Excerpt of press release: Un puente es un hombre cruzando un puente*
For Christinger De Mayo I will produce 5 new curtains made with basic color and formal elements, which placed in space, should create a dialogue between each panel and between each panel and its spatial location. A new aspect in this exhibition will be the placement of each curtain: They will be placed in the limit areas of space, near or covering a window -behaving like a real curtain- or near a door or passage area through 2 spaces – behaving as a sort of fabric-divider/door. One might even be placed over a table – behaving as a tablecloth. The idea behind this is to create an installation with elements that almost, just almost, leave the realm of art to become almost functional objects. It is sort of doing a reversed ReadyMade. Or a reversed ready made that is constantly zooming in and out, like a psychedelic pattern, like a bridge with a man (or a woman) crossing it over and over and over again…
