Mujica will be hanging a selection of his signature Cortinas<\/em> (curtains) in response to the project in the main gallery by Ricardo Alcaide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mujica\u2019s work is influenced by the social and political movements of the \u201960s and \u201970s, and elements from graphic design and advertisement, that bring together the pictorial and popular culture. As a Latin American artist living in the United States, his discourse is influenced by his geographic displacement, since for him there is no center or real periphery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1997, Mujica co-founded (with Diego Fern\u00e1ndez y Jos\u00e9 Luis Villablanca) the Galer\u00eda Chilena GALCHI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Felipe Mujica will present several works of his ongoing series Curtains<\/em> (begun in 2006). These pieces are made of different fabrics or textile procedures and are often exhibited hanging in different points of the exhibition space, creating a sort of new, soft architecture in the gallery. As Alcaide\u00b4s Horizon<\/em> with its colored slabs, Mujica\u00b4s Curtains<\/em> transform the spatial scene. Change is constant as the curtains can rotate when they interact with currents of air or with the movement of passing-by spectators. The architectonic character of his intervention speaks of the artist\u00b4s interest in radical constructive practices of the twenty-century, from International Constructivism to the School of Valparaiso in Chile, active since 1952.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each of the Curtains<\/em> carries a specific design of Mujica, belonging to a series based on the interplay of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. Through the years he has amassed hundreds of these designs in a series of notebooks. Initially, it was the artist himself who tailored each of these designs in the fabrics. However, since 2012, Mujica has made of the production process of the works moments of collaboration and, on occasions, social situations. Some of the Curtains<\/em> exhibited in DV were sewn only by the artist while others were produced with groups of women in Gothenburg over a period of two weeks in 2018. The artist met with them regularly to sew and socialize around the traditional Swedish fika<\/em>\u2014sharing time with friends and colleagues to have a cup of tea or coffee. Sewing, in this latter case, was done in a group whilst sharing from banal conversation to discussing common interests and concerns. In this way, this series by Mujica is similar to Alcaide\u00b4s practice regarding two aspects. Firstly, the important role that manual work has in the process of production and, second, their mutual recognition of a larger (social) horizon, a shared ground of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n ….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2021 DIMENSIONS VARIABLE Installation and opening views, CortinasSolo show, Dimensions Variable – Project Gallery, MiamiJuly 10 \u2013 October 12, 2021 Installation photos by Francesco Casale, courtesy of Dimensions Variable, Miami \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Exhibition text by Daniel Garza Usabiaga: Dimensions Variable (DV) presents a solo project by Santiago, Chile-born, New York-based artist Felipe Mujica.
