Artist Lucia Pizzani (b. 1975 in Caracas, Venezuela) creates a new performance work for one night only at Magasin III Museum for Contemporary Art. Inspired by and responding to the works in the museum\u2019s ongoing exhibition, Solar Mountains & Broken Hearts<\/a><\/em> by Maya Attoun, the newly conceived performance joins sculptural, sound, and performative elements into one hybrid work for a live audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titled Lava<\/em>, Lucia Pizzani’s new performance work takes as its starting point the volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, the crucial inspiration even behind Attoun\u2019s body of work. Relating to ideas of rebirth, transformation, and regeneration, Lava<\/em> draws from black sand and movement, referencing the fertile soil resulting from a volcanic eruption and incorporates Pizzani\u2019s series of ceramic Cuaima<\/em> sculptures. Working furthermore with recordings from the Venezuelan sound archive Archivo Lares, Pizzani\u2019s performance sets her own works and those of Maya Attoun in a shared continuum, while adopting the timing of Attoun\u2019s video artwork Cry (Cybernetic Year)<\/em> (2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
