Tomaz Hipolito produces research-driven work in multiple media, in which his primary conceptual concern is absence. While the conceptual framework of HxDxWxTx2 undercuts the traditional exhibition practice of selecting complete, autonomously created work, Hipolito pushes this concept further in CENSURA. What is at play are notions of chronological time, its relationship to comprehensible space, and hierarchies of influence in a combination of text, video and performance. Paralleling the liminal quality of the window space, CENSURA is an exercise in the age-old dichotomy between object and objectified in the context of art, as manifest in the urgent dialogs of boundaries of autonomy and engagement. Here, Hipolito’s characteristic investigation reveals and confounds curatorial agency and collaboration with ACE curator, Sophia Marisa Lucas.

For those who enjoyed CENSURA, Tomaz Hipolito, will be doing a video screening and performance in Union Square, organized by Arte Institute.
