PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY
Public actions.
(ongoing project since 2009)
The project consists of a series of performances to be carried out in different locations of the Buenos Aires city, along with the creation of the "first document of a Parallel and Emancipated Culture Secretary".
A performer introduces herself as a PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY. She presents the project and the activity to be performed and actively encourages the audience to participate in the creation of this PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY, whose existence will delimit the length of the project.

Printed Instructions


e.g: page to intervene

 

 

Description:

ECS is proposed as a space to be reconceived in different contexts and times.
Its activities are interventions/amendments on the printed pages taken from the web site of the city government’s Culture Secretary. These pages constitute a map of institutions, areas, contents, programs, scholarships, and grants. They represent and manage explicit and implicit contracts with what we call art and culture.
PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY invites to the audience to MARK, ADD, CROSS OUT, DRAW, ENHANCE, PROPOSE, CLEAR, and ERASE on these pages. These pages constitute the first worldwide document of a PARALLEL AND EMANCIPATED CULTURE SECRETARY.
