TALKER is a self-published print project that explores approaches to performance-making through long-form interviews. Each issue focuses on an individual practitioner.
Issue #6 features a conversation with Spanish artist Dora García. For over 18 years García has worked with performance to deal critically with relationships between artworks, audiences, and places. Her projects are often developed in response to works by others and deploy performers as intermediaries in ambiguous roles as undercover agents, prophets, guides, or spies.
In this conversation, she traces the origins of her performance practice from a diverse creative community in Brussels in the early 2000s to the Happenings by Argentinian polymath Oscar Masotta.
