La sociedad de consumo ha penetrado en nuestra forma de ser, de estar y de relacionarnos con nuestros cuerpos, propios y ajenos. ¿Acaso este sistema ha modificado la vinculación que poseemos con nuestro propio cuerpo? ¿Qué papel ha asumido el cuerpo en los últimos tiempos? ¿Cómo observamos e interactuamos con los otros cuerpos?
Estas son algunas de las preguntas que plantea Cuerpos en Observación, una pieza performativa que tiene como fin aunar dos disciplinas a priori inconexas: el arte y la investigación psicosociológica; con el objetivo de conformar una performance en directo sobre el seno del estudio de la interacción entre la audiencia y el cuerpo del artista.
Este proyecto artístico/científico ha sido creado a través de la colaboración entre Miguel Andrés, performer y artista visual, y Elena Vázquez Gomis, psicóloga del Máster de Psicología Social de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, con el propósito de trasladar la investigación sociológica de la academia al espacio artístico para que pueda llegar al gran público.
Con esta performance/estudio exploraremos las formas de interacción con el desnudo para descubrir el lugar que ocupa el cuerpo en el contexto actual. Para llevar a cabo esta acción performativa precisamos de la inestimable participación del público, cuyo papel es imprescindible para la construcción de la obra.
Buscamos a personas interesadas en vivir en primera persona la experiencia de la corporeidad, ofreciendo una vivencia única al espectador al invitarle a formar parte de manera activa en esta performance/estudio sociológico.
Te esperamos el sábado 26 de marzo de 17h a 21h en el CC Las Cigarreras, calle San Carlos, 78, Alicante.
GRATUITO. Entrada libre sin inscripción. Entrada libre prioritaria con reserva horaria en https://miguelandres.com/cuerposenobservacion/

The other pandemic has been going on for 40 years, has infected 78 million people and claimed 39 million lives. We no longer talk about the other pandemic, there is only a distorted memory of the 90s.
The other pandemic, that of HIV, continues to kill people in developing countries, even though there is an effective battery of drugs that controls the disease. In developed countries, those infected do not die, they lead “normal” lives, but invisible.

Action to denounce the homophobic attacks that are increasingly occurring in Spain.

Our obsession with time has been known for centuries. Time is measured, fractioned and standardized to synchronize humanity. Gadgets of all kinds have arisen to carry out this task. From the rudimentary sundial to the atomic pointer clock, through sand, rope and quartz.

El artículo 56.3 de la Constitución española dicta que “La persona del Rey es inviolable y no está sujeta a responsabilidad”. Este hecho hace que el principio básico de igualdad de toda democracia se vaya al traste.

Parece que vivimos tiempos oscuros para la libertad de expresión. La religión, la monarquía, el terrorismo, la política, la desnudez, la mujer y el menor, son sólo algunos de los temas sensibles en este ámbito, pero no todos.

Islamophobia is one of the main drivers of radicalisation in young Westerners of Muslim origin. The exclusion and stigmatization of this group in Western countries generates individuals vulnerable to the promises of an Islamic caliphate.

Every boat that comes ashore off the European coast, every group of displaced people looking for a safe place to live is an echo of a conflict that is still raging and in which all international laws on political asylum are being violated. The echoes from Syria.

We live in a society that censors the body as if it were illegal. A cultural burden that we carry with us from Judeo-Christian origins and that considers the body as something sinful.

(The objectification of the bodies) Sexual objectification takes place when the person is attributed to the condition of sexual object. Dissociating the sexual sexes and the physical beauty of the rest of the personality and existence as an individual.

It is incredible the impact of social networking on today’s society. We are currently carrying, virtually, all of humanity in our pocket. Without reaching this extreme, we are connected to hundreds of people 24/7, every day of the year. Without being able to be with ourselves: to think.

Five hundred years before Christ was built the Via Salaria, a causeway that ran from the salt flats of the city of Ostia to Castrum Truentinum. Soldiers who took care of the road received part of the salary. This one was called Salarium Argentum, that is, salt money.

The mystical powers of Priapus, God of fertility in ancient Greece, have been overwhelmed. As an ancient ceremony, the fertility that emanates from his entrails elevated the level of world population to an extreme not yet seen until this moment.

We all have opinions on everything. Each have their own speeches, some more correct than others. So each to their own mental jerk offs.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is being systematically cut, article by article. From the institutions that are supposed to watch over it, whether by action or omission.

From all fronts we receive inputs, opinions and sentences of what we can do and what we can’t do. This constant denial makes us easy prey of discouragement and we end up internalizing our inabilities. But what if we were able to persist in our attempts and say no to no?

The public display of a naked body can be titled Exhibitionism, even though everything depends on the degree to which it is granted.

The world always was characterized by differences between North and South, being the last poor countries. In a Europe without borders an imaginary line is drawn with a pencil called GDP, the EUROFRONTERA (Euroborder).

Every system requires a set of established basis that supports it and prevents its collapse. Definitely the socioeconomic system that shelters humans is not exempt from these rules.

Religion constitutes an anachronism in a society that considers itself scientifically and socially advanced. Myths and legends that form the scriptures contradict all scientific literature and nowadays’ knowledge.

Power needs an ally to perpetuate itself. From Royal Guard until modern police of today, they always had been to service of power.
