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.
“stand stand” is the showing I made at the Recoleta Cultural Centre in May 2007 and rather than speaking about a single work, I prefer talking about this series. It is composed by 11 pieces of painted melamina which were designed as a big installation strongly linked to the exhibition space. As most of my work, I have started planning, designing, making models and sketches trying to achieve some instance of design that could allow me to transfer this image to a real scale. Almost like a piece of furniture or a door or window, or...
2. In general terms, how would you suggest to approach your work?
I do not think I should suggest the viewer a certain way of approaching my work. I do suggest taking time for its contemplation with relaxed and paused attitude.
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?
Minimal, object art, concrete art, modern architecture and contemporary design etc. There’s much of the everyday world that strongly nurtures my work.
4. Choose works or exhibitions from the last ten or fifteen years which in your opinion were very significant and explain why
The Tao of Art, Abstract Argentin Art at Proa Foundation, Cambre at the National Endowment for the Arts, Jorge de la Vega at Malba, Paul Siquier at Ruth Benzacar Gallery, Gumier Maier, Guillermo Kuitca and more...
