Canadian artist Michele Di Menna draws on various elements of dance, music and acting in her work. In her installations or performances (in which she basically appears as the protagonist) elements of collage can be found as well as those from poetry or striptease. Her collages develop from her performances and spatial arrangements, but can also function as their templates. In this way, everything is combined with everything else across the various media to form a glimmering overall picture. What her works also have in common is the celebration of the amateurish, which always gives something charmingly spontaneous and open to what is thoughtfully planned and consciously undermines conventional expectations of art.
For GAK, Michele Di Menna has created five collages that play through a fundamental theme of her entire approach in a variety of ways: The stage-managed body or object in space.
