This exhibition features pose an approach to a classic theme from different angles and using different materials, disciplines and media.
The body is always a reference. It is the place from where they leave or land developments of human life.
A group of islands cowhide mounted on wooden brackets speak metaphorically how the topography of settle body-world open the gate. Archipelagos whose morphology comes from the haphazard way in which the skins were removed and placed to dry in the sun in the process of being tanned.
these islands were installed in the museum of The Echo on the emotional architecture proposed by Mathias Goeritz, specifically on a corridor that serves as the entrance tunnel to the main space.
This hall has altered the proportions or architectural correspondences both in height and angles. This tunnel predisposes the viewer from entering the site.
The room is located against the tunnel face-hall boarded a black box with a formal correspondence, both with the islands as part central strip of hair is a tissue on a plastic net.
also has mounted a piece of skin hanging such languid only pins. This object is inscribed with a phrase borrowed from Zygmund Bauman says:
Here you must specify that even metaphorically, I mean the human body. The body has self-consciousness, even when using cow skin (animal sacred in certain parts of the world). I refer to the body, conscious of its travel the world, its finitude.
Al inhabitant of the body conscious of time and space occupied by individually but also as a collective body, such as human presence in the age of the earth. In that sense I speak of the visual field that opens the memory of his presence back at the archaic past that is conscious and have limited range of vision you might have this awareness of their future. The project of civilization is no longer on the skyline.
The main room is a taut piece at each end made from a braided hair on a network.
The piece is raised in its most exposed by way of division or rectangular made near the hair of many people. Second devoid of formal interpretations.
Recreate a topography with geographical divisions defined by the irregularity of the tonal areas formed by the hair. Here I refer to the collective body. In what is an arbitrary unit based on chance. Who decided to be born, where?
This strip of hair metaphorically represents a mass of essences of bodies are not aware, at least not entirely, to be part of fabric on which are contained or trapped.
Lattice whose support is a plastic net.
Sharing the room are two black boxes, to me, has been how to translate the experience of my contact these materials and ideas to the plane of the pictorial space,
to where the attempt to articulate a language experience.
Here the logic is altered to become subjective experience and instinct that draws out without seeking linear interpretations.
could almost tell a story what happens inside and outside the body to convulse. In this sense this piece in addition to a nod from outside the painting alludes to the existential immediacy. That moment is going to die while burning for the simple fact of being alive.
Here the logic is altered to become subjective experience and instinct that draws out without seeking linear interpretations. The way that addresses the picture is that of an ordered field that suggests a background grid. This grid acts as a support while as sgraffito contradiction of gesture that is fired on it.
immediacy in this drive or the body is involved. There is also, inevitably, a partnership with the sensual and violent, however, that this be done with the black background makes it a reflective mental area.
The black and has raised for me the space attribute of mind.
Finally, in another locked room is a video of a female body that repeats a movement. This is the only direct reference on the subject of the body as form, but ultimately it is virtual.
I think this piece makes it meaningful order of the elements raised in this exhibition. This piece could be called "stage of existence."
is so much that can be seen in one body to take a bit of movement and slow down.
