 British performance artists, Victoria Moralee takes up residence at Mixer’s ArtLab between 3rd – 28th December!

ArtLab is Mixer’s key initiative helping further solidify its relationship with international and local artists. Taking an otherwise routine, unseen aspect of an artist’s production period and ‘exhibits’ this to a rotating, live audience in Mixer’s open studio space (ArtLab), offering the audience an opportunity to interact with our guest artist, and vice-versa.  Mixer is pleased to welcome its fifth ArtLab International guest artist, Victoria Moralee.

Victoria will be resident in Mixer’s ArtLab from 3rd - 28th December and will be sharing her performance and photography video work with an Istanbul audience.  As part of her time at ArtLab, Victoria plans to hold a formal artist talk on the 14th of December, in the second week of her arrival. She will be performing throughout her residency but will keep an online presence/blog of these happenings, giving a days notice, or sometimes only hours. The remnants of these performances will be left by the artist for those who miss anything live, however documents (whether photographic or written) will be hung at her ‘open studio’ at Mixer.

Additionally, whilst Victoria is in Istanbul she will conduct site specific performances on the 27th and 28th of December, using the urban landscape and found objects, which will be documented in large format and with a 35mm camera and the processed photographs, will be returned to the sites and will sit amongst the remnants of the performance. The performances Moralee plans to create all celebrate the personality and the spectacular character of the city.  ‘A simultaneous performance on the 19th of December will also be performed with Max Dovey (Rotterdam) and Emma Dixon (London) in 3 separate galleries in England, the Netherlands, and I will be performing in Mixer’.

Upon graduating from London’s Wimbledon College of Arts in 2012, Moralee went on to work part time at a foundation for mentally disabled children. Later, in order to experiment with her audience’s relations Victoria took part in IPA’s (International Performance Art Platform) summer school where she held various performances in the public domain. In order to maximise her experiments with her audience’s reactions, her work consisted of both repulsive aspects with a nod to some theatrical components.
