See this week’s video interviews: Alexandre Vogler, Alice Miceli and Arthur Scovino
This week we posted three new exclusively-made video interviews with 2014 PIPA nominees.
In his interview, Alexandre Vogler points that most of the public institutions collections end up being collections adapted from private ones, and says he is afraid of that, as the motivations that lead to creating a private collection are often based on personal taste, investment issues, etc.
Alice Miceli, on the other hand, speaks of her work methodology – “the way I work involves projects and very dense research. There are several issues that come up in the process of drafting a work” -, comments on a project she has developed in Chernobyl and also reveals that her next work will explore contaminated minefields.
Arthur Scovino, a first time nominee, tells us about his relationship with the city of Salvador, to where he moved in 2009 “to research and live art intensely like an art residency in Bahia. Only it was real. I had no plans of ever going back to Rio de Janeiro. So I wanted to turn this project into my own life, which was to become a typical Bahia native.”
