[Nettime-ro] Truth/s, un proiect de Liliana Basarab la Galeria apARTe, Iasi |
for english version please scroll down --------------------------------------------------  TRUTH/S un proiect de Liliana Basarab  Galeria apARTe, Facultatea de Arte Vizuale si Design;Strada Sarariei nr 189 28 noiembrie - 5 decembrie 2011, deschiderea: 28 noiembrie, ora 6 pm prezentare si discutii: 29 noiembrie, ora 1 pm, Sala ID Stefanescu  Lucrarile Lilianei Basarab sunt gandite si realizate performativ, implicand deseori colaborari cu alti artisti, cu publicul, cu dansatori si coregrafi care âcomploteazaâ impreuna si ajuta la realizarea lucrarii finale, asa cum se poate vedea in ultimul ei proiect intitulat Truth/s (Adevar/Adevaruri). Ca lucrare finala a acestui proiect, ea prezinta un video de 3 minute, produsul unei rezidente de 2 luni finantata de CEC Artslink New York - Independent Grants si de Ohio Art Council si gazduita de Centrul de Arta Vizuala din Dayton, Ohio, US. Puncul de plecare a acestui proiect consta intr-o serie de performance-uri inspirate din jocul de Mima (joc in care fiecare dintre participanti trebuie sa mimeze un cuvant sau o expresie fara sa vorbeasca si publicul trebuie sa ghiceasca cat mai rapid). In acest format, participantii, 3 tinere balerine au fost invitate sa interpreteze in fata camerei conceptul de Adevar. Natura colaborativa a acestui proiect e de maxima importanta, fiecare din participanti contribuind creativ in diverse etape ale proiectului. Video-ul a aparut pe un website special creat impreuna cu toate versiunile anterioare ca parte a procesului de lucrare-in-progres. Videorile au fost postate online si publicul a fost rugat sa voteze âcel mai bine reprezentat adevarâ. Spre deosebire de celelate proiecte anterioare unde artista realiza o statuie publica a âcastigatoruluiâ, in acest caz un coreograf a fost rugat sa duca mai departe acest proiect. Coregraful a ales sa lucreze cu toate cele trei balerine in locul celei castigatoare, dar a decis sa reinterpreteze dansul castigator. Rezultatul a fost apoi reinterpretat de cÄtre Liliana basarab, care a editat filmul Åi a adÄugat o coloanÄ sonorÄ. Adevarul, in calitatea sa de concept abstact, este remodelat prin utilizarea corpului, relevand retele de constrangere implicate in procesul de âaducere a adevarului la luminaâ ca produs discursiv a unei realitati contruite social. Liliana Basarab si-a construit un crez din a se pozitiona ca outsider care chestioneaza valorile ce construiesc societatea nostra.ÂIn ultimii ani practica ei se concentreaza pe deconstruirea anumitor moravuri si valori sociale.  www.lilianabasarab.com/truths design de Costel Chirila Dansatoare: Alexandra White, Jesseca Smalt, Madalyn White Coreograf: Rodney Veal Audio: Filthy American Swine, Strawberry Thundercunt, The Score ( Dayton , Ohio , USA )  Liliana BASARAB (nascuta in 1979) este artist vizual, traieste si lucreaza in Iasi. In 2011 a participat la programul de rezidenta CEC ArtsLink gazduit de Dayton Visual Art Center in parteneriat cu Ohio Art Council.   ____________________________________ TRUTH/S Liliana Basarab  apARTe Gallery, University of Arts in Iasi , Address: Sarariei 189 November 28 â December 5 , 2011, opening: 6 pm Artist presentation: November 29, 1 pm, ID Stefanescu Room  Liliana Basarabâs works are âperformancesâ which engage often fellow artists, lay audience, school children or dancers and choreographers, who collude with her and become 'co-authors' of the final result, like in her latest project Âtitled Truths. For the final show, Liliana Basarab presents a 3 minutes long video, produced as a result of a two months residency financed by CEC Artslink New York - Independent Grants and Ohio Art Council hosted by Dayton Visual Art Centre. The collaborative nature of this project becomes paramount, as each participant intentionally contributes with his or her own texture through out the different stages of the project. The video appeared on the specially designed website, together with any previous formats it had, as part of the making of the project. The idea behind this art project is a series of performances recorded on video having as starting point the game Charades (a game of pantomime whereby the players have to âact outâ a word or a phrase without speaking while the other players try to guess as quickly as possible). The participants, three young female professional contemporary dancers, were invited to play Charades in front of the camera, embodying a single word: Truth. Members of the public were invited to vote online their favorite performance and then a winner was named. Unlike Basarabâs previous projects where a public statue of the winner would be erected, a choreographer was asked to take the project further. Unexpectedly he chose all three dancers to perform again according to his directions but still based their initial interpretations of truth. The outcome was then again reinterpreted by the artist who edited the film and added a soundtrack. There is as much emphasis on the journey as the destination, and the risks and chances inherent in Basarabâs collaborations ultimately give surprising shape to the final works, whether these are films, costumes, sculptures or post cards. Truth, an abstract concept being concretely shaped by the use of the body, reveals the network of constraints involved in the process of âtelling the truthâ as the discursive product of a socially constructed reality. Basarab has made a legacy out of positioning herself as the alienated outsider trying to peek through the values which construct our society. In the last years, her practice has been revolving around deconstructing certain social morals and values.  www.lilianabasarab.com/truths design by Costel Chirila Dancers: Alexandra White, Jesseca Smalt, Madalyn White.
