Blanca Ortiga presents Shifter!, a project at the meeting point between sculpture and performativity. Shifter! (US term referring to the gear lever in manual transmission) works with the specific qualities of each material and body as a form of research, to focus on deviation, where sculptural situations and action are articulated in performative environments.
“Resistance, the tension between flexibility and mass, inertia, the effort a body can support, or material fatigue prior to breakage, are understood as living forces whose encounters are capable of activating performativity in their materiality”, as explained by the creator.
Blanca Ortiga has undertaken Shifter! under “Babestu, the Azkuna Zentroa - Alhóndiga Bilbao contemporary creation support programme”.
