Documentary of Behavioural Currencies | Georgia Sagri as Georgia Sagri (still without being paid as an actress)

Year:

2016

In the parameters of her participation in M11 artist Georgia Sagri, treated the curatorial and organizational frame of Manifesta as a terrain of negotiations, regarding what the artists is "supposed to do", and what is "assumed to be doing". The artist situated an economy for her work equal to the rest of the participating artists as well as she negotiated and succeeded to split the filming crew which was imposed by the M11 to film her and her working process in two parts. The first part was not to allow filming for the publicity of the organization, but to use the crew only for the two days to film her video piece. While for the second part, the artist used the crew to film herself, negotiating with two of the employees of M11. By this tactic she turned the a priori "role" of the artist that the organization imposes, into an open query on her process being not only focused in matters of display and representation but also authorship and censorship.

The work was ultimately censored by M11 and the artist decided to present it together with three other works (related to the whole) as a solo exhibition at the Upstate an artists' run space in Zurich. The solo exhibition was under the same title as all of her work in M11, Documentary of Behavioral Currencies.
