#AliveAtSatellite
December 1-4, 2016
SATELLITE ART SHOW // The Parisian Hotel,1510 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL
Curated by Quinn Dukes, Founder of Performance Is Alive
CURATOR'S STATEMENT
#AliveAtSatellite curatorial selections were determined in direct response to the heightened political rhetoric and fear mongering tactics suspended over our heads and across media streams throughout the 2016 presidential election. Threats of erecting walls, cutting funding and rights for women's healthcare, indifference towards racial inequality and the blatant denial of global warming all fueled this series. The nature of Satellite Art Show is rebellious and uncensored thus offering a platform for unapologetic discourse- which is precisely what emanated from each performer. Performance art has admittedly grown in popularity over the past five years but it is commonly situated within events as a spectacle or sideshow. It is often not given the same level of respect as the commodified or sellable object. Having an exhibition space entirely devoted to performance was and is a statement within itself. This form of art practice is vulnerable, confrontational and clearly, alive.
In addition to a dynamic range of conceptual foundations nearly every type of performance art/live art/action art possible was presented. Interactive durational works, short form presentations, video projection with dancers and singers, kayakers, saxophone players, Livestream pop shows, sparring matches… this list can continue for quite sometime but in summary, a full range of performative complexity was present, raising questions and initiating discussion during a time that demands it.
