Papers by Franz Manata
Time as a device
In "dialogue" with Clark, Deleuze, Duchamp, Espinosa, Long, Meireles, Vaz and Viveiros de Castro, I want to demonstrate that there is a lexicon operating in current art, transforming the notion of construction inherited from the Brazilian tradition, with concepts and particular apprehensions, which alters the social role of the artist and the very object of art by making time a device.
--
In this text, we tried to place the artist's speech in the foreground, organizing his thoughts chronologically and by subject groups, leaving out the superlatives and polemics that did not contribute to the understanding of his work, but those moments that indicate the character indomitable expression of its iconoclastic spirit. The final result is the result of an edition based on the interviews and writings published by Guilherme Vaz.
--
The text presents the meaning attributed to the word “art” by the duo Manata Laudares. Written in the form of a statement, the authors discuss: the social role of the artist, the object of art, its forms of circulation and transmission, in the era of the information economy. Fundamental concepts posed by artists since the mid-nineties are also addressed.
--
Essay on life, work and aesthetic issues, by the artist, musician and conductor, Guilherme Vaz, who experimented with different media and languages, and was at the center of the formation of conceptual and sound art in Brazil. One of the first multimedia artists to act from the mid-1960s onwards, in addition to being a pioneer of concrete music in Brazilian cinema.
--
Instigated by the challenge of thinking about the “role” of sound and image today, the author decides to approach it through the concept of action present in the work of the duo Manata Laudares, thus demonstrating that the questions that lead do not reside in the problem of representation or its crisis and, yes, in the displacements of artists around the world.
--
By investigating what happened to the four conditions for anything to be art - author, object, spectator and system - Manata traces an overview of his interests and presents the contemporary condition of being an artist, through a "dialogue" with Duchamp, Lygia , Hélio, Cildo and G. Brecht.
--
This text/manifesto/fiction defends action as a form of objective intervention in the world, based on a “dialogue” with S. Kierkegaard, G. Deleuze and H. Arendt. And it is also a work of art as a public intervention, which consists of editing and distributing a small booklet, numbered and signed, during actions, performances and residencies carried out by the duo Manata Laudares, since 2000.

Talks by Franz Manata
--
An interview, held on the balcony of the library at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage as part of the Arte Sonora project, is the starting point for the essay that addresses how the condition of women and generational issues impacted the production, the sound dimension and the notion of “unstructured time”, of this unique artist, Jocy de Oliveira.
--
This interview was carried out for Revista do PPAV-EBA-UFRJ Arte & Ensaios. The meeting was attended by artists José Bento, Renato Madureira, Franz Manata and Isaura Pena. The conversation was about life and work, and, here, we edited some aesthetic issues specific to his work, such as cutting, folding and displacement - fundamental operations that bring a potent contribution, by transforming the drawing into sculpture dissociated from mass and volume of tradition.
