Walking Through Walls
Wellington 2014
Didier Morelli
The artist attempts to walk through the walls of the container. The interactive endurance-based project focuses on the generative power of walking through walls as a site of activity for exchange, dialogue, and repetitive movement that produce friction, momentum and energy for dialogue, action and debate within a contained physical space.
Morelli combines practice and research. His live art includes endurance based actions and contextually specific interaction. His studio work includes drawing, collage, photography and video for solo exhibitions (notably at the Katherine Mulherin Gallery, Toronto) as well as group exhibitions (the Audain Gallery in Vancouver and at Civic Space, Windsor). He was part of a group work at Tucson Museum of Art in 2013 and in the 2011 edition of Nuit Blanche at Whippersnapper Gallery in Toronto. Morelli has presented papers at conferences: Running With Concepts, University of Toronto; UBC Graduate Symposium in Vancouver; and PSi #19 at Stanford University in California. He completed 3 residencies during 2013: at University of Windsor, Ontario; in Tucson, Arizona (as part of a desert performance project), and at the Nes Artist Residency in Skagaströnd, Iceland.
