Romeo Gongora works on his installations, actions and performances in the environment in which he is currently living, collaborating with members of different social groups. Continual dialogue with those involved is characteristic of his cooperative working method; the participants collaborate until the final ‘product’ is complete, exercising a decisive influence on the outcome. Romeo Gongora’s most recent work, “Volkskunst- halle / People´s Art Space”, consists of two installations which change over the course of the exhibition period and a series of individual “demonstrations” (Romeo Gongora). They take place in the exhibition space, bring- ing together people who struggle for their personal freedom in various ways. Each demonstration leaves be- hind some material evidence in the exhibition, which develops into documentation of what has happened and modifies the exhibition over the course of time. “Volkskunsthalle / People’s Art Space” looks to examine the interrelations of suppression and dominance upon which a society and its morality are based; the production strategy employed includes improvisation, the unexpected and the non-existence of any ‘screenplay’. “Volkskunsthalle /People’s Art Space” was conceived during Gongora’s one-year stay at Künstlerhaus Bethanien and investigates or reacts to processes of transition and renewal in cities and societies, which the artist has spotted in the surrounding Kreuzberg area as well.
