Description
The exhibition itinerary winds its way through multimedia installations spanning more than four decades of exploration of sound, music, interactive media, video and artworks that address issues of identity - including gender -, cultural truth, memory and mythologies. Specifically, in MEET's Immersive Room, the artist presents V+M, a site-specific work that makes people think about social issues related to queerness, gender fluidity, and misunderstandings that can generate anger, repression, and exclusion. Here Venus and Mars, reinterpreted in a contemporary key, seem to improvise a dance and question visitors on the issue of gender. Videos visible inside cathode ray tube monitors, which present a timeline of the 1970s and 1980s, are complemented by the works Out of Chaos, with a random sequence of more than 60 stories explored with augmented reality, and Mythic Status. The latter is "composed" of four portraits--video and sound portraits--of four characters (Apollo, Atalanta, Nyx and Hercules), each with its own narrative; four queer heroes, four contemporary gods taking their cues from Greek mythology.
