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.
Exposição do seminário "Desperfilar as artes visuais, o objeto enlouquecedor e o movimento das coisas", organizado dentro do programa “Arquipélago” promovido pelo ID_CAI - IDENTIDADES_Coletivo de Ação/Investigação (i2ADS). O evento pretende no âmbito das artes visuais e performativas fazer uma aproximação de uma análise transdisciplinar do perfil histórico, epistemológico e categórico no qual o sujeito e a natureza são percebidos, o território é pensado e a ciência se funde.
Este evento se insere no programa do projeto de investigação “From the top of the moutains we can see invisible monuments: transnational artistic investigation on landscape environmental changes caused by infrastructure space” (i2ADS), e acontecerá nas instalações do Instituto de Investigação em Arte, Design e Sociedade, na cidade do Porto, nos dias 3 e 4 de Outubro de 2024.

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.
