It's all about Performance Art and the possibilities of presence where Hector Canoge talks through his experience. Also, this conversation is trying to make a bridge to the Performance art in general through Hector’s performative practices. We know due to Covid-19 there were lots of critical question come to the physical presence and Body. We try to address the presence in the live situation. There was the question of improvising/improvisation, and the idea of installation in performance art related to the materials used, etc.

Hector Canonge is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and cultural producer based in New York City. His work incorporates various forms of artistic expression: Performance Art, Dance, Multimedia Production, Installation, and Social Practice to explore and treat issues related to constructions of identity, gender roles, and the politics of migration. Challenging the white box settings of a gallery or a museum, or intervening directly in public spaces, his performances mediate movement, endurance, and ritualistic processes. Some of his actions and carefully choreographed performances involve collaborating with other artists and interacting with audiences. His performance art projects, films, and media installations have been presented and exhibited in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
