Conversation Piece and Performance with Camila Sposati @ MAK Vienna

Der Ton und seine Töne (Clay and its Tones)

Camila Sposati’s gestural clay sculptures interpret the use of form of musical instruments—and in this conversation piece the artist will play on them! Before the sound performance, the curators of the exhibition will talk to Camilla Sposati about the relationship between culture and nature, the interpretation of community in small and large forms, as well as the link to rituals in her cultural environment in Brazil. Sposati makes the instruments in her Balata series from a rubber-like substance, a traditional indigenous material gained in the Amazon.
