HABITacción
Año: 2013
“Habitar es
continuar el espacio, es un hecho activo y transformador, de afectación mutua,
entre espacios y cuerpos. Es un compartir desde la tolerancia y en los
intersticios entre cuerpos”. Habitación es un proyecto organizado por Adrián
Gómez y Gustavo Villa para la Galería Santa fe. Este laboratorio es en
intercambio a través de la convivencia (por espacio de varios días), de la
coexistencia dentro de la galería no solo de varios artistas sino de varias
perspectivas y miradas. Dentro del laboratorio el grupo geocorpus habito el
lugar por espacio de semana, en la cual
sus integrantes convivieron y se relacionaron con el espacio y con otros habitantes
del lugar; también realizaron varias
acciones, tanto individuales como colectivas dentro del marco del laboratorio.
La experiencia dentro del lugar les llevo a realizar no solo una apropiación
del espacio, sino una comunicación con otros desde las artes acciónales y la
simple convivencia y correlación de individuos.

“La piñata”
Performance
Año: 2010
En esta nueva versión de el performance La piñata quisimos céntranos no solo en
la celebración “de un año más de vida” y dejamos a un lado el aspecto estético
que hay alrededor de aquella celebración, nos enfocamos más en aspectos
autobiográficos y auto referenciales de cada uno de los miembros del grupo. La
propuesta colectiva se fraccionó en cuatro eventos ocurridos en el mismo tiempo
y lugar. Cada integrante utilizo una reproducción propia en forma de piñata y
realizo una acción en la cual mostraba
una parte de sí mismo, en cierta forma se estaba “desnudando” y a la vez
“desgarrando” de manera metafórica, trascendiendo el significado de la piñata
como reflexión de la vida y de su ser como individuo.

Participation:
Event: PERFORMANCE ROULETTE from the Central Canadian Center for Performance (CCCP)
Place: Transmitted over the web from Bogotá, Colombia; projected in real time across the world and producing the show live from public space available in the center of Winnipeg, Canada.
It deals about "Bodies, Spaces and Frontiers", the construction of a dialog generated between body and environment. When a body moves, it crosses spaces, relates and communicates with other bodies. However, simultaneously it is exposed to limitations that can go from corporal and space frontiers to the geographical frontiers.
General description:
The proposal consists of doing a live transmission from webcam of an action projected in an enclosed space: Three people stand on the floor, in front to web camera. One person goes to displace through the legs of the three standing people. The web camera focuses from the waist to the feet of them.

“La piñata”…un año más es un año menos
Workshop-performance
Year: 2010
It is a collective proposal where we developed the conception of “birthday” taking the object of piñata as signal of its celebration. For this performance, we observed the celebration into ambiguous meanings, from the one side common people see it as a way to show that a person is one year old more in his life, from the other side one more year is one more less with life.
The workshop-performance want to people think about the aesthetic of birthdays celebration doing a contrast between the happiness that generate it and simultaneously showing a funereal attitude through the use of objects with opposite colors to common celebration, for instance black and white dresses, land, eggs, the Colombia’s flag and a cake without the typical ingredients. This contrast is referring how Colombian people live a daily routine into opposite feelings such as sadness and happiness, observing day by day problems related with violence and concurrently, enjoying ephemeral experiences.

Avientese
Workshop-performance
Year: 2010
Through it, we wanted to question the contemporaneous artist’s role regarding the society, specially to reflection about collective works and artist creations, artistic methodologies used in common people when an artist want to share his/her experiences. We called it Aviéntese referring to a way to people risk to know them through action art, allowing that they create as well as us.
In this activity each person starts creating an individual work, later, he/she shares with other to do collective art work taking into account his/her own skills, for this reason we use different materials easy to use.

“The Brotherhood of Strangers”
Workshop-performance
Year: 2010
This presentation was a performance plus a workshop where the students had an introduction to know about the artistic expressions related with performance, happening and action art. At the beginning, we started to do a performance which each member had a specific role altering the space through his/her own objects showing particular features regarding their dresses and behaviors. We took the play and pedagogic strategies as main factor taking into account that the presentation was made for a school.

Concreto
Intervention
Year: 2010
With this intervention, we wanted to approach different possibilities to explore public space, thinking and creating new ideas about it. For that reason, we develop this action in a way of dialog with the place through the action of drawing streets, asphalt, sidewalks, grilles and bars on the concrete. We think that those spaces are not conceived as other objects which also inhabits the place due to that people are not completely aware of all their environ and features. In this action we were drawing with bricks and playing with its dust simultaneously. We used bricks because it is common object to make a modern building; in this way, we did an analogy relating to human being when he/she creates a nexus between body and space, destroying and creating things which can already be made, like shapes and lines that reflect specific ideologies over the urban space through his architecture.

Subversive Bodies
Performance
Place: Bogotá, Colombia.
Year: 2010
Geo Corpus was invited to do a presentation in Casa Quince Dieciséis which is a space where people do artistic projects and present their works. Sometimes they did events such as Sessions of “Modelo vivo Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School” that consisted in invited common people to draw models in a presentation. In that moment we did some actions wandering around the space and showing at the same time particular behaviors to random. We had our body modified through prosthesis designed by us because we wanted that it were also as installations, thinking in the bodies as objects put on the space.
