Untitled, Corpoema Series, by Beatriz Provasi and Marcelo Valle (2012), at Falo de Erotismo Exhibition (2024)

Curated by Suyan de Mattos, the exhibition Falo de Erotismo (2024) brings together 39 Brazilian artists from diverse backgrounds around the theme of eroticism. This group forms the Cuscuz Collective, which aims to challenge conventional notions when discussing eroticism and pornography in contemporary art.

​

In a way, the group aims to convey a hint of irony, of sarcasm, as eroticism possesses these layers that do not necessarily overtly display genital organs. The title Falo de Erotismo plays with the duality of "falo" (from the Portuguese "falar" meaning "to speak"; I speak = falo = phallus). The title intends to be exactly this phallus that loses its majesty, that is no longer the erect, Alpha, invasive phallic-centric stereotype. "Falo" as "speaking" inundates other parts and opens other possibilities... The title intends to be provocative rather than confirming.

​

The traveling exhibition is scheduled to visit galleries in 2024 and 2025 such as Vórtice in São Paulo, Rumos in Goiânia, and Decurators in Brasília, as well as the MixBrasil Festival in São Paulo, where unreleased works are expected. ​

Using material exploration, audience participation, and improvisation as their methodology, the performers collectively create diverse performative actions.

Event: 8M International Women's Day demonstration on Av. Rio Branco

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In the performance Mermaids Formation on 8M (2018), performers from the feminist collective Formação de Sereias (Mermaids Formation) engage in a performative action during the March 8th International Women's Day demonstration.

​

In this action, a group stands at the front of the march wearing masks of oppressive men, military prints, and wielding umbrellas as weapons. At the command "prepare, aim", they open the umbrellas as shields, blocking the way. Various types of violence are written on them.

​

The other performers advance one by one but do not break through the barrier. Pushed back, they fall to the ground. Finally, they advance together, singing, surround the group, tear down the umbrellas and masks, and clear the path. Chanting feminist protest chants, they all rejoin the march.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Collective Performance (2017) brings together various performers participating in the International Performance Art Festival Body Landscapes for a performative improvisation at Verdens Kultur Centret, concluding a workshop conducted by Ellen Friis and Ignacio Pérez Pérez.

​

Using improvisation with objects, text, sound, body, interactions with others, the audience, and the space, the performers create numerous images, situations, and successive and juxtaposed events. These elements engage in dialogue, contrast, conflict, or complementarity, composing a multicultural and polyphonic play in a high-voltage experimental process.

​

The "scene" consists of a series of performative actions carried out in a public square, where the performers wear masks of politicians. Initially, they set off fireworks and light smoke flares from the theater's balcony. In the square, they stage a "debate" among presidential candidates, which is a choreographed fight inspired by Mexican lucha libre wrestling. They then proceed to smash televisions with axes, fill the square's fountain with soap foam, and wash Brazilian flags. Finally, they distribute water balloons to the audience and appear, popping champagne, making obscene gestures and provocations, encouraging the audience to throw the balloons at them.
