It will be the culmination of Tralla's durational performative practice having designed, knitted and traded over 27,500 hats, cardigans, mittens, headbands, frisbees and pom-poms under the moniker of Natty Peeps. \n\nThe proposed project will bring hands-on, lived experience of an artist-market trader adhering to the slow life movement yet rebelliously resisting the dominant neo-liberal paradigm. It will radicalise the identity of the craft business woman earned independently over 10 years from within the markets of London. It will chart the transmission of the production techniques belonging to the pre-capitalist artistic production such as traditional Estonian crafts alongside the transmission of techniques drawn from science, scholarship, entertainment, political activism and everyday life.\n\nThe notions of criticality and publicness are central to the proposed project. Starting with the question A Good Day? \u2013 which refers to the ubiquitous greeting amongst market stall owners Did you have a good day? \u2013 this project will become a pop-up agora temporarily set at the epicentre of the biennial art world. It will allow other questions to be raised echoing the twin functions of the Ancient Greek Agora as a political and a commercial space where the word agora derived from the two verbs \"I shop\" and \"I speak in public\".","space":"A Good Day? proposes to transform any of the Bienalsur designated exhibition spaces into a market complete with stalls, stories and criticality. This agora will offer an immersive experience of the artist\u2019s hand-crafted commodities which will be embedded with sensors for interaction, screens playing the stories of the artisans and market traders, data collected from slow production, reflections on free trade and consumer interaction as well as testing the viewers attitudes to the value systems.","artists_proposal":"Mare Tralla, British Estonian, https:\/\/iliyananedkova.wordpress.com\/2020\/05\/08\/mare-tralla\/, https:\/\/www.tralla.net\/about\/","members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/398117555","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Iliyana","surname":"Nedkova","email":"iliyana@crowriver.net","dni_type":"Other","dni":"Other","address":"27\/7 Rossie Place","city":"Edinburgh","nacionality":"Bulgarian settled in the UK since 1996","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1968-04-07T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1968-04-07T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00447505654358","web":"https:\/\/iliyananedkova.wordpress.com\/","fileCount":1}
