My always shining Sole ❤️ we just took a short holidays together. I love to show you how big and different is the world and how similar and deeply connected are all the people and human beings!
It’s not always easy to travel with a kid, expecailly because I am used to explore a new city by surprise ( and not staying all the time attached to the phone to look for maps and guides). In this picture we were at the old city in Buda but Sole was looking for buying a toy and was upset because there were no shops! But then we made different activities and he enjoyed it ( and finally we find a little car too).
holiday time and working time 🙂with
Alcuni momenti della presentazione di nella fantastica , con che introduce e che ha meravigliosamente letto dei brani del libro e che ringrazio entrambe per L attenzione al mio lavoro.
Un caro grazie a Carlotta Cernigliaro per organizzazione e invito, e al numeroso e appassionato pubblico. E Grazie a Sole che e’ venuto con me divertendosi un mondo e interagendo allegramente con tutti!
I am proud to inviting you at a new presentation of my book and video ‘This is the Best Artwork’ which will be held on Sunday May 12 at 4 pm at the marvelous Villa Cernigliaro in Sordevolo ( near Biella, Piemonte. 1 hour trip from Milan).
I am looking forward to seeing you!
And looking forward to be there, I know the place, it’s a majestic historic residence from the 18th century with a huge park!
😘
Vorrei andare all opening del Miart giovedì prossimo ma non ho l’invito e nemmeno tanto tempo per cercarlo. Qualcuno magari mi invita o ha un invito che non usa?
( diventando mamme ho capito che è’ necessario essere sintetici e diretti per fare le cose altrimenti non si fa nulla!)
Ringrazio in anticipo! 🙏😘❤️

E’ da gennaio che ci sono immersa fino al collo e questa volta finisco tutto e li presenterò! (Molti di voi sanno che adoro la lentezza oppure mi accade. L importante e’ non desistere mai!)

THIS IS THE BEST ARTWORK
Presentazione del libro e del video
Con l’autrice LIUBA dialoga
“Mai come in This is the Best Artwork LIUBA si espone in prima persona, mostrando al pubblico l’amore più grande. Lo fa con il linguaggio che l’ha sempre contraddistinta, il suo corpo, esposto al pubblico e performante nei luoghi dell’arte. In questo caso il palcoscenico è l’inaugurazione della Biennale di Venezia, l’evento più sacro per un’artista. (…) Un’opera portatrice di un messaggio universale, come nei lavori precedenti, ma in questo caso molto più intimo e privato. L’esperienza artistica questa volta è la nascita di un figlio, tanto voluto quanto inatteso, un Sole, segno di speranza per tutti e volontà dell’artista di condividere qualcosa di personale col pubblico dell’arte“. (Luca Panaro)

Here some images of last Sunday’s book and video presentation. We were .milano in Milan, together with Silvia Muciaccia and the city councilor Diana de Marchi who are very passionate about my project and whom I thank with all my heart.
We first had a collective lunch (what healthy and genuine food!!! congratulations to the cooks!!) and then presented the video and the book. I also brought my son Sole with me the who gives me enormous satisfaction every time, because he interacts with everyone with his lively talk, everyone loves him, and he even sat down to listen on the chair in the audience, sending me kisses!!
Thanks to .muciaccia , for the organization and the splendid presentation, to city councilor and President of Equal Opportunities of the Municipality of Milan, who did me the honor of participating,for her wonderful words, to Paola Virgili, actress who has read some passages from the book, to Federica and Serena from Casa Alveare, who hosted and pampered us! And to all the passionate public!
LIUBA | THIS IS THE BEST ARTWORK | PRESENTAZIONI -
… each one of us following our interests… 🤪
I went to the day after the opening and it was very quiet. I went strategically in the time of Sole’s nap - that’s why I carried him in the stroller - and in the time of cartoons, so we could both enjoy our passions!
In the morning we stayed all the time at a sunny park in the nature with many baby games.
I love to travel with Sole! He is very social and talks to everybody ( except in cartoons time!) and he adores taking trains buses metros trams, taxi and cars..
I enjoys the Fair, veering art, meeting friends and finding some really good works and good galleries.
My in with dear friends and Sole.
I was not at all at my top of shape because we had some problems of sleeping in the past few nights and … I can resist to anything except the missing of sleeping! Being mother means also being extremely tired much more often than ever!
I was in Bologna also for the opening of where I went the day after instead of the opening day, because I collapsed into my friend Angela’s car on the way to the fiera and wisely she said: let’s go back home! 😂
I really thank all the dearest people of my , all my dearest friends, and all the many many people who wished me a happy birthday through any possible way: by person, by message, by phone, by WhatsApp, by social media, by email, by vocal message. A river of love that resounds in me with gratitude and joy ❤️ And being with Sole it the joy that gives me the joy of joy!
Sole and I at in
Burning into fire whatever we have to let it go for building a new time of light and brightness.
Purification fire
A wonderful blessing for the new year just started! Fire burns and new flowers born and blossom.
Oggi al all’Abbazia di . Fuoco purificatore di buon auspicio per questo nuovo anno appena iniziato. Che amore e luce e calore ci accompagnino! 😍❤️🎉🌈 #2024
To be mother is wonderful ( yes, I know, it’s sometime exhausting!)
To be an artist is wonderful ( yes, I know, it’s sometime exhausting!)
To be Sole’s mum and an artist is SPECIAL and MARVELLOUS! 😍😍😍

