The practitioner/researcher cannot take for granted

whether or not she/he has an independent objective

reality.  Instead, I presuppose that there are and will

be differing and shifting conceptual frameworks that

evolve alongside the encounters I have with individuals

and groups in community.

 

Individuals in partnership may represent their own

individualism of or in correspondence with a/the community

in which they belong.

 

I am, my art is, a project of empowerment.

This is a progression of earlier development for my MACA creative project, Visual and Physical Representations of Individuals in Collaboration.

Visual and Physical Representations of Individuals in Collaboration explores the process of defining a community arts practice that positions the sensibility of dance, arts related community organizing and consensus building.

 

No body exists outside of its relationship to other bodies and the powers and counter powers of society. To teach and be taught, lead and to be lead: actively reallocating power. The purpose is to get people in touch with the idea that we benefit from working together.

 

Projects explore collaborative art making and a methodology to develop participant’s skills in designing art-work/performance that will be executed by several individuals. The products represent this process through video documentation and in the form of interdisciplinary art.

Alexis Iammarino, pencil on paper and gouache. 4ft x 5 1/12"

August 2010

 

These four paintings are meditations on my experience co-facilitating community art workshops with youth.

In making them I was thinking about ways to represent the unique and beautiful things that are born of collaboration. Relationships in this model are associational as opposed to hierarchical, to teach and be taught, lead and to be lead.
