Resist, a live art event devised by Australian arts group pvi collective was held recently in Chile outside the presidential palace as part of trans-versa, an exhibition of Australian and New Zealand art at Museo De Arte Contemporana, Santiago. Employing the ancient non-violent conflict resolution device of the tug-of-war, the artists invited members of the public to engage in resolving local disputes through an intimate symbolic power struggle. The event has been documented and is presented via a video diptych in the gallery space.Trans-versa is curated by Zara Stanhope and Danae Mossman. It runs at Museo De Arte Contemporana, Santiago, until November 10.
