Spit, Drink and Cry - Tactile Hydroponics is an exhibition that brings together the most recent works produced at Rosana Antolí’s studio through several years of research around movement and the aqueous as a state-of-mind.

Spit, Drink and Cry is the first solo show by Rosana Antolí in Portugal. The exhibition presents an ecosystem of different artworks that move across drawing, painting, sculpture and video, continuously embracing a performative methodology within it. Altogether, it conforms a fictional narrative between sculptural and performative objects and the human body (digital or present) in endless motion.

Lehmann + Silva is metamorphosed into a liquid atmosphere. A hybrid circuit where all the artworks perform continued indoor choreographies, either transformation through motion or a pause for tension. The relationship between water, as a connector and catalyser of movements, and the bodies of work is a central motif in Antolí’s artistic practice. Derived from feminist writings by philosophers such as Luce Irigaray and Astrida Neimanis her work reflects on aspects such as fluid landscapes and interdependent bodies, referring to a choreographed relation between audience and objects with water as a connecting symbol.

The show brings the recent body of work commissioned by CentroCentro Madrid (Spain), Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona (Spain), and Tate Modern in London (UK). And includes three new works that represent her on-going research on ecology, tidalectics, watery bodies, and their relation with art and choreography.
