PANGEA ART REPUBLIC

WHERE THE MYSTIFARIANS LIVE

Pangea Art Republic is a transcultural nomadic Art Republic with offices in NYC and El Yunque rainforest of Puerto Rico. P.A.R. is diaspora territory where everyone is welcome.  Without a center or margins, it is a continuous, mutable space that constantly being re-defined, and only explained with art events and poetic ceremonies.  It offers a nomadic mind space that manifests cultures’ contradictions by decoding the transmutations of their meanings.

P.A.R. is headed by Papo Colo.  Colo is a multi-dimensional artist who's work includes performance, theater and installation artist, painter, writer, and graphic designer. In 1982 he co-founded Exit Art, an internationally known cultural center in New York. He has been curator and cultural producer of Exit Art and has organized over 100 shows in which he was also the exhibition and graphic designer. In 1992 he founded the Trickster Theater to expand his experiments as an inter-disciplinary artist.

EVERY SOUL IS A PERFORMANCE

April 25, 2018 by Francisco Colon

Every Soul is a Performance marks the opening of Casa Teatro, the loft on Canal Street that has been Colo’s home and studio since 1972 and the place where Exit Art - his groundbreaking alternative art space - was conceived.

Colo will begin “Every Soul is a Performance,” as a way of reclaiming the economic and aesthetic autonomy of the artist.  In making the loft public, Colo is once again lighting the candle of the avant-garde in downtown Manhattan, in an interplay of performance, visual art and ceremonial self-discovery.

Guests will have to find Casa Teatro by following a series of clues, leading them to find the artist in his home.  They will meet several characters along the way and so the audience will become part of the performative experience.  Colo, performers and the audience will share stories, art and Ron del Barillito and the piece will conclude when Colo creates a portrait of each guest which will serve as a record of their aura and the history of their soul. 

The cost of participation is $100. To participate, please email mayapir@gmail.com
