Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda

This interview took place during the Biennial Interactiva’07 in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, on June of 2007


 

about:

InteractivA'07 took place from June 14 to July 31 at the Centro Cultural de Mérida Olimpo, and related cultural spaces in Yucatan, Mexico. In words of the Director Raul Moarquech Ferrera-Balanquet: "The Biennale is an interdisciplinary laboratory that employs an alternative vision of art. How is it made? Through collaboration and thanks to the working team and the "Interactivos" (the participants). I couldn't define anything, I don't consider myself an authority, but a curator with a vision closer to the production of a proposal like a work of art; a vision that consider the economic reality of artistic production in the region where I live; and, one that tries to create communities of exchange to enrich our social process of apprenticeship and development. As you see, the definitions of traditional exposition say other things."
