Biography: I am an artist with a background in dance and photography. My works have been shown in Brazil, Germany and Canada. My creations are performance-based and often involve, use and build relational objects and photography. With an MFA from the Bauhaus University in Art in Public Spaces, I am primarily interested in the relations between the body and the city as two interconnected entities. I am currently doing my PhD at Concordia University where I investigate the intersections between dance and visual arts in ephemeral creations that transform urban settings. I write about contemporary dance (for brazilian publications) and have been teaching contemporary art for the past eight years.

Bianca Scliar – Fugue Fugue was part of a collective exhibition that had intended to deal, in public space with political memories of a town that was destroyed twice during the two world wars (LEUVEN, 2003).My starting point were images of citizens fleeing, found in that city’s archives. I was attracted to the silhouettes, transformed by the belongings attached to their bodies and started a process creating different pieces. Finally I extracted the bundles from the archive images and transformed them into small sculptures, rebuilt in the original size in wood and lead- the heaviest stable material on earth, which is curiously also extremely malleable. They were then installed in a heterotopic site, an urban garden that served as a shortcut between two street levels and showed to the public as a site-specific installation. The passers by play an important role, as they can move the bundles, carry them, rearrange, and once they are in the site. Fugue alludes to the body ephemerality and the heaviness of history one has to embody.
Fugue (LEUVEN, 2003) fait partie d’une exposition collective qui a tenté de comprendre dans l’espace public les mémoires politiques d’une ville détruite deux fois pendant les guerres mondiales. Mon point de départ a été des images de citoyens fuyant, trouvées dans les archives de cette ville. Les silhouettes transformées par leurs effets personnels attachés à leurs corps m’ont attiré, et j’ai alors commencé un processus créant différents objets.

Mes créations sont des performances qui incorporent souvent des objets relationnel et la photographie. Avec une maîtrise de l’Université Bauhaus en Art dans les Espaces Publics, je suis principalement intéressée par les relations entre le corps et la ville vus comme deux entités interconnectées. Je fais actuellement mon Doctorat à l’Université de Concordia où j’explore les intersections entre la danse et les arts visuels à travers des créationséphémères qui transforment la configuration urbaine. J’écris sur la danse contemporaine (pour des publications brésiliennes) et j’enseigne l’art contemporain depuis huit ans. |
