Anarko art lab 2013

ANARKO ART LAB March 17, 2013

This year (the 7th edition) We want to create a festival only with women. From experimental music to live performances, video installations and projections, we have been experimenting a lot with the Anarko Art Lab over the last 6 years. In previous years the book fair used to be at Judson Memorial church and the Anarko Art Lab and Festival used to be with and at The Living Theater (but unfortunately TLT was closed last week)

We will be this year at Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center, a dynamic multicultural center on Rivington & Suffolfk Streets at April 7 between 7pm until 11:30pm.

The Anarko Art Lab Collective is a collective of new media, visual artists, performers, musicians, dancers, poets, etc. For the past years Anarko art lab has been conducting experimental, interdisciplinary art happenings. The idea is we created a concept (this year the concept is otherness) and it became a Live collaborative multimedia art experience that is both immerse and participatory and we welcome everybody to come for a collective creation and experience.

7- Raquel Mavecq

From Brazil

20 minutes

performance art/sound /Dance
Performance Description: This is an instructional piece:
-With the vision covered by a burlap sac over your head, turn and make yourself dizzy.
-When you lost spatiality and sense of direction, search the Banana Tree.
-Find the Banana Tree and dress it with the burlap sac that is covering your head.
-Carry the Banana Tree somewhere else.
-The piece is finished when everyone finds the Banana Tree.
...processes of change, adaptation and longing, this is an exploration on space, place, spatiality, perception, vulnerability, resilience, search, grounding, rooting, fixing, and not, mobilizing, placing, choosing, changing, finding. This piece is about breath, breathing with your whole body, your skin, and finding something, finding a place, recognizing space, and letting it go. To do this search is to experience shapes, textures, sounds, pulse, dizziness, breath and fears. Experience and recognize the outer as you turn inward. To watch this piece happen is to witness something, witness space itself, space in vulnerability, witness an internal logic and accept it
