DORIAN Chavez: Je préfère un espace ouvert, le O en majuscule

Sibi-Bogdan Teodorescu : Est tu d'accord sur le fait que la peinture suppose un acte d'appropriation tandis que la danse travaille une dissolution du corps, malgré une physicalité affirmée ? Si oui, si non, par quels moyens ? Dorian Chavez : Oui, la peinture présuppose une tentative d’appropriation du réel, mais son désir plus profond, rarement atteint, est de faire corps avec ce qui est peint. Une pomme, quelques vases, deux trois figures totemiques arrivent à rendre visible ce que les yeux supportent à peine.  La danse travaille comme tu dis à une dissolution du corps, mais même on pourrait dire à une disparition de ce qui est organisé dans le corps, un écroulement organique, une débauche orgiaque.

To be honest , if is not so  essential for me. On one side, it is interesting to observe how my work is interpreted and at which context it is involved. On the other hand, the crucial thing is my activity at the studio. For me, the process is more important than it'

HERMES Luaces: Art is unavoidable.

  I accompanied Hermes Luaces for a couple of hours through the streets of Bucharest waiting his train to Tescani, Bacău , a residence for the artists. In 2008 he won the George Enescu Museum first prize for composition in the bigger frame of the International Enescu Festival . After a while we found each other again in Bucharest. Each time we talked, we shared beautiful, consistent thoughts. Some of his ideas never left me, but it's only now I manage to do this interview and resuming some of the discussed ideas.          Hermes Luaces, 2018, © Fundaci ó n BBVA Sibi-Bogdan Teodorescu: In his Secret life, Salvador Dali, arguably the author of an opera, describes how he attacked a young violinist with the simple reason to demonstrate painting was superior to music. If this were pertinent, what would be your opinion? Hermes Luaces: Well, Dalí was a great artist but also a great showman. It is difficult to know what he really pretended with that action. Regarding the underl
