Virus is a series of performance pieces and videoart works realized by LIUBA in various cities around the world, now presented all together here at Liupirogi e Pagiopa in Viserba, Rimini.
The conversation will inevitably be related to the current world situation
and that is why we hope that both viruses help us to rethink the future of art together.

“In the series called Virus, the artist is a sort of a living sculpture. Dressed in a black outfit with red dots, the notorious sold stickers, the artist went to art fairs and placed them under several works under the noses of upset gallerists and stunned visitors.
The sold dot is a universal sign that makes the difference. You judge a work in another way if it has been sold. Red dots mean money, power, and often fame.”
-Irina Zucca Alessandrelli
BIO
LIUBA is an italian artist working with performance art, videoart and site-specific and participative projects.
She lives now in Milan and Rimini, her two own cities. She has also lived in Bologna, New York and Berlin.
Her art work is concerned with social, anthropological, geographical, philosophical issues, human behavior, interactivity and chance.
Her practice consists of site specific actions that burst provocatively into daily life and of videoworks that assemble the performance, the reactions of the people and the identities of the places involved. Her research is based on the analysis of contemporary society, investigating contradictions and problems of the social system and of the art system.
