DOG DEALER - MACACO PRESS bootlegged by LEGROOM, October 2017
MACACO's publishing performance # 15 'DOG DEALER' bootlegged by LEGROOM, part of the Unofficial The Manchester Contemporary Performance Programme.
Friday 27 - sunday 29th, October 2017, outside Manchester Central.
"MACACO PRESS is a collective project, created in March 2015 by two artists: Sabrina Fernández Casas (1988) and Patricio Gil Flood (1977). MACACO PRESS plays with notions of authorship based on strategies of visibility and invisibility, legal and illegal productions, as a vindication of a multiple and mobile way to create, in a social context limited by economic forces. Exploring the relation between selfpublishing and performance, we collaborate with other artists and associations, in order to develop ideas of metapublishing, translating, infiltrating and pirating.
We conceive this project as a material which is not something fixed but which is constant evolution and changing, difficult to define as only one thing:
sometimes MACACO are illegal workers
sometimes MACACO are foreigners
sometimes MACACO are ephemeral performances
sometimes MACACO are printed matter
sometimes MACACO is a dog dealer
sometimes MACACO is other artist
sometimes MACACO are flags
sometimes MACACO is exchange
sometimes MACACO is infiltration
sometimes MACACO is a selfie
sometimes MACACO is multiple
sometimes MACACO is an association
sometimes MACACO are teachers
sometimes MACACO is a political statement
sometimes MACACO is a deviant practice
sometimes MACACO is a joke
sometimes MACACO is art
sometimes MACACO is something else…
Sometimes MACACO is a vindication of a multiple and mobile way to create, in a social context limited by economic forces."