Questa serie inedita di qualche tempo fa è stata scattata a New York durante dei Fuochi d’Artificio.
Ho deciso di mettere a disposizione le foto di questa serie per il progetto « Peace collector» organizzato in collaborazione con Medici Senza Frontiere, programmando l’edizione dell’immagine, con una minima missione utile.
In questo periodo di festa i fuochi d’artificio rappresentano il buon auspicio per il nuovo anno, ma per molte famiglie sono i fuochi di guerra che volano nel cielo. Aiutiamo a trasformare tutti i fuochi di guerra in fuochi di Festa!
Chi fosse interessat* può acquistarne un’esemplare facendo una donazione a Medici Senza Frontiere, offerta libera da un minimo di € 25 euro a foto. Se foste interessat* messaggiatemi in privato per info e accordi.

Ciao amici Milanesi o a Milano in questi giorni, vi invito a Performa24 una rassegna organizzata da giovani artisti che riguarda la performance, sia di ambito arte contemporanea, come le mie, che di ambito danza contemporanea. E' una kermesse che dura da oggi alle 18 sino a domani alle 18 senza mai fermarsi ( come programmato audacemente dagli organizzatori). Io parteciperò con i miei video della serie virus esposti al @tempiodelfuturoperduto @tempiodaylight questa sera/notte e una breve performance live sul tema del virus e della pace, domani mattina verso le 11 a @maremilano Mare culturale urbano, una interessante situazione di cascina con attività creative e ricreative. Se siete qui in questi giorni ( noi siamo tornati apposta ieri da Rimini!) vi invito a venirci a vedere! Nel post successivo trovate il programma (ps. Stasera-notte ci sono i miei video - occasione che non capita spesso di vederli in versione integrale! mentre io sarò live domattina e stanotte mi riposo!) #performa24 #performanceart #performanceartist #liuba liubanet #virus #videoarte #contemporaryart #milano
Bombardare una città è, proprio tecnicamente, terrorismo: perseguire uno scopo politico-strategico, o ideologico (è il caso della "russificazione" sognata da Putin) attraverso il terrore. Le discussioni sui crimini di guerra, in questo senso, perdono molto del loro peso. Il crimine è la guerra. La dissuasione, in ogni sua forma, della guerra, è lotta al crimine.

