Many thanks to the artist Dudu Quintanilha for his lecture BETWEEN CONCEPTS AND BODIES: Performing Life and discussing the works of our participants within the Studio Program at BAI | Berlin Artist Residency, Art School, Arts Incubator, and Live Online Courses & Classes.
“In this lecture, artist Dudu Quintanilha will share recent projects that move between individual and collective processes. The focus will be on how concepts and questions not only guide artistic practices but also affect lived experience, opening spaces for embodied research and shared imagination. As a closing gesture, the audience will be invited to take part in a participatory proposition by Lygia Clark.” (Text by courtesy of Dudu Quintanilha)
Dudu Quintanilha (Bauru, 1987) is a Brazilian-Argentinean artist based in Berlin. His work unfolds between performance, video, photography, and collaborative processes, tracing intersections of lived experience, imagination, and contemporary art. Many of his projects emerge through collaboration, conceptual exploration, and embodied research, often engaging with intimacy, collectivity, and the political dimension of the body. Recent projects include Unstable Group (2024), developed with a choir in Frankfurt; Erotics in Participation (2024), commissioned by IMAI and developed with Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus; the mentoring of the residency Lagar in Portugal (2024) and the performance Sun of Tomorrow at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin (2025)
