Benutzer:Mfchris84/Sara Glaxia

Sara Glaxia (b. 1982, Mexico) lives and works in Salzburg, Vienna, Berlin and Los Angeles. She studied at Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and was private only pupil of artist Raymond Pettibon. Working with various media and forms her drawings, performances, installations and texts draw an exploration on the ordinariness of everyday life and its ritualised dimensions, the notions of radical subjectivity and the personal and public spheres of life. Her works are reminiscent of the fact of the social context of any artistic work and, on the other hand, document her glamorous outbreaks from it as well as her performative series of experiments of the continuous dismantling of social and economic barriers.

Werk

"In Sara Glaxia’s work, the relation between production of the “self” through photography and the problem of the “I’s” authenticity is defined throughly differently. These are her personal experiences that the artist hyperbolises and transcribes into the contest of performances “about her self” . Glaxia works mostly with her own image and the masquerade of being, while photography remains for her yet another area of operation that enables her to produce and distribute her own image. Documentation of Glaxia’s narrative and performances reveals the performative character of photography operating simultaneously as an independent medium, and as one associated with her performances."

"Sara Glaxia is one of the most versatile and multifaceted Mexican contemporary artists. Her virtue is to represent pain, madness, human anxiety without any preludes or explanations. She tends to use an expressive primitivism (at times playful, sometimes tormented) and allows things or happenings to proceed in a natural fashion. Her sensitivity and character allow her to pave the way for artistic events to express themselves. She is an artist full of life, one defying classification, having lived in various countries of the world. Her intuition, a rebellious nature and shrewdness when it comes to dealing with the body, objects, and her own obsessions grant her a character that's unpredictable, yet always faithful to her own creative temper. Her rebellion is genuine and her intent (whether conscious or not) takes her work to unpredictable extremes. Sara Glaxia is her own language and in such a way she adapts herself to dance, music, painting or performance so as to transform them, deform them, transform them into happenings and objects of a different world. She is an extraordinary artist, a risky outsider whose future is being built every day. Every action and work of Sara's is exhausting by itself (appearing/disappearing) and definitive; in her art, the center is the periphery and the rebel act."

- Guillermo Fadanelli

"Keine Linie, kein Strich, kein Punkt in Sara Glaxias Zeichnungen un Bildern, wenn auch gekonnt gesetzt, ist routiniert, nicht von dem zu Sehenden will schon gesehen worden sein, keines ihrer fantastischen Wesen schon entdeckt. Unsere ältesten und unbekanntesten Freunde und Freundinnen stellen sich uns in ihren Bildern vor. Und mit ihnen wird vertraut-ungewöhnliches vor der Künstlerin in eine Arena geworfen, welche sich der Welt dermassen öffnet, dass sich weitesten Ausdehnungen dieses Bühne irgendwann wieder treffen und schliessen müssen. Mit ein wenig Glück kann man dann als Betrachterin sein Plätzchen zwischen Tusche und Papier finden und gesehen, wie sich eine Schlange zärtlich um ein Männchen kümmert, das stur gegen seine Eingene Seele rennt…"

- Alexander Emanuely
