Reviews
Although the works range from painting to video installation, and although the artists are from Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia, “An Other Place” reverberates a collective sense of displacement.
The installation 2iPM009, 2009, by the Venezuelan artist Magdalena Fernández (1964) is currently being shown at the Frost Art Museum, Florida International University, after its tour of the 10th Cuenca Biennial, and it will later travel to the Museum of Latin American Art in California.
Decadence is, without a doubt, one of the most defining traits of contemporary society. This feeling of deterioration which, in the opinion of Fredric Jameson , is a premonition of Post-Modernism itself, invalidates our capacity to predict with any certainty in what direction we are moving.
Emilia Azcárate’s (Caracas, Venezuela, 1964) most recent work offers us a new vision of the passage from the bidimensionality of the canvas to the three-dimensional object, which goes beyond the studies of depth that may be performed on the plane and that affords the latter a new form of life.
