Tales Frey (Catanduva-São Paulo, Brazil, 1982). Even though Frey can be hastily called a performer, the title does not account for the many languages that cross his transdisciplinary investigations. Driven primarily by drawing and the body, the artist has built a path that accumulates experiences from the scenic universe, including acting, costume design, dramaturgy, scenography, and theatrical direction, as well as dance and choreography, and visual art languages such as sculpture, objects, photography, and video art. His practice is based on studies of art criticism, gender theories, performativity and others, in an aesthetic radicalism supported by a deep desire for artistic experimentalism and a vast contemporary cultural repertoire. Committed to propositions that challenge what he calls “compulsory cisheteronormativity”, his thinking and art practice are also activist. He is concluding his postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Humanistic Studies at the University of Minho in Portugal, where he is a Professor and Assistant Researcher in the scientific area of Arts or Aesthetics.
