My escape and I

Performance made up of two simultaneous actions, music and installation and body painting - experimental gestural painting.
Maria de Grandy - Karina Zothner.
With Nando Argüelles Art Projects in the framework of the exhibition Viajes (various), routes and Universes at Casa El Coleta 1959. Algeciras. Spain.

Two drifts, two lives, two paths, two routes that converge and move away. An action full of metaphors and symbols, clashes and counterpoints; white - black, rigid - soft, heavy - light.
Each artist investigates and reflects on their own drift conditioned by the space marked by the other; the physical space available (the location of the nails) and the continuous sound space (the screeching loop of the violin).
Past, present and future. All the possibilities, the encounters, the frustrations, the desperation and freedom as a final solution. Liberation and abandonment of forms, liberation and abandonment of ties.
Mary Grandy. Original text for the action (Starting point for Karina Zothner and arrival point for herself), original music for the action. Installation: Board, nails, white thread 140x120. Metaphor of a traveled life
Karina Zothner. Original text for the action (Starting point for María de Grandy and arrival point for herself), performative action, body painting, experimental gestural painting. Canvas, acrylic, various objects. 450x230 approx. Metaphor of a traveled life. Revision of the symbol represented as the arcanum of The High Priestess; it represents knowledge in evolution, the possibility of getting what we want if we can get through the door and face our fears.
My escape and me. An act of self-knowledge. July 2017
