Inspired by Stanley Milgram&#8217;s 1961 psychological experiments, the multi-year, multi-venue project confronts established sets of rules and cultivates the conditions for unscripted consequences. <i>THE PERILS OF OBEDIENCE<\/i> places a cast of performers within parameters both fictional and non-fictional, deploying materials from iconic movie scripts such as <i>Basic Instinct<\/i> and <i>A Streetcar Named Desire<\/i>, narratives from the actor\u2019s own lives, historical events and manifestos. While being filmed, four actors are directed toward the completion of a scene. Situated in conflict, the actors reveal inner desires and power dynamics impacting the group, blurring lines between reality and fiction. Throughout the process, audiences witness a performance and the making of a movie; this project explores the deconstruction of the film mechanism and engages film production as a performance.\u00a0Following three Performances on May 25, 28 and 29, which also will be video-recorded, the scripted environment of the set&#8211; for the first time&#8211; will become a site for an exhibition of multiple sculptural elements, revealing underlying structures, grammar, and processes that comprise the field of operations of this time-based project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Itziar Barrio is interested in the construction of reality and the line that is often blurred between fiction and nonfiction. Using signs and ubiquitous symbols, her work analyzes language as thought, and how symbols that help us navigate our day-to-day lives are also responsible for informing and constructing our realities. In this way, her work focuses on a general idea of representation and our choices regarding the mechanisms that offer that representation. Her interest not only lies in the story that upholds reality but in its recreations and techniques for showing or fictionalizing them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Barrio utilizes an array of diverse media including video, performance, and sculpture, to create a non-linear narrative through deconstructed elements that are mainly absorbed from the language of pop culture, cinema and mass media, and to explore the affects of power structures on desire and subjectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Itziar Barrio&#8217;s work has been presented internationally <\/span><span class=\"s2\">at<\/span><span class=\"s1\">: MACBA, Barcelona; Museum of Contemporary Art of Belgrade, Serbia; Salzburger Kunstverein, Austria; Abrons Arts Center, NYC; <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Espacio ODE\u00d3N<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia; tranzit, Romania; Galeria adhoc, Vigo, Spain; ARTIUM Museum, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain;\u00a0New Museum Festival of Ideas, NYC; Havana Biennial, Cuba; Storefront for Art and Architecture, NYC; acb Gallery, Budapest, Hungary; Pist, Istanbul, Turkey; Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland; Kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin; LOOP, Barcelona; and Galerie Thomas Henry Ross, Montreal, Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">She has received numerous awards including grants from the <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Brooklyn Arts Council, the Spanish Ministry of Culture, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, NYC, as well as the New York Foundation for the Arts Individual Artist Grant and\u00a0the First Prize Ertibil.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> She has participated in a number of residencies including the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, La Escuelita Nicaragua and The International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP).