6.THE SLOWLY PROJECT – ART IS LONG, TIME IS SHORT – BASEL video: 2004-2009, Switzerland-Italy, colours, 14’45” ed 5 + 2ap I went to the opening with my cameraman and the VIP pass for entering the Fair, but we were not allowed to get him in. So I asked to the italian Galleria Continua, which knew my work, and they wrote a paper that my performance at the opening was organized by them. And so I could make the performance and the shootings without any disturb! #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art #basel #artislongtimeisshort #artbasel #switzerland #theslowlyproject #conceptualart #takeyourtime #contemporaryartist #slow #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #baudelaire
THE SLOWLY PROJECT – ART IS LONG, TIME IS SHORT – BASEL video: 2004-2009, Switzerland-Italy, colours, 14’45” ed 5 + 2ap The Slowly Project is composed by the same performance in different cities and contexts. This kind of performance requires many months of preparation. The training was long and intensive in order that, through control of the body and of each muscle, a seemingly fluid and ‘slow motion’ effect is created. #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art #basel #artislongtimeisshort #artbasel #switzerland #theslowlyproject #conceptualart #takeyourtime #contemporaryartist #slow #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #baudelaire
THE SLOWLY PROJECT – ART IS LONG, TIME IS SHORT – BASEL video: 2004-2009, Switzerland-Italy, colours, 14’45” ed 5 + 2ap The video, resulting from three days of performance and from three different cameramen's footage, has been built as poetry and as a ‘moving painting’. I worked on the editing, searching for ways to express emotions, aesthetic pleasure and concepts. The video is a loop and I consider this work to be a painting in motion, to be seen on the wall or in a flat screen on the wall. #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art #basel #artislongtimeisshort #artbasel #switzerland #theslowlyproject #conceptualart #takeyourtime #contemporaryartist #slow #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #baudelaire
THE SLOWLY PROJECT – TAKE YOUR TIME – New York City Center, video: 2005 – 2011, Usa, colours, 19’36” ed 5 + 2ap The Slowly Project is composed by the same performance in different cities and contexts. The differences of the videos reveal a way to investigate the differences of the places. The reactions, the noises, the buildings, the people in New York were very special and specific. The video is like a ‘story’ of that place. #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art#performancepiece #newyork #theslowlyproject #conceptualart #takeyourtime #contemporaryartist #slow #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #pedestrian #city #cars #newyorkcitycenter

Side by Side, Venice Bienniale Opening 2005 video: 2005 – 2010, Italy,colours 7’18”- three channel video installation ed 3+ 2ap The video produced from this performance is a three-channel video installation. The Side by Side performance took place at the opening of the Venice Bienniale, 2005. Like a normal visitor I entered when suddenly I broke out in a powerful and intense scream, one that emerged from the chest and penetrated the air. #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art#performancepiece #liubanet #sidebyside #conceptualart #biennale #contemporaryartist #venice #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #scream #volcano #chic

Il Cieco di Gerico (the Blind Man of Jericho) 2003, performance at Venice Biennale and video ed 3+2 I performed, as everyone else, as a visitor of the Biennale, the only difference between me and the others were the opaque glasses. Now that we’re slowly getting back to socializing I’m wondering if the old ways will remain or instead we will become more perceptive. #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art#performancepiece #liubanet #lilciecodigerico #conceptualart #biennale #contemporaryartist #earlyworks #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #theblindmanofjericho #jericho #venezia #glasses
This video is a small excerp of LIUBA, Paris Backstage, 2006 (you can find it on my youtube). As you can see here I am meeting Achiles my partner for the performance of ‘Les Amantes’ and explaining the piece to him. I wandered through the streets of Paris looking for my companion and I was very lucky to find him, after lots of tries! #liuba #liubarchive #performance #performanceart #videoart #liubanet #contemporaryart #art#performancepiece #liubanet #lesamants #conceptualart #mixedmedia #contemporaryartist #earlyworks #artecontemporanea #performanceartist #yinyan #blackandwhite #oppposition #galerieparisud #achiles
AlphaOmega in 'Troubled Times' curated by Maria Campitelli, War Museum, Trieste 2004 - second performer Damiana Bertozzi “...This is the strength of LIUBA. Her touching courage to give herself as a living and true body, as a martyr and an iconic concentration of all pain, anger and sweetness, is so powerful that it is no longer possible to ignore it. LIUBA reveals. With prophetic clarity, she reveals and highlights all the absurd things that happen in this world populated by princess-eating dragons. With painful commitment, she lends her body, invoking a precious contribution to art and poetry to bring out the neglected conscience of man.
