YESSR4 FLESH GARDEN



I am very happy to announce that I am participating and cocurating the upcoming show YESSR4 Flesh Garden along with canadien gallery owner Guy Berube (La Petite Morte Gallery, Ottawa). We have included the work of 17 artists from South America and artists represented by LPM, from Canada, Iran, England and USA.

This exhibition is an opportunity to cross meet South/North America, where geographical
limits are exceeded by the visceral urge to create and meet. We expect our artists to chop limbs,scatter around organs, to take maximum advantage of multiple chromatic attributes of skin; here we can all be surgeons and butchers.

FLESH GARDEN will bring together artists from across the Americas to share the experience
of representing the body in the New World. Canadian artists will be presented in the context of
colleagues from the United States and South America in a travelling exhibition that will be
presented in galleries in the Sala +18 (Santiago, Chile), in Casa Brandon (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
and La Petite Morte Gallery (Ottawa, Canada).

FLESH GARDEN provides an opportunity for artists to collaborate with each other and to share
with gallery visitors their paintings, photographs and mixed media collages depicting social and
physical trauma. The images are linked through their shared exploration of corporeal extremes,
invoking the anomalous and the exotic, the dismembered and the disturbing. Collectively, the
figurative works visualize the external evidence of internal states of disintegration,disfigurement,
and dysmorphia.

Between the tangible reality of lived experience and the surreality of psychic hallucination, this
selection of artists in the Americas reflects their diverse responses to the terrain of the human
body as the impact point of the social body.

CATEDRA DOMINGO SANCHEZ BLANCO


El día lunes es mi turno de montar dentro del espacio físico de la Cátedra Domingo Sanchez Blanco, una espacie de update, o mas bien una transformación de aquello montado hace unas semanas en Espacio Pata Negra, espacio que por lo demás ha sido cerrado... creo que mucho pico y mucho hoyo para los comensales de la galeria/restaurante de Providencia... Suerte que monte primero, de lo contrario dudo haber tenido el chance de exponer allí.
Ahora, este nuevo Espacio Fassman tiene la gracia que esta inserto dentro del taller, una esquina/galeria, pared/galeria, la galeria del masturbatorio.
Aquí mostrare una segunda forma de materializar mis uber exhibidos Frat Origamis, que en un comienzo fueron proyecciones, luego calcomanias en los muros de Pata Negra, y ahora impresiones en papel vegetal para Fassman (con marcos de madera reciclada)... De esta manera creo que mi pensamiento ambientalista se integra en mis procesos de montaje, sin intervenir en el discurso de mi obra. Veremos como resulta esto...

MIDDLE HILL

When artistic creation becomes a transversal element in your life you start to see things from a different perspective.
Along with our continuous trips to the nearest hill, we have revisited certain spots of this landscape on various occasions.
A gigantic Boldo tree stands as our referential point since it is right in the middle section marking half way to the top; never the less, we have always climbed up to that point and not further.
I've selected a few shots of this place in an attempt to recreate it from different perspectives.
Details can give the viewer certain information about patterns in this scale. Stone, moss and soil have an enormous diversity of colours and shades.
Different scales and different points of view tell the viewer much about the general mood of our beloved hill...
