This Thursday, October 8th Rupert presents a solo Projects Space Exhibition by the Spanish performance, video and multimedia artist Dora García.

Dora García conceives this project as a succession of chapters in the form of scripted pieces, situations and performances. Her proposal is an accumulative performance-in-progress and partial selection of recent works that resist adding up to an orthodox exhibition.

All the situations included here involve, be it passively or physically, the viewer. Taking as starting point the limits between the notion of reality and representation, Dora García assumes the role of a mise-en-scène director, offering to the audience different situations, endless stories and readings, guided tours outside the exhibition’s space, and above all else playing with the preconceived notion of artistic production and its political role in the current moment.

Dora García (b. 1965, Valladolid, Spain) lives and works in Barcelona. She has recently been appointed as a head of the Performance department at HEAD – Genève. She has taken part in numerous important exhibitions of Contemporary Art since the 1990s. In 2011 she represented Spain at the 54th Venice Biennale, where she developed a project L’inadeguato (The Inadequate). In 2012 García participated in dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel. Her most recent high-profile project is the film The Joycean Society (2013), presented during the 55th Venice Biennale.

The Jerusalem of Europe opens on 8 October and will run through December 13, 2013.

The project is curated by Juan de Nieves and Justė Jonutytė
