Cooperative Performativa is a collective that brings together the Romanian artists Maria Baroncea, Florin Flueras, Eduard Gabia, Alexandra Pirici and Iuliana Stoianescu. Starting from the basic idea of open source, they investigate the (power) relationship of art insti-tutions and artists, claims to ownership and copyright interests in one’s own work, the necessity of guidance and direction in a group as well as the product-oriented forms of collaboration, which are based on agreement, negotiation and compromises. The emphasis of their project is the process itself, which – on a largely grassroots democratic basis – creates heterotopias, differences and commonalities in one’s own as well as others’ artistic creation, connected with the attempt not to judge them but precisely to highlight their diversity.
During a one-week encounter with a group of artists working in Vienna, the discursive strategies developed by Cooperativa Performativa will be challenged and tested.
The results of this open working process will be presented on 16 December and are at the same time the curtain-raiser and framework for the discussion of the restructured residency programme that the Tanzquartier Wien together with KulturKontakt Austria and other partners will be continuing in the 2009/10 season.Links:
