Tania Bruguera:
Q1: It can be a monument to the absence of a leader, or if people intervene, it can be actually a performance piece where they exercise their right to say things.
R1: The quote explores the dual nature of absence and presence. A monument can symbolize leadership void, but when people engage, it becomes a powerful platform for free expression, turning silence into active, collective communication.
Q2: I think once I had a normal life in the Cuban reality, I started seeing the distance between the promises and the accomplishment.
R2: This quote reflects a personal awakening, where the illusion of a “normal” life in Cuba fades as the gap between promises and reality becomes evident. It’s a realization that challenges deeply held beliefs and expectations.
Her perspective:
Q1: If at my opening, and my opening comes only the artists of my generation, I know something's terribly wrong, because it means that my work doesn’t communicate anywhere, that means it's dead.
R1: This quote highlights the importance of connection and relevance in art. If only one generation resonates with the work, it suggests a failure to communicate universally, rendering the art stagnant and disconnected from broader, evolving audiences.
Perennial Land Project Response:
When I visited the exhibit, its interaction with the elements was engaging. The performance aspects highlighted the role of audience involvement, making the artwork feel dynamic. This immersive experience altered my perception, making the message more impactful. It helped me incorporate participatory elements to try to help me figure out my intervention project.
