Pablo Alvez Artinprocess (UK/PT) is an installation and performance artist, a performance philosopher and an artist-researcher focusing on the interplay between performance and ethics, and also on methodology/transmission/pedagody in performance as research. He holds a PhD in poverty economics (2012) and he is a PhD candidate in Surrey University with a project exploring the relation between performance art and levinassian ethics. He has extensive experience in teaching at University level and in performance art training, having supervised several master degree theses. Having received training from Steven Cohen, he uses thinking as a strategy to stop thinking, often sabotaging his own performances so they remain art-in-process, precarious, unfinished, uncompromising, non-marketable and (partly) unsatisfying. When interacting with academia, Pablo insists on the necessary physical presence of bodies and objects, and he argues that, due to this, the performance artist in academia is somewhat of a bastard, uncompromising and even downright unwelcome at times. His performances “Phénoménologie de l’Éros” (2019), created at Point Éphémère (Paris) and further developed at Kanal- Centre Pompidou (Brussels), as well as “Scaffold of the Spectacle” (2022), developed at Estúdios Victor Córdon (Lisbon) and premiered in Helsinki, were awarded by the Gulbenkian Foundation. A member of Performance Studies International, he has contributed regularly to its Artistic Research Working Group. Pablo is also a member of the Live Art Society (Finland) and of PLATEIA (Portugal).
