Marcia Beatriz
Granero

Marcia Beatriz Granero is a Brazilian artist, independent producer and graduate of Belas Artes de São Paulo. Her projects explore the creation of a character, Jaque Jolene, recorded in videos and photographs. Jaque is the centre of the work, a fictional autobiographical entity who from time to time inhabits Márcia Beatriz Granero's body. The artist collaborates with her creation in performative actions as they visit historic buildings where cultural institutions are established. These performances result in videos, photographs, and installations. In them, cinematic language is explored not in order to undermine the fallacies of cinematic constructions but as a device for investigation and presentation of their surroundings. The videos have been screened and exhibited at over fifty cultural spaces and Festivals, such as: Videolands" (MOMus-State Museum of Contemporary Art, Greece), Ibrida Festival delle arti intermediali (Italy), Xóm Bắc Cầu - CosmiX Screening Night (Vietnam), 305 & Havana International Improv Fest (Miami and Cuba), Sharjah Art Foundation (United Arab Emirates), The Latino Video Art Festival of New York, Fonlad Internacional Videoart and Performance Festival (Portugal), The Latino Video Art Festival of New York, Simultan Festival (Romania), Bideodromo Festival Internacional de Cine y Video Experimental (Spain), Oslo Screen International Video Art Festival (Norway), Fiva Festival Internacional de Videoarte (Argentina), International Video Festival Videomedeja,...
