In memoriam: Dixon Calvetti
“The uncertainty of the future, together with the conditions of how to assume drift and other survival limits, have made us formulate, design, and carry out, whether empirically or not, various types of provisional MANEUVERS to know how to occupy, inhabit, or move.
We establish, through inertia, necessity, or dedication, ways of relating to objects or other materials and devices in our daily environment.
From these relationships, we accommodate new types of readings– visual, conceptual, expressive, or all the above–in relation to dealing with things, tools, utensils, equipment, supplies, clothing, and appliances.
We build daily autofictions of survivals with MANEUVERS, new multiethnic meanings of territorial behavior, social, domestic, and urban conducts.
We are an extinct sphere of maneuvers on a short trip without exact metrics. The works that make up this recent video performance exhibition are made by Venezuelan artists who reside in different parts of the world and are mainly built upon the notion of the power that MANEUVERS have in different places and situations to face or achieve any purpose. Even to the point of doing nothing, because even so, nothing is a purpose too.”
Macjob Parabavis, curator of Maneuvers Sites.
