Elisa Shoenberger on lo bil
The power of public performance art is the unknown encounter. It’s watching performers interact with the outside world, whether it’s the physical landscape they inhabit or their relationship to people and other animals around them. Naturally, the level of improvisation varies per performer and performance. Some are contained pieces, requiring little audience input, but not fully isolated from the world. Other pieces and performers invite participants into the performance.
Elisa Shoenberger on Hector Canonge: Communicating in the Gaps
In this age of dizzyingly fast communications, we forget how mere decades ago mail was most people’s form of contact. People sent handwritten long letters or even postcards telling them about their adventures. People would have to wait days, sometimes weeks, even months for letters to arrive to learn how their loved ones were doing. There was no guarantee of a reply. This world seems ancient compared to our communications today where we can zip off an email, hop on a video call with someone across the city, the country, or the world.
