Should I Wax Before A Shower Or After

Hair Skin



Written on a
cowhide Luis Felipe Fabre


Titled bareback Cowhide currently showing recent work by Gabriela Gutierrez. Objects, painting, installation, photography and video, these pieces are marked by an awareness of the raw material to support them or cause of record: cow leather and human hair.
Through variations that make this show, Gabriela Gutierrez explores the possibilities of these materials and instead of imposing a meaning, extracted, and perhaps underlines the very memory of the materials chosen, the traces of its history and processes those who were exposed. Perhaps she says. Such is the case of one of the dialogues engage in the archipelago made up of cowhide leather with a large panel operated photographic records the passage systematic slaughter cows.





But Gutierrez's work appeals not only to our eyes and thought, but is also an invitation to touch disturbing. Leather animal and human hair. Skins skin that cause either pleasure or generating promising rejection. "To touch or not touch? In any case, the gaze is turned in one direction too sterile body to the textures of the work.
Hence the maximum voltage of these parts whose tendency toward formal abstraction is bounded the physicality of their materials and media, signs in themselves and of themselves. The skin and hair are remnants that account for human and animal bodies that once formed. Its conversion into raw material, and its disappearance as a body, no longer be terrifying.
This process of expropriation of the body is visible to the projected image of a naked woman: ghost in contrast to the indisputable presence of a dress made of human hair displayed a few meters. A dress made of body and that, paradoxically, is nudity. Native dress that no body saw.
not and what can a body, but what can a rest. Not only the body but the body reduced to raw materials: skin and hair. The body as a producer of raw materials and the loss of the body through the mechanisms of production.






"The work of art, despite its value auratic is a better product after all and, therefore, an accomplice? This seems to be one of the questions underlying these parts. Question that Gabriela Gutierrez insists from the choice of materials to the latest decisions of the conservatorship. Question immediately raises other. And like the old fables, the cow takes a disturbing quality mirror. But the human image that brings us back is not the ancient fables, but of a terrible reality without moral of all, one way or another, we are accomplices.

All the time I looking for the epidermis of things: the bark, of stones, paint or other materials. The reason for the existence of that surface. Has a history, has seen many things, events that result in signs and marks that have to do with condensation and concentration time on a surface that appears impregnable.

The skin has memory. The memory is embedded in our skin, our whole body, face, hair.



There are certain elements that play a while in the head to become real, to make ideas that assume a shape. This goes through a gestation period. Suddenly, one finds that he was seeking.
So he found the skins that make these islands in the process of finding your location, topographical, biographical and aesthetic.

first thing I attention was the smell given off by the fur shop where they were. I referred back to a childhood memory. Something between manure odor penetrating damp grass, open space and clear skies, to silence. Then I had much more violent images. The destazadero, the mixture of blood, moaning and fear. Cattle formed in a narrow concrete maze that led to his impending end. They all knew what would happen.



look closely at the markings forged iron and fire, the cracks, where the skin callus rested (as if a movie is showing in my head) acquiring images of people arrived lamps or articles of human or animal skin, concentration camps, human sacrifice rituals performed to appease the fear, primitive people sheltering from the weather, snatching life cover to feed.

The store bought sand-colored leather pieces imagining a group of islands, a formation of grazing cattle, sand bodies. I thought to restore its sagging through a new support and rebuild this theft to evoke a piece of the epidermis of the globe. A geographical area that could acquire new connotations, or reflection measurements. Noted that escapes the attention everyday.




Sometimes I think of an elephant graveyard and how their descendants meet periodically to honor his remains.

I think part of what I do is to restore something in this world, metaphorically at least-that hopelessly lost. Although it may seem useless, claiming a place for the fragile fabric of life, dignity, imagination, memory housed in the remains and our personal records. In the remains, in short, of our humanity. May claim a remote but not waivable right to hope.




Leather Imaginary Continents

In memory of Juan José Saer

Lelia Driban

There are episodes in the personal history of each crop that, at times clearly in memory, this mobile jar, without borders or fixed background, which zigzags between known, the known half and the unknown. Half the known and the unknown are instances of false and not simultaneously. Not because "the known half-glimpsed what is the perfect place to curl desire and delusion." The unknown has the abstract density and an absence, however, remains in the innermost layers of the mind belongs to us, a part of us like a bone stuck in the edge of a rock.

elusive Somewhere implicit in the evocative frame saved by Gabriela Gutierrez, came the first sign associative chain which was the skin, which resulted in a of the key pieces displayed in their current production: the carpet where repeated photographically, as a visual phrase, the work in the field: there is seen to penetrate in a row won by the sleeve to be washed, milked or slaughtered. Inevitably arises here the memory of "The Slaughterhouse," a novel Argentina capital in the nineteenth century literature written by Esteban Echeverría.

