"Sangría" is an inedit performance where the artist, Érika Ordosgoitti, creates a live image through the extraction of her blood. "Freedom is my commitment to life. It is the most important value that moves me. I walk towards freedom knowing that absolute value does not exist and will never be achieved. My actions are free, it is only through them that I can achieve my own freedom. Freedom does not exist, there are only free actions from people that can eventually become free. There is an instant of absolute freedom. This is the artistic event: the performance. That microsecond and then the delicate consequences that erupt from reality. A simple gesture, small, yet doubtful, can transform everything. Reality can be delicate and terrible at the same time." Erika Ordosgoitti (1980) lives and works between Caracas and Bogota. She has a degree in Fine Arts Mixed Media Mention from Armando Reveron Higher Education School of Fine Arts in Caracas (IUESAPAR). Currently she develops her thesis "The Ontological Status of Art" for the degree of Master of Arts Pedagogical University Experimental Libertador (UPEL). She has been granted several awards including: Young Artist Award, MISOL Foundation for the Arts, Bogota (2014); First Honorable Mention, Salón SuperCable de Jóvenes con fia, Caracas (2011); Honorable mention, 34 Salón Nacional de Arte Aragua, Maracay (2009); University Award, First National Exhibition of Art University, Caracas (2009). Her work has been exhibited at Museum of Contemporary Art Caracas, Museum of Contemporary Art of Bogota, and in many private galleries. She is co-producer and co-curator of the International Biennial of Performance of Caracas, CEO of P3 Platform Performance Art and director of El Avispero Artist Residency in Venezuela.
