Hector Canonge
Argentinia / US Artist- Migration, Endurance, Cultural Memory, Gender
Hector Canonge’s creative work incorporates various forms of artistic expression: Performance Art, Experimental Dance, Butoh practice, and Socially Engaged Art to explore and treat issues related to constructions of identity, gender roles, and migration politics. Challenging the white box settings of a gallery or a museum, or intervening directly in public spaces, his performances mediate movement, endurance, and ritualistic processes. Some of his actions and carefully choreographed performances involve collaborating with other artists and interacting with audiences. His dance and performance art projects have been featured at Triskelion Arts, Green Space, Boston Center for the Arts, Movement Research at the Judson Church, La Guardia Performing Arts Center, Queens Museum, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, and La Mama among others. His performances, dance projects, and media installations have been presented and exhibited widely in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia. ”
