MIHAI IEPURE-GÓRSKI
Outer Skin - steps towards termination
1. PUT ON the Outer Skin. Do it slowly, carefully. Make it meaningful, it is an outer skin after all.
2. WEAR the Outer Skin. Try to get comfortable with it, standing, sitting, maybe try some walking. Take your time but don’t overdo it. (Be aware vision is limited so make sure the area is safe).
3. TAKE OFF the Outer Skin. Again, do it slowly, carefully. There isn’t much left now.
4. CUT the Outer Skin to pieces using the available scissors. The smaller the better.
5. DISPOSE of the leftovers. Consider the Outer Skin terminated.

LERA KELEMEN
self fitting room
What is a performance without audience? If the scope of a performative, thus communicative, act is to transmit a message, what happens when there is no one there to receive it? Does the absence of a perceptive body cancel the essence of the act itself? Through its nature, a performative act is intended to address and create a situation for the audience, as well as the performer. Without a dialog, therefore a reaction, the action itself becomes futile. Or does it? By setting the conceptual frame for a performative action, the cabin creates a paradoxical situation for the user where he/she can perform (or not) any actions, without being seen.

OLIVIA MIHĂLȚIANU
CM5041AX, 2020, ceramic, paint, ø 16cm, video instructions (2K, sound, 1 min).

The public is invited to drop the ceramic piece as an iconic gesture (see video instructions). This action can destroy the object, but ideas are indestructible.
CM5041AX is part of the long term project art miles* and conceived as a response to the invitation of Process Terminus Extended by Sandwich, an event which is facilitating and questioning in the same time the destruction and the limits of art works.
*art miles is an artistic platform enabling knowledge, understanding and use of art, both for artists and art consumers. The entire process is relying on the desalienating function of creation.
