Pretending to Say: Provocation

by Sandra Ceballos Obaya and Coco Fusco

TDR: The Drama Review, 2010, v. 54, no. 3, pp. 2-3

In this article by Sandra Ceballos Obaya, translated from Spanish by Coco Fusco, the author describes the work at the Espacio Aglutinador (Agglutination Laboratory). Obaya founded the laboratory in Havana, Cuba. One of the projects is the Audiovisual Tournament, with minute-long videos for consideration, and other competitive events including racketball and cell-phone video game tournaments. The event is meant to critique methods used to judge art, and the particular Cuban tendency to judge art through competitions and awards.
