Paolo Angelosanto. Project for
a residence at La Chambre Blanche in Québec
From August 2 till
My key objective is to develop new
ideas and grow up as an artist, trying to carry out my research both in
performatory and visual arts field.
I think to the possibility of
creating different initiatives addressed to the public, thank to the use of
different kind of communication, such as short performances to
be carried out on the street, seeking for the interaction between space
and site, hoping to create a substantial dialogue with
the territory, in view to realize a project or an opera site specific.
Up to this experience, it is my will
to find an interconnection between my artistic research and the site, through
partnerships and relationships with agencies, institutions, critics and
artists.
As I did in other
occasions, I would like to write a journal
about this experience in Québec.
Short biographic note about Paolo Angelosanto
Born at Saint Denis (
Lives and works at
“I use my body as an expressive
medium in performances, and use photographs and video as a testimony of these
performances. The private becomes public within a poetic dimension, before it
becomes political. I work on projects and experiment with different languages,
drawing, sculpture, and painting, with a preference for video and photography”.
