El peso del Arte (The Weight of Art) a performance video by the Chilean artist Francisco Alonso Gonzalez Castro will be exhibited from the 1st to the 8th November 2009 at elmur.net permanent videoinstalation on the street (Lleida / Spain). The video performance was held on Sunday 4 October this year (2009) at the East Campus of the Universidad Catolica de Chile in Santiago. This video performance aims to generate discusion on the "weight" of art, understanding weight as value, weight or physical, or as a burden on society. In the video the artist is tied and suspended, or weighed by the viewer. As we can see on the video the rope is directed towards the camera so that the viewer is virtually who holds the artist. Who gives weight to the art? Weight is in the work, in the artist or it is a value related to audiences? Are some of the issues that are being sought.
