Brenda Novak, artist (Brazil, Sao Paulo)

Performance ENTRETIEMPO

Brenda Novak and Marco Flores Fioramanti
With the collaboration of Theo Allegretti in live music

Performance Art gets visibility in the crossing points in between, when the

Art Market is in crisis. In the end of the last Free Performance Art Festival

on March 31 till April 1st , Brenda Novak and Marco Flores Fioramanti

start working together, from reflexions of the meridians of the body in the

Traditional Chinese Medicine system. Brenda comes from her BodyHouse concept project, and works as well as artist, as therapist with Tui-na Chinese massage. Marco has several perfomances already using meridians as an aesthetic idea, plus what is behind, or above, the skin.

They present their work in resonance of the mondial situation of our all bodies inside our houses, in the Pandemic Emergency getting resonances. We all have our bodies as an eternal limit of each life. They show the performance ENTRETIEMPO in this new online Free Performance Art

Festival in May 2nd. They are talking about healing, coming up inspired by Platoon Texts, specially the Myth of the Cave. They reflect about being inside the cave, our houses, in the circumstances that we all are now. The house now as prison, or creating a situation getting liberation of new possible levels of internal new states of aesthetic artistic communication. Each one at the proper house, getting connection in between visual elements that creates a poetical situation.