But if the Southern Cone author addresses the issue by a naturalism that incarnates the essence of evil in all its utilitarian and culturally accepted size, the Mexican artist decreases the voltage of cruelty in his treatment of the same subject. And it does so through the use Warholian to neutralize or reduce the tension through serialization of the three or four images that fill the mat.

From that location, this piece large opening makes explicit that which vibrates between "hallucination" and "desire." In other words, confers a status on biographical narrative sequence previously subsumed in the doze of memory. At the same time, intermediary process that goes from the event itself (the real) to photographic reproduction and printing final (reality another), establishing a chain homologous so mild, barely noticeable, with the sinuous ellipses that runs underground strata of the inextricable angles formed by the swing of thinking.

semivigilia And among so many, the desire to expand into a detour suggested by the skin objects and debris, animal hair and human hair embedded in some paintings to highlight and remember his incisive expressiveness in his face hidden lives, the look, the sound of death: another deck of the detour ... and emptiness. In this context, include high-contrast action: the tables, even with the disturbing presence of waste slid more lyrical poetic function.

Is it possible to compare with the fictional hallucination? The spectral figure whose skirt is a cascade of hair, a mix of girls and beheaded witch seems to say yes.

The other core of the exhibition consists of a succession of islands made with the same skin that builds other objects. From this common point of inflection generated by the derivative of the material body, permeates a twist to reemerge under the purview of a topography made up, an area of \u200b\u200beroded land in its depths in riddles that have symbolic links with the secret memory. What is an island but a tear of the continent? Just tear? No, that gap can be reborn as a compass oriented regions that still have an outline of light.

Finally: Gabriela Gutierrez accepted the risk to consummate a work that plays with the limits of the viscera.

01/12/08: re-establishing the Social Forum Villanueva

With the participation of about thirty residents of Villanueva de La Serena, last Monday was held meeting convened to reconstitute the Social Forum por el Desarrollo y Bienestar de Villanueva, un espacio ciudadano para el debate y la movilización que viene desarrollando su actividad, de un modo intermitente, desde el año 2001, abarcando temáticas como la calidad de los servicios públicos, la situación económica y socio-laboral, la actuación de las instituciones municipales...

En esta primera reunión de trabajo para la puesta en marcha de una nueva etapa de este Foro se valoraron, en primer lugar, las razones que aconsejan en este momento su reconstitución: la falta de herramientas para la participación directa de la ciudadanía, las numerosas cuestiones abiertas de gran importancia para local population (in areas such as public health, employment, housing or environmental preservation), the need for a critical counterpoint to the institutional decisions ...

The debate spread to the nature and methodology of the work of the Forum, pointing out issues like the relationship to be established between the Forum and other existing social actors (residents associations, environmental movements, parties political ...). In this sense, it emphasized the heterogeneous nature of the Forum, not to invade, but it brought online, these forms of association existing possible interactions and solidarity between them through the Forum. It was also stressed work on the basis of consensus, acting on matters in which there is full agreement among the participants, and promoting information and debate in those cases in which the Forum hosting positions. Also appreciated the opportunity to study, and if there is consensus to do so, take a local perspective some of the initiatives and campaigns promoted in the coming months from the World Social Forum and the European Social Forum.

There was a complete consensus among those present at the need and opportunity to relaunch at this time the activity of the Forum. Accordingly, he gave up the same, proceeding to the election of a new directive, as president Carmen Almena, Jesus Gomez Romero as vice president, secretary Jónatham Moriche, Manuel Díaz Sajti as treasurer, and members Domingo Dominguez, Francisco Javier Galán, Juana M ª Isabel Valle and Villanueva. This group will develop in the coming weeks a model of organization and debate and a first set of proposals for work to be presented to the assembly for collective reworking the next edition of the Forum.

to the conclusion of this notice, which date will be specified in the next few days, the work of the board and the contributions they wish to make any local resident will be consulted and debated through a mailing list and blog of the Forum.
