Amanda Gatti is a Brazilian-born artist and researcher based between London and Madrid. Through performance, video, photography & installation as the main mediums she develops transdisciplinary practices related to the potentialities of in-between space(s). Her works were presented in galleries/museums, non-conventional and public spaces in Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. 

 

Currently undertaking a MA in Performing Arts and Visual Culture at Reina Sofía Museum, in Madrid/Spain. She holds a BA in Audiovisual Production from PUCRS (Brazil) with an exchange in Art History from UJA (Spain) with the support of a scholarship from Santander Universities. 

Her latest works are: "Inventario" (2023, supported by Reina Sofía Museum - Madrid), where Amanda converted her house in an art gallery; “La Plasti Ciudad Del Cuerpo” (2023 at Antonio Perez Foundation, Cuenca), a durational performance about possibilities of using discarded objects to produce and evoke architectural figures; “Nos.Otros Work” (2023 at Reina Sofía Museum, Madrid), a performance-installation that consists in a work operation taking place in a live video call between Amanda and her father.

Some of the teaching credits include the workshop 'City, Dérive and Performance Art' in Portugal (2022) for the participants of the research 'Arqueologias Afetivas'; the virtual workshop 'Becoming Action - Body & Memory' (2021) for participants from Latin America and Europe in the context of Covid-19 - and others in Brazil. As a producer, she managed festivals and artistic events in Brazil and in international co-productions.

Since 2016, Amanda co-creates/collaborates with Pedro Mendes in performance and experimental film projects, such as Vanilla Underground REDUX (2023), and Yellow Cage (2020). Currently, they are investigating expanded cinema. From 2020-2023 she was a founding member of the Território de Rupturas collective, investigating possibilities of remote creation based on the theory of 'Dérive' by Guy Debord and Georges Perec's concept of 'Infraordinary', which relates everyday life and art. Amanda also collaborates with several artists from Latin America and Europe, mostly on site-specific performances, films and stage productions. 

Amanda was supported by the Brazilian national arts foundation < FUNARTE >, Funarte Arts on the Street Award, SESC Brazil, Goethe-Institut, Secretary of Culture Brazil < SEDAC RS > and Programa Iberescena < co-production Brazil and Portugal >.
