ARTWORK
FLORIN FLUERAS IN COLLABORATION WITH ELIZA TREFAS
26 NOVEMBER 2020
Artwork borrows from somatic, spiritual, and therapeutic methods and aesthetics, but it is mainly a way to recontextualize and activate artworks in a “technique” (“method”) format. It has the Unworks at its core (Unexperiences, Unimages, Unvisitors, Unhere, Unexist), and it expands to incorporate works by other artists. Artwork is ambiguous – technique, performance, therapy, workshop, exhibition, educative and promotional event – an artwork and a new method at the same time.
