RECEITUÁRIO

The article reflects on the time-site-specific interactive happening/installation “Prescription”, presented at the exhibition “Silver boy in muscle top over hot pink”, at the National Museum of the Republic, in Brasília, Brazil, between September and November 2024. In the work, identity markers are made explicit through the cultural appropriation, by the artists and participants in the action, of sunglasses, a hot pink tank top and a silver chain to take instant photos and fix them in the exhibition space. Based on the relationship between the critique of the institutions and the daily use of antidepressants/anxiolytics and PrEP, the artists discuss the co-authorship as a form of creation in contemporary art, denouncing everyday life in its introjected normality.
