Social Sculpture, Mutated

Are social sculptures vulnerable to the crisis of truth and to the current lack of trust in institutions? Is social sculpture as subject to transformation as any other art form? Vivian Caccuri, Rio de Janeiro-based sound artist, has composed a sound piece for this episode that explores these questions in conversation with curators Jochen Volz and Thiago de Paula, philosopher Rodrigo Nunes and artist Cibelle. Combined with her own musical and sound compositions, Vivian Caccuri offers a dense take on the subject. Rodrigo Nunes is professor of modern and contemporary philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Brazil. He is the author of Organisation of the Organisationless: Collective Action After Networks and of numerous articles in publications such as Les Temps Modernes, Radical Philosophy, South Atlantic Quarterly, Jacobin, Al Jazeera and The Guardian. Cibelle (Cibelle Cavalli Bastos) is a Brazilian visual artist and musician based in London, Berlin and São Paulo. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in London, has released four music albums and has performed and presented work in venues such as Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin, Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, ICA London, and Carnegie Hall in New York. Thiago de Paula Souza (Taboão da Serra, SP), is a curator and researcher graduated in Social Sciences. He is currently a member of the curatorial team of the 3rd edition of Frestas – Sorocaba Arts Triennale, organized by SESC – SP. He participated in the Propositions for Non-Fascist-Living program, organized by BAK in Utrecht, where he curated Tony Cokes: To Live as Equals.
