April 6 - May 15 - Unhooked from Time, Gallery Project, Ann Arbor, MI, U.S. A.

Op

eReception:Friday, April 8, from 6-9pm.
Gallery Project presents Unhooked from Time, a multimedia exhibit in which 28 local, regional and national artists examine how we have lost our sense of the cycles of nature, and how we have artificially hooked ourselves to linear digital time. 
The exhibit opens on Wednesday, April 6 and runs through Sunday, May 15.  The opening reception is Friday, April 8 from 6-9.

Virtually everything we do is time based, scheduled and driven by time.  Jobs are 9 to 5.  Many work 24/7. Activities begin and end by the clock. We take a two-week vacation, rent a cottage and a car by the week, and reserve courts and sports equipment by the hour. The wealthy complain about being time poor.  We go to the dentist at 8 am, car repair at noon, gym at 5pm, dinner reservations at 8pm, keeping an eye on the clock. 
 The exhibit seeks to comprehend and express our loss, as we find ourselves separated from the deeper context of time’s referent: the great primordial cycles in which we humans and all of nature are embedded.  It considers human respond to the loss of relationship to real time, how we keep track of and use time to find meaning, comfort, a sense of control in our digitized lives.

March 6 - SITE fest 2011 - Grace Exhibition Space, Brooklyn, New York

UNREAL EXIT - a new performance for New York City!

I am very thrilled for this new performance I'll make for New York City! For this occasion I have prepared a performance that is representing very well my way of being here in the city in those months I've lived in. I decided to re-elaborate a concept and a series of work I had made few years ago on the theme of the 'boxes' (being in and being out of stereotypes and schemes) and make it new for this occasion, the trendiest performance festival in town!

February 28 2011 - The 5th Global Day of Slow Living, New York

THE SLOWLY PROJECT. TAKE YOUR TIME - NEW YORK - a new performance of the Slowly Project series will take place in New York City on Feb 28 and March 2, 2011

Slowness, like silence, is the opposite of the roar of stress, the noisy devourer of all things.

Slowness as a reaction to the bulimia of wanting to consume everything while tasting nothing.

Slowness like the listening to the natural rhythm of things, a sequence of becoming that does not tower over us.

Slowness like the possibility to be amazed at a spontaneous event, silence in which a single voice might be heard.

November 4, 2010 - Turin, Artissima, Opening

UNTITLED 2010 - interactive performance

Liuba, artista e performer di livello internazionale, lavora con video, fotografia ed urban interactive performance.
L'imprevedibilità delle reazioni umane ad un atto imprevisto ed insolito, come un abbraccio da uno sconosciuto, rendono la performance una sorta di meta linguaggio tra studio sociale e gesto artistico. Vengono toccati alcuni tabù e fobie endemiche della nostra società che ormai ha allontanato la spontaneità e la fisicità dalle abituali relazioni umane.
In occasione di Artissima 2010, Liuba ha deciso di realizzare questa performance inedita incentrata sul tema dell'abbraccio con cui va a coinvolgere direttamente il pubblico della fiera.

INTERVIEW TO ARTIST LIUBA - curated by Loredana Barillaro

pubblicato il 01/06/2010
Le azioni di Liuba danno voce e sostanza alle mille sfaccettature della società contemporanea, a situazioni complesse che vanno al di là del proprio mondo individuale, in cui la tensione del corpo e della mente talora è massima. Performances che nascono e crescono in contesti all’apparenza spontanei. Una sorta di un gioco che si delinea quasi come un corpo-a-corpo che vede il pubblico divenire, al contempo, osservatore e protagonista inconsapevole, ed in cui le regole sono sempre pronte a mutare la loro natura.
