Carlos Martiel: The Extremist Of Performance Art

Mar 192015

Agape Charmani for Art-Sheep

A

Carlos Martiel is a Cuban performance artist, whose work could be described as an aggressive comment on the ethics, history and behavior of the world.

A

His provocative and raw performances explore the nature of existence, social barriers and cultural traditions. His work is a form of disagreement against the established values, through physical expressions that remind one of rituals and ceremonial procedures. Commenting on issues such as censorship or persecution for cultural or political reasons, especially in his country, the artist sees his performances as a response to the way society and history have treated the minorities and the outsiders.

Carlos Martiel: Um Sussurro sobre o Chão da Pólis

Jan 092015

Text by Kelly Martínez

A

Martiel é um homem de seu tempo a ele se dirige, porém as suas práticas artísticas vão além disso para se inserir na complexa dimensão humana e na forma como a sua arte é enunciada. Sua obra não se sujeita nem nos sujeita, mas é sempre um convite para nos reconhecermos. E se ser livre é precisamente não estar submetido ao mando de ninguém e não mandar, se ser livre é desatar todos os nós, podemos dizer que, de fato, a obra de Martiel aspira – acima de todas as coisas – à liberdade. Ela lhe pertence, ela lhe canta.

Interview by Marivi Véliz

A

You say that your work is principally focused on the relationships of power that subjugate an individual within a determined context. Do you think that by positioning yourself as any individual you can obviate the fact that you are black? Did your work emerge from some kind of awareness regarding blackness? What are the origins of your work and what were the initial concerns that led you to art?
