EXHIBICIONES / PROYECTOS
PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE
SECRETARY
Public actions.
(ongoing project since 2009)
The project consists of a series of performances to be
carried out in different locations of the Buenos Aires
city, along with the creation of the "first document of
a Parallel and Emancipated Culture Secretary".
A performer introduces herself as a PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED
CULTURE SECRETARY. She presents the project and the activity
to be performed and actively encourages the audience to
participate in the creation of this PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED
CULTURE SECRETARY, whose existence will delimit the length
of the project. |

Description:
ECS is proposed as a space to be reconceived in different
contexts and times.
Its activities are interventions/amendments on the printed pages
taken from the web site of the city government’s Culture
Secretary. These pages constitute a map of institutions, areas,
contents, programs, scholarships, and grants. They represent
and manage explicit and implicit contracts with what we call
art and culture.
PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY invites to the audience to MARK, ADD, CROSS
OUT, DRAW, ENHANCE, PROPOSE, CLEAR, and ERASE on these pages.
These pages constitute the first worldwide document of a PARALLEL
AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY.
