Vision of art
1. Choose a work that represents you, describe it in relation to its format and materiality, its relation with time and space, its style and theme; detail its production process.
A work that I like a lot is “Spillage”. It is part of the production that I developed during my residence at El Basilisco. It consists of paint cans to which I started adding rubber bands, some were torn apart and spilled its content, in some others and because of the pressure the caps jumped more than a meter with paint on them. I choose it because I think it reflects my work process in which time, observation, uncertainty, action, tension, resistance, fluency and the sum of events determines a system. This system doesn't have a controlled ending but it is certainly developed upon mechanical decisions. From here, my work becomes actions that lead into reactions, where my intention is to let events flow. Ultimately I feel that my work is an intention of work.
2. In general terms, how would you suggest to approach your work?
I think that the best way for reading my work is to depart from its construction, thus figuring out which where the events that have unleashed the object or installation.
3. In reference to your work and your position in the national and international art fields, what tradition do you recognize yourself in? Who are your contemporary referents? What artists of previous generations are of interest to you?
I like to experiment, to see what could happen. I like Tom Friedman, Gabriel Orozco, Jorge Macchi, Narda Alvarado, Esteban Álvarez, Diego Figueroa, Warhol works, among others.
4. Choose works or exhibitions from the last ten or fifteen years which in your opinion were very significant and explain why
I liked a lot an exhibition that I've recently seen, United Manufacturers by Eduardo Navarro, at the Once neighborhood.
5. What tendencies or groupings from common elements do you see in argentine art of the last ten or fifteen years?
Artist’s managements and initiatives are multiplying and producing new circuits and thoughts about contemporary art.
