Invention, politics and affections: an essay on the work of Gui Teixeira and its relations with playing
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Many of Gui Teixeira's works present themselves as games or toys – and are particularly engaging for children. As if they were made for them. Or for the childhood that resists in each one. These proposals take the form of interactive objects, installations, interventions, exhibitions in process and also workshops. Works such as Social Board (2010), a collective circular skateboard, Parede Suprematista (2011), a climbing wall that is also a pictorial installation, and the so-called Splashcletas (2016), with which people paint while cycling, are some examples. In all of them, the body is called to action, to become involved emotionally, playfully and attentively. These are invitations to imagine and experience, often collaboratively, possibilities of placing oneself in the world in which invention, politics and affections are experienced through challenges, risks, choices, constructions and propositions.
