Cuerpo Inarte

[Cuerpo Inarte] Concept

CUERPO INarte

Thought and action. The concepts on which humanity rests spin around us, impossible to pin down. No matter how much we try to resolve the puzzle of our existence, the transubstantiation of reality prevents the true nature of things appearing clearly before us. In spite of having penetrating and intertwined knowledge, the prevailing single mindset and aggressive defence of our positions have led us to construct a History full of inequality and injustice. Science and technology, in the service of art, allow us to imagine an INART BODY, arising from the fusion between the feminine and the masculine, which allows us to imagine alternatives to that which is given. Do creation and destruction drive civilisation? Is it necessary to destroy in order to create? Human beings have developed the technology, science and art that improve our quality of life, but also the tools that can provoke self-destruction. Wars are the maximum exponents of our ability to destroy, and there seems to be no end to this insane race (the news don't offer much hope: the Middle East, Iraq, terrorism...) Wars have always been and still are a constant element throughout History. A Mirror in which we can see ourselves as we are, free of adornment, and reflect on our enormous capacity to degrade everything we touch.
The history of the 20th century is lesson enough. We've caused the human body to become INERT.

If we are responsible for causing so much destruction, Science and Technology, in the service of Art, allow us to conceive of a being - an INART body - which emerges from the fusion of the masculine and feminine and offers new paradigms that allow us to imagine alternatives to war. Destroy to create? No, create to create more!

As artists, we don’t want to create purely stylistic or aesthetic works that place observers exclusively in the role of passive consumers (we don't like the example offered by the war in former Yugoslavia: while a village was being bombed, the inhabitants watched the spectacle from bars and rooftops.)

Audiovisual installation: 5 video-dvds, 20’ each, projected on 12, 5 x 4 meter screens. Sculptures and infographics made using mixed media on photographic paper.

Location: Empty petrol tanker, 50 m in diameter, located in the heart of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
