, proposing subtle ways for the performers to interfere with visitors’ paths, while respecting their rhythms, and inducing them to come to the desired conclusions.
