NOTES ON PERFORMANCE ART, THE BODY AND THE POLITICAL
(2017)
author(s): Andrea Pagnes
published in: Research Catalogue
When I use the term ‘political’ related to performance art, I intend to set forth a space of possible, civil negotiation for and among artists and audience to analyse and further debate on how to overcome and transform schemes, rules, conventions and barriers, socially and culturally.
Curatorial text published in the post event catalogue of the second edition of the Live art exhibition project Venice International Performance Art Week "Ritual Body-Political Body" (2014) conceived and curated by VestAndPage.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Exposition of the seminar "Deperfilar as artes visuais, o objeto enfrenquedor e o movimento das coisas" (Unprofiling Visual Arts, the Disturbing Object, and the Movement of Things) and publication of the same name for the series Desajustados - Coleção de Textos Falados (i2ADS). The event was organized within the “Arquipélago” program promoted by ID_CAI - IDENTIDADES_Coletivo de Ação/Pesquisa (i2ADS) in October 2024.
The results presented arise within the scope of visual and performing arts by approaching a transdisciplinary analysis of the historical, epistemological, and categorical profile in which the subject and nature are perceived, the territory is thought, and science merges.
The event and its derived publications are part of the research project program “From the top of the mountains we can see invisible monuments: transnational artistic investigation on landscape environmental changes caused by infrastructure space” (i2ADS).

Kim Sangdon (b. 1901-1986) is a historical Korean activist and political figure. This is an archive that was constructed through independent artistic research and proposes as a long-term initiative to actualize methodologies to present to the public.
Institutionally, the history of his activities are either edited or nonexistent. Numerous applications to acknowledge this research have been widely denied by the South Korean government, largely due to the opposition nature toward former dictatorships and a restriction to fund anything political.
An outreach by a community organization known as the Korean Resource Center in Los Angeles recognized the preservation of this history as their own and invited the project to be presented. To be effective an 8-channel installation was implemented for a linear timeline while each channel is an own singular research narrative in order to better understand and spend time the in-depth material.
