NOTES FFROM A PERFORMATIVE INVESTIGATION by Marco Baravalle on ARCH+

from Art for UBI (Manifesto) a militant research on the conditions of cultural work in Venice
BIENNALOCENE is a performative inquiry into the conditions of cultural work in Venice. The play was written starting from a series of interviews with a group of workers in the Venetian cultural industries. The interviewees themselves will stage their considerations on professional and existential precariousness, housing, income and the future of the lagoon city to the test of global warming.
The performance takes its cue from Art For UBI, a project by the Institute of Radical Imagination which started in 2021 with the collective writing of a manifesto in which the art world takes a position in favor of universal basic income and which resulted in the publication of the book “Art For UBI (Manifesto)”, (Bruno, 2021).
da Art for UBI (Manifesto) una ricerca militante sulle condizioni del lavoro culturale a Venezia
BIENNALOCENE è una ricerca militante sulle condizioni del lavoro culturale a Venezia e sull’ecosistema Biennale, grande evento che mobilita centinaia di lavoratori e lavoratrici ogni anno. A partire dalle interviste effettuate ad un gruppo diversificato di questi lavoratori e queste lavoratrici (precari, stagionali, freelancers, artisti, mediatori, tecnici, addetti alle pulizie e non solo) emerge una drammaturgia che da vita ad un’assemblea performativa animata dagli stessi intervistati e messa in scena nello spazio pubblico.
La performance prende spunto da Art For UBI, progetto dell’Institute of Radical Imagination iniziato nel 2021 con la scrittura collettiva di un manifesto in cui il mondo dell’arte prende posizione a favore del reddito di cittadinanza universale e che ha portato alla pubblicazione di il libro “Art For UBI (Manifesto)”, (Bruno, 2021).
