Enactment of \u201cDisappearing Music for Face\u201d by Mieko Shiomi (ongoing action)<\/h1>\n

April 25\u201326, 2015<\/h2>\n

Concept: Alexandra Pirici & Manuel Pelmus<\/p>\n

Alexandra Pirici\u00a0and\u00a0Manuel Pelmus\u00a0use enactment as a strategy to actualize, but also to de-scale and de-monumentalize significant artworks or even situations and events that are somehow connected to art history. They use these art historical references as starting points to produce new immaterial works that feature performers wearing everyday clothes, using only their bodies and voices. In 2013, as invited artists of the Romanian Pavilion, they selected works from the Venice Biennale\u2019s more than century-long history for An Immaterial Retrospective of the Venice Biennale, while the following year in Paris they presented Just Pompidou it. A Retrospective of Centre Pompidou. In response to tranzit.hu\u2019s invitation, the Bucharest-based artists propose a long duration enactment\/quotation of Japanese artist Mieko Shiomi\u2019s Fluxus action, Disappearing Music for Face<\/em>, as part of the OFF-Biennale Budapest.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the work of Shiomi a smile slowly fades into a neutral facial expression. In cooperation with performers, Pirici and Pelmus will create a sculpture-like machine that reflects on the declared aims of the OFF-Biennale, too. At the same time, their on-going action is a comment not only on the current situation in Hungary\u2014where nationalist isolationism increases and art initiatives are subsumed under ideological control\u2014but also in a larger, global context. As the performers struggle to keep finding a reason to smile, the very long \u201cdisappearing music for face\u201d could enact, in a both sad and funny way, the effort we make in finding a reason to keep struggling.<\/span><\/p>\n
