CHÃO
Event
CHÃO is an exhibition-choreography that articulates different levels of height and thinks of movement as a disruptive device within the dynamics of the traditional museum space. The idea resonates with the artistic experiences of the 60s and 70s and expands when it asks: what if the entire experience had resulted from a body without verticality, close to the ground?
To trade hands for feet, or feet for the abdomen. To spin horizontally, to let fall in circles, to crawl. CHÃO brings together works and documents from artists who provoke displacements in architectural, linguistic, and institutional structures, with choreography, performativity, and score as bases for action.
In this exhibition, conceived from the construction site of CIAJG, architecture is formulated as a cut, traversed, and perforated body, which, instead of widening distances, enhances the articulations and reverberations between elevations and depths.
The attention this exhibition gives to what is "below/down" also manifests in the interest in the rumors associated with performance works, the potential of language in transmitting what happened over time, multiplying and, perhaps, distorting their narrative expressions.
The exhibition design was conceived from the collection of materials previously used in other exhibitions at CIAJG and stored in the museum's technical reserve until then. This set of objects left behind returns to the exhibition space, creating a floor that is both a cut and a fold.
