During BIG ART Amsterdam, OPA will collaborate in supporting PhallAndGalia’s live performance Communicatie Computer Says “Home”: A Fabric of Homes.
An interactive installation and live performance, where PhallAndGalia share experiences of “home” together with the audience. These conversations will be stitched together during the exhibition, which creates a growing installation. The project combines the bureaucratic alienation – the papieren werkelijkheid – and the lived experiences of home. By doing so, we represent the relation of art and place, in temporary social networks coming to visit the venue.
At the artistic journey of PhallAndGalia is a dialogue between color and frame, space and movement, which we have been creating since the pandemic. From April 2020 we were not allowed to meet each other because of the Corona pandemic regulations in Turkey and the Netherlands. In our online calls, we decided to commit to love and touch, as resistance to bureaucratic definitions that alienate rather than define us. In our work the performative element plays a central role in creating narrative structures for live performances and site-specific installations.
Exhibition opening BIG ART:
27 – 29 september 2024 in Het Slotervaart
