Mireia c. Saladrigues, Into Sugar We Could Have Turned Performance, 45'
What does a hammer blow to a Michelangelo sculpture tell us about our relationship with the masterpiece (and with art)? What sources of information, other than archives and individuals, frees up an act of iconoclasm? How did scientific restorers extract data from the David's fragments? How do we accommodate the mate-reality of (marble) dust? Does it become a testimony to the attack? In a performative exhibition Mireia c. Saladrigues will activate documents, narratives and other materials, navigating between history, institutional archives, narrative, autobiography, and geology.
