Camel Collective

Descripción del Artista

Anthony Graves (South Bend, Indiana, 1975) and Carla Herrera-Prats (Ciudad de México, 1973) have worked as Camel Collective since 2005. They use performance and scenography—combining sculpture, photography, painting, and video—to create gallery installations that describe contemporary labor, power, and production. Their projects are largely informed by the works and methods of Bertolt Brecht and the social portraiture of the Weimar avant-garde. Camel draws on narrative theater and dramaturgy, combining them with research into marginal histories, critical pedagogy, and entertainment. These cross-disciplinary works involve collaboration from among a variety of participants. The collective writes theatricalized scenarios into exhibitions for the productive frictions generated when genres cross—discourse becomes a chorus, documents become a strike, a political impasse becomes an occasion for painting. Camel’s exhibitions and performances include The Second World Congress of Free Artists at Casa del Lago, Mexico City (2013), Una Obra Para Dos Pinturas at the Trienal Poli/Gráfica de San Juan (2012), A Facility Based on Change at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, MassMoCA (2011), and Howls for Bologna at Overgaden Institut for Samtidskunst (2010). Camel has also exhibited works at Artist's Space, Art in General, Exit Art, and the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros, Mexico City. Camel Collective formed in 2005 as a research group on aesthetics and collectivity that included Sarina Basta, Michael Bears, Benj Gerdes, Melanie Gilligan, Lasse Lau, Jacqueline Miro, Robert Ochshorn, and Graham Parker.
