Spaces Alive #abstract is a site-specific performative intervention presented within the frame of 0FFXN0FF, a collaborative exhibition and concert series by Memphis Art Space and Tresor Linz.
The performance is based on the interaction between media artists, dancers, sound and the gallery space. It problematizes the presupposed neutrality of the “white cube,” while critically commenting on both the modernist myth of abstraction and the “perfection” of a perpetually optimized technology. The idea of error is translated into the subjectivization of technology through moving bodies augmented with webcams, now turned effectively into interfaces. A video layer, processed in real time is integrated into an iconic painterly abstraction, covering the space of the gallery.
The project is part of the series “Spaces Alive. Bucharest Surreal”, produced by AVmotional Platform, conceived and presented in 2017 at different locations in the city of Bucharest.
