Gender and art

"The Spanish artist Dora García’s conceptual works comprise texts, photographs, films, performances, and installations, frequently involving actors from the fields of performance or theater as well as members of the audience. Departing from an interest in challenging the boundaries between reality and representation, improvisation and staging, between artist, work, and audience, Dora García, in a manner reminiscent of a director, designs stories, scenarios, and situations which permit her to experiment, interfere with, and invert expectations. Fiction is deployed as a means of creating alternative models of reality, questioning and undermining the rules of the art world and the role that each of us takes within it. The results are ongoing processes of performative, site-specific ensembles which open up the exhibition space beyond merely static gestures."
