ThePress: Believing in Performance Art

by ALEhA SOLANO ARTISTIC STATEMENT

“For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.” ~ Sanskrit proverb

AlehaSolano (Bogotá, 1980)

Urban researcher, performance artist, producer & manager of cultural experiences from Latin America to the world. With diverse audiences found in museums, galleries & urban public spaces, her most recent interventions have been based on gender interaction symbolically seeking to revive the inanimate. Projections through the installed voice over empty spaces appear to release the stored energy in daily life. Through her work she seeks to give life to this imagery that has prolonged the tradition & the status quo of the inhabitants in the city, showing its secrets, reviving the collective memory to construct a portrait of a society and an era.

Among her works and individual interests are: << IN YOUR FACE Neither an artist nor a hairdresser, just a barberwoman >>> Performance October 2nd/2014 CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM SANTA FE Gallery * Bogotá, Colombia IV Relational Arts Meeting organized by Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, Los Andes University and the Academy of Arts of Bogotá ASAB October 16th/2014 LA NORMANDA Bogotá, Colombia I AM NOT GOING TO FALL IN LOVE ANYMORE, “Despecho Project” by Creaciones Vargas http://proyectodedespecho.blogspot.com/ January 10th/2015 "LA TERTULIA" Museum Cali, Colombia With FRIENDLY PICNIC * GORE PLAYGROUND sound improvisation. << UNWANTED: Retrospective of Abel Azcona >>> Performance
