WELCOME TO THE PLEXUS INTERNATIONAL OFFICIAL SITE IN EVOLUTION
Over its 40 years, Plexus events have built one upon the other. Each event takes place in its own present, but it is made up of past concepts and activities while it projects its own various parts into the future.
DISCOVERY THE MULTIPLE OTHER WORLD OF PLEXUS
BY ARTISTS IN THE FIRST PERSON
Plexus may be is one of the most complex, one of the most universal, in Plexus we find so many different kinds of performances of art, actions and exhibitions, which is important as a kind of summa of all works since the Living Theatre, Cage, all schools of improviser art.
Giancarlo Schiaffini, Rome/New York, 1981
We needed greater synthesis efforts in order to define PLEXUS

THE HUMAN BEINGS

Which is what
You don't
Know
Alfa Diallo's poem "Definition", New York, 1993
The beauty of Plexus is that we were strong enough to be able to cross all conflicts, beside the fact that we have different origins, the feeling that we have, we were able to do what we had to do without to put in front our confrontations to block all the project and to go together and to move further the project to go on. There was a mystic force behind us to pass through all the economic difficulties and to answer to the question: for whom I am doing this?
Alfa Diallo, Lower East Side, New York
Long distance lies between virtual realities and actual living, breathing realities.

BODY AND MIND ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER
ALL OUR PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ARE INTERCONNECTED!!
FROM NERVOUS SYSTEM, CARDIORESPIRATORY SYSTEM, GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM, ENDOCRINE SYSTEM TO OUR IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM

By eating and digesting Andy Warhol dematerialized, this Plexus ritual is an open invitation to reflect on how we consume culture ving life with its planetary bounders. Eating Andy Warhol poses today the question: what happens when the art object and the artist merge into one edible idea?”

PLEXUS onde di trasformazioni…
Roma, Dicembre 2012 - Ottobre 2013
Un tuffo in Plexus, aaaa!bruuu!humm!rido!mi guardo intorno, ritorno sulla riva, un sguardo e, mi rituffo, ripresa da una ondata che ti fa sbattere contro la sua corrente forte, debole, che si trasforma e, poi si calma, profitto!salgo a galla un po’ d’aria respiro, la testa si gira e si rigira, lo sguardo è verso l’orizzonte e dintorno, si vedano gli altri, per fortuna!no sono sola! che ondata, tutti li a raccontare il loro “tuffo”. Mi ributto in questa onda che si trasforma e, ti lasci portare nelle sue dolce carezza, aspre, fredda, caldo, lasci il corpo e l’anima pronta, non proprio pronta! mah! ti prende…sono li per caso? Mah!per caso? Si per caso! e va bene! invece anch’io ero li a raccontare ben poco, ma ero li! anche per imparare, come per andare a scuola. All’interno tante porte, finestre, tunnel, pilastri, muri e tante storie; starci dentro ci si passa per piccoli ostacoli, codice, scritti, storia, giochi da montare e costruire.
Storie vissute, documentante, artisti in prima persone, opere, lettere, fotografie, oggetti, racconti, umani, terra, cibo, animale, musica, viaggi, notizie, fame, luce, amore, famiglia, amici, arte, fobie, dolore, guerra, schiavitu, cinema, insomma si parla di tutto e di tutto si parla. Ci si condivide con complicita’ e spontanea liberta’di espressione. Quale Plexus, con il suoi 30° Aniversario, meriterebbero l’onore d’essere una materia da studiare.
Semplicemente una piccola metafora di questo piccolo diagramma per il quale poi ci fa parte d’essere. Sei dentro, meno male che si scivola pure, in un’ altalena grande, tutti vogliamo e possiamo scivolare insieme, sono tanti percorsi belli.
Glaucia Coelho Demenjour Roma, Dicembre 2012
