Brian Fuata
Brian Fuata works in performance through live and mediated forms. He employs various modes of presentation within the framework of structured-improvisation.
In Fuata’s works, the act of viewing is a reciprocating action between artist and audience and audience with each other. Fuata employs the ‘blank sheet’
as a recurring motif in his work, which transforms with different contexts into emails, paper, Word.Doc, google.doc, SMS text, concrete, film, and
in the case of his 20-minute ghost performances, a white bedsheet. Solo works include Care disfigurements (flowers), Art Central Hong Kong Art
Fair (2019); Placeholder, Enjoy Gallery, Christchurch (2016); A predictive/preparatory performance for a circuit of email and the living,
Performa Biennial, New York (2015); Untitled (ghost machinery refit/letting go of the sheet), Chisenhale Gallery, London (2015); Close to the knives (one to five) email performances, for Endless Circulation,
