"You're going to tell me that I'm getting anxious, well, it's the economic consequence of my mental blockage," we hear in Liv Schulman's film L'obstruction (Argentina, 1985).
Language games, black humour and absurd speech are all means used by Liv Schulman to build her films, narratives and performances. For this session at the Centre Pompidou, two recent films, revealing situations of blockage and waiting, will be screened: L'obstruction, 2017, 25' and Polis-Polis, 2018, 38'.
Liv Schulman's works have been shown and performed at the Ricard Foundation (2018), Reina Sofia, Madrid (2018), Friche Belle de Mai, Marseille (2018), Galerie Noisy-le-Sec (2017), Sixty Eight art Institute, Copenhagen (2017) and the Biennale de Rennes (2016).
Liv Schulman (Argentina) is a recipient of the Cité internationale des arts Visual Arts Committees and recipient of the 2018 Ricard Corporate Foundation Award.
