{"uid":"YXHBD6WCb6Mq5ejp","type":"artist","tags":["videoinstallation","sculpture"],"group":"no","group_name":null,"project_title":"Cansada e teimosa (working title)","summary":"This project entails developing of a new exhibition following Canseira, my first solo show developed in 2019 specifically for the space of the Centro Helio Oiticica in Rio (BR), curated by Raphael Fonseca. The new exhibition will gather works related to the ambivalence of resting and working at the same time. The show can be used by the general public as place to relax while it also promotes an awareness to how our free time is captured today. I wish to relate some of the same works in Canseira to another place in South America, working with its specificities to also create new works. A central work in the show is \u201cO dia que aprendi a dizer WORKATION\u201d, four self-portrait videos where I interact with my phone with stock images found by googling the term \u2018workation\u2019 (work+vacation). I reconstruct the paradox in the images: working in bed, the hammock, the beach, a terrace. As the camera zooms out, I \u201cfall out of\" the WORKATION model. Other works are the Tired Mobile series, where I use words related to exhaustion to make fragile mobiles that are always moving, and Ribanceira, a safety net and hammock where people can lie down, and feel gravity pull them down to the ground. One piece that I would like to specifically rethink in relation to a new location is \"Aproxima\u00e7\u00f5es (Cosmococas \/ Escrit\u00f3rios)\" a series of 5 diptych wall panels juxtaposing installation shots of Brazilian avant-garde artist H\u00e9lio Oiticica\u2019s Cosmococas series (1973) with images of contemporary office spaces.","space":"As the works have variable dimensions, I would be able to work with many different indoor and outdoor spaces and sizes. I would like to find a place that relates to historical references around leisure, rest, and relaxation. Many cities in South America are being exploited under this notion of \u201cflexible labor\u201d coming from the Silicon Valley, and I am eager to research new relations like the one I found between Helio Oiticica and the Google offices in the series \u201cAproxima\u00e7\u00f5es\" mentioned above.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"bizarro","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/353834797\/137191a93a","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"http:\/\/sofiacaesar.net\/CANSEIRA","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":10,"names":"Sofia","surname":"Caesar","email":"sofiagcaesar@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"020558677-18","address":"Rua Dias de Barros 51 \/ 502, Santa Teresa","city":"Rio de Janeiro","nacionality":"Brasil","country_id":"34","birthdate":"1989-01-26T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1989-01-26T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+5521965408077","web":"sofiacaesar.net"}
