Joana Bastos

My work resides in the process of its making rather than in what it makes. I am also concerned with the ways in which art can embody inter-subjective encounters-how it can emerge from exchanges between people.

My proposal is based on the interaction between public/private. Notice Board will subvert these interactions by presenting messages, texts, and images from characters that I will invent. These 40 characters will be profiled on posters, which will include ten removable stickers that detail their 'personal' information (name, phone number, email address, etc.). As a psychological experiment, this participatory piece will investigate various kinds of social interaction.
