On 10 January, at 6pm, the third and final event in the performative lecture series Bodymerge<\/em> will take place at SODAS 2123 (Vitebsko St 23, Vilnius). During the event, Portuguese artist Diana Policarpo and Lithuanian artist Gediminas \u017dygus will present their practice in the form of a kaleidoscopic lecture and a listening session. The Bodymerge<\/em> series attempts to test the boundaries of the artist talk genre and push the format into a still somewhat hazy\u2014but hopefully fruitful\u2014terrain between lecture and performance. The series is curated by LIAA member Neringa \u010cerniauskait\u0117.<\/p>\n

Diana Policarpo\u2019s work reveals a profound and complex investigation of the different relationships between feminism, health, and magic. Through storytelling varying from sci-fi to archival imagery, the performative lecture will explore ideas and experiences of violence enacted against people with uteruses and non-human bodies in the backdrop of capitalist dispossession. Invoking texts and notes from a selection of her works, Policarpo will present stories about the seizure of land and the speed of extinction, at the same time weaving magical, mystical and animist practices into a narrative of healing and economic progress.<\/p>\n

Gediminas \u017dygus\u2019 performative lecture will present an exploration of the role of synthetic media in the reshaping of the future of corporate identity. The lecture will look into forms of how corporate entities shall communicate themselves when AI-assisted forms of audio and video content production tools become commonplace.<\/p>\n

Diana Policarpo is a visual artist and composer who works between London and Lisbon. Through speculative transdisciplinary research, she investigates gender politics, economic structures, health, and interspecies relations. Policarpo\u2019s performances and installations examine experiences of vulnerability and empowerment associated with acts of exposing oneself to the capitalist world.<\/p>\n

Policarpo\u2019s work has been exhibited around the world, including solo presentations at Kunsthal Aarhus (upcoming); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; Ocean Space, Venice; RADIUS, Delft; CRAC, S\u00e8te; Kunsthall Trondheim; Galeria Municipal do Porto; Galeria Lehmann + Silva, Porto; GNRtion, Braga; Kunstverein Leipzig; and Kunsthall Baden-Baden, among other institutions. Policarpo has recently exhibited, performed and screened her work at Serralves Museum, Porto; Maus H\u00e1bitos, Porto; Galeria Francisco Fino, Lisbon; Museu de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea de Elvas (MACE); Chiado 8, Lisbon; Mars Gallery, Melbourne; Peninsula Gallery, New York; W139, Amsterdam; Kunsthall Oslo; LUX-Moving IMage, ICA, Tenderpixel Gallery and Cafe OTO, London. Policarpo was the winner of the Pr\u00e9mio Novos Artistas Funda\u00e7\u00e3o EDP 2019 and the illy Present Future Prize 2021.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Gediminas \u017dygus is a Lithuanian artist working with sound, film and performance.
