The State of Things / video

12 Hours State Vania Rovisco / Maria F. Scaroni from vaniarovisco on Vimeo.

In november 2010 I was invited to participate in 'The State of Things', a 12 hour ongoing performance by Maria Francesca Scaroni and Vania Rovisco. As they were continuously on stage from 10am to 10pm, 18 guests, amongst them dancers, actors, musicians, writers, photographers and artists, joined and interacted with them and the other performers. Audience was able to watch from 3 sides and could come and stay (or go and come back) during the whole performance for as long as they wanted.
During my first entrance, early afternoon, I painted 14 banners using liquid acrylic paint and ink (3.30).
In the second slot, early evening, I made a collage on the back wall, using the drawings as well as magazine cut outs (6.33). For photos of this and more look at my previous post on The State of Things > by clicking here and scroll down.

The State of Things / november 2010

In November 2010 I was invited to participate in 'The State of Things', a 12-hour ongoing performance of Maria Francesca Scaroni and Vania Rovisco. As they were continuously on stage from 10am to 10pm, 18 guests, amongst them dancers, actors, musicians, writers, photographers, and artists, joined and interacted with the performance and the other performers.
There was an open score, meaning that every participant had a certain time slot when to be on stage and roughly knowing what to do, or what to work with. Otherwise, the piece was not set; anything could happen, anything would happen.
During my first entrance, early afternoon, I painted 14 banners using liquid acrylic paint and ink. The transparent sheets I was painting on (each 33cm wide, 2mtr long) were hanging from lines that were put up across the space so the audience was able to watch from every angle. The banners, as well as the rest of the setting, were designed by Metka Pretnar.
In the second slot, in the evening, I made a collage on the back wall, using the drawings as well as magazine cut outs.
