18:30 – 19:15 h
Screening: The Rules of the Game. A conversation-performance in sequence shot about declassification, institutional violence and class performance between Brigitte Vasallo and María Ruido
The Rules of the Game is a conversation-performance in sequence shot between the writer and activist Brigitte Vasallo and the artist, filmmaker and researcher María Ruido about declassification, institutional violence and class performance. The Rules of the Game dives into the difficulties, conflicts and contradictions of class and gender related to the world of labour within the artistic and cultural sphere, and how, from a personal and intimate perspective, we attempt to respond to them.
This conversation stems from the idea that declassification is not only about enjoying other economic and social conditions. Declassification is also about taking on certain normativity that amputates the possibility of internal movement, which blinds and cancels something that belongs to you. Gesture and language must correspond to this new, entirely politica performativity, which speaks of the place you must occupy.
This piece was commissioned by Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani de Palma and led to a solo exhibition of the same title between March and August 2022.
