Counting sand grains. Two chairs, a small table, two people sitting
in front of each other; one of them takes a handful of sand and starts
counting them one by one (once in a while he would take notes with a
pencil in a small notebook) while the other one observes; once the
performance is over, they switch roles. During the whole night, the
table had been used by two members of the group: Abdiel Segarra and
Wilmarie Ramos.
That which cannot be painted. During 6 minutes and 20 seconds,
Rafael Vargas Bernard listens to a remix of a song authored by Ramito,
in which the singer criticized the 1960’s generation of painters for
not reflecting in their works the pain and suffering experienced
during that time. Each time the song repeats some word related to
painting, Vargas would slap in his face.
Celebration Object: Karlo Andrei Ibarra reflects upon the island’s
current social, political and economical order’s problematic through a
physical de-construction (convert them into confetti and putting it
into a piñata) of the negative headlines appearing in the newspaper
coming up then after a half-toned celebration. Ensemble members
Melissa Sarthou, Natalia Martinez and Rafael Miranda read out loud the
headlines while Ibarra executes the de-construction.
Moving money inside the gallery. Rafael Vargas Bernard drags a penny
on the floor with his nose from the gallery’s entrance to the street
outside.
