For the benefit of raising funds for the organization we auctioned a unique set of sketches at the event.

The following images show a public performance of performance artists, curated by Hector Canonge. Taking place throughout the Bronx River Park, and witnessing art performances from a half-dozen artists that day who went to such lengths as to how artists communicate expression. The strong messages they, themselves are subjected to, and with that nervous system to digest a medium, or media.

Valerie Green’s invitation, came after all by seated in the Joyce Theater together for a dance performance a week before hand. The variety of drawings from the Bronx River Park initiated a relationship to a new set of tools. In a field of vision our curiosity to the indifference within the arts, that is, from multi-modal perspectives, and to align with a drama to be resolved. A chance to get involved in the art world, meet the artists, and the chance to draw unexpectedly from a dance performance was really the meaning for this program, “Impromptus.”.

Su obra se centra principalmente en el arte de acción o performance, fotografía, instalación y arte relacional. Su investigación estética gira en torno de la reparación de las cosas,  la transmutación de la materia, la transformación del uso que le damos a los objetos, la inmaterialidad, lo invisible y está basada en lo lúdico para neutralizar la monstruosidad del mundo. Frecuentemente utiliza de manera metafórica y ritual la técnica del kintsugi que consiste en restaurar lo roto con oro que combina con la poesía de la patafísica -ciencia de las soluciones imaginarias-. Ha expuesto su obra en Argentina, Italia, República Checa, Turquía, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Corea, Eslovenia, Chile, Ecuador, India, Puerto Rico, Colombia, USA y México.

“collaborating with my trance self”

The performance which would be described as a political demonstration about the disappearance of individuals in Colombia. Montero begins by showing us the black cloth which he will then use to cover his mouth, a symbolic gesture of the silence in the subject of this national crisis concerning the media and president in Colombia. He proceeds to dig a hole, and remove some debris, before finally showing us the Colombian flag and burying it. The message is a solemn indication of the silence and memorial of those affected by a national crisis effecting the Colombian people.
