| art.description.project | “Color Set” was a collective performance developed by The Skogen Koloristerna, a group of artists and colour, pigments, dyes and light enthusiasts that participated in the study group “Chromatic Materials and Hallucinations: Towards the Skogenkoloristerna” at the Skogen’s School.
The group formed by André Alves, Rachel Barron, Amanda Björk, Geraldine Juárez, Ulf Rönnerstrand, Lucy Wilson and Andreas Wittwer has remediated their colour research and experiments in the performance piece “Colour Set”.
“Color set” uses the structure of commercial color sets (containing different types of colors such as aquarelle, crayons, pastels and color pencils) as spatial framework to perform materials, histories, technologies, politics and poetics of color and its transformation into color management systems. “Color set” induce color experiences using chromatic materials and mixing them with different types of mediums such as video, voice, sound, painting and acting.
For “Color set” I’ve presented the performative text “Violet/ultra-violet,” a research on the power of non-perceptive forces, in this case, sensorial and biochemical, as a way to bring reflections about the capitalization of affect. | sv |
