Ricardo Domeneck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ricardo Domeneck, Brazilian artist, born July 4, 1977, in São Paulo, whose work ranges from writing to the spoken word in performance readings and video art. Influenced by Vito Acconci, who began his career as a poet and later blurred the borders of genres in his work, Domeneck moved towards video and performance after publishing first books. Worked with actors and dancers in the techniques assembled by the Brazilian choreographer Klauss Vianna, and such corporeal experience would also become important in his later development. Active in different media, has performed in festivals of South America and Europe, such as the Latinale. Co-founder of Kute Bash, a collective based in Berlin, which organizes weekly performances and live acts, with artists and musicians such as Kevin Blechdom, Hanayo, Mount Sims, Angie Reed, Tara De Long, Mark Boombastik, among others, defending the concept of no distinctions between curatorial work and creative production, Domeneck has taken on the motto of the "death of the artist, after Duchamp, and the rise of the cultural interventionist." The collective is also responsible for Kute Bash Books and the independent label Kute Bash Records, which has released the multimedia duo Tetine. Domeneck is one of the editors of the online magazine Hilda with Oliver Roberts, and worked as content manager for the magazine Flasher at its inception, being responsible for some of its early material, interviewing artists Janine Rostron aka Planningtorock, Bruce LaBruce, Walter Pfeiffer, Chris Corner aka IAMX, among others. Ricardo Domeneck has been translated into Spanish and German and included in the anthologies Cuatro Poetas Recientes del Brasil (Buenos Aires: Black & Vermelho, 2006) and Überland und Leuchtende Städte - 12 Dichterinnen und Dichter aus Lateinamerika (Berlin: SuKulTur, 2006). In video, his interventions spawn from club walls to the Brazilian public television. In both writing and video, concentrates on his own body as fixed set of materials. Lives and works in Berlin.
