  • Bio:

    Larry Caveney’s Statement of Social Interventional Performances: It’s important to me that my work communicate on different levels as I want my work to be accessible to the general public. I want to create situations that will take them out of the state of isolation and bring them into a space of time that causes certain forgotten actions or freedoms that have been suppressed by socialization to emerge.

    Felix Guattari states: "Just as I think it is illusory to aim at a step—by-step transformation of society, so I think that microscopic attempts, of the community and neighborhood committee type, the organization of day-nurseries in the faculty, and the like, play an absolutely crucial role."

    The action of redefining form and finding spaces to interact within can give the artist an important role in the community and help to reform social consciousness by revealing different areas of social alienation. To reveal social isolation is the first step. Recognition of specific situations that provoke social isolation addressed by these different artists is the beginning of a new site-specific work. The idea of social interaction moves the artist out of their studio and into an interactive form of expression.

    The aesthetic of this interactive art form is the redirection of a symbol or ideology used in society by the ability to showcase a certain situation in a different context and perhaps define areas of social isolation. This aesthetic is defined as a means of making something better, or the action or interaction of creating a better living space...Or perhaps to rupture that point of social isolation.
