Training Wear II (2020) 

 

Performance at Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP), part of Curação project. 

Curator Paula Garcia and Carol Rikka

'Training Wear II" Performance consist in a nail extension process of the last two fingers(ring and pinky finger) with almost every Curação Artist in CCSP. Along 3 days and 5 hours each, i replicate the environment of a nail salon, wearing a training wear, an evening dress stamped with images of nails made by me in a - non ending - period of training. The construction of the last 2 nails is a cultural reference to chinese and royalty empresses, that wore long nails as a representation of status quo and wealth.

​

The performance evokes physical contact between the artist and every guest present, in times os social isolation, through nail care and the touch of hands. It's a sequel of the video-performance made in the beggining of 2020, which i exhibit the process of extending nails in my room, contrasting this informality with the formality of the evening dress worn.
