Obra
"Este lugar no es para todes" (This place is not for everyone). We point out the places we are unable to access, thereby attempting to generate reflection and action with regard to accessibility. Dual format piece: 5 x 1.6m fabric banner and DIN A4 and DIN A3 sized posters.
Staircase posters: The fabric banner format was developed as a response to an inaccessible exhibition space: the staircase. At the same time, the message on the banner extends beyond this space and, as such, despite the full stop at the end, the sentence remains open and is an invitation to reflect: Which space? Who is everyone?
The banner aims to highlight the ableism that excludes us from such spaces, using the colours of the disability pride flag: a black background; yellow, red, green and blue around the seams, with lettering in yellow and white.
The banner is 5m long by 1.6m wide. The banner is made up of three overlapping sheets of cotton sewn together; one white sheet between to outer black ones. The text is painted in acrylic spray paint, white on one side and neon yellow on the other.
Most of the seams are machine-sewn, with a small section at the ends of the red and blue zigzag stripe featuring a handsewn seam created using chain stitch.
Small format posters: Continuation of the work that extends throughout the exhibition, featuring two different texts in white lettering on a black background: ''This place is not for everyone'' and ''This work is not for everyone''. The posters are printed on DIN A4 or DIN A3 size paper depending on the space and the work to which it relates. The font is the same as that used on the banners and has been manually created specifically for this work.
Authors: Tatiana Antoni Conesa is part of Hogar Diska, a site-specific creation collective for Dozing on the accidental provocation.
HOGAR DISKA was formed through a call to a telegram support group of queer people with chronic pain (50 participants). That call was made by Consol Llupià García and answered by: Tatiana Antoni Conesa, Silvia M. Limiñana, Eva Iovine and Usu. We generated a group of five people that has taken this form: a core group of two, Tatiana and Consol, and three itinerant branches with more occasional participation: Silvia, Eva and Usu. Contributing in different ways, following and creating the process and the proposals, reading, etc.
“The collectivisation through the call has made our participation possible, hacking the capacitative times of production (also artistic) that are so accelerated and excluding. Creating connections that have broken the atomisation of our society and have made it possible for a group of suffering discas to accompany each other and create together”.
Tatiana Antoni Conesa (Barcelona, 1985). “My artistic practice is fundamentally based on the intervention and creation of images and texts. Seeking to point out systemic violence and claiming one's own point of view as disca, autistic, non-binary and grieving.
“I do individual and group accompaniment with a multidisciplinary perspective that includes the systemic, the body and art. And I participate in various support groups and collective anti-disability care".
