CLAUDIA JOSKOWIZC, SOLO EXHBITION AT VALENCIA

By Álvaro de Benito

Valencian gallery Jorge Lopez is programming a solo exhibition by artist Claudia Joskowizc (Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, 1968) that brings together the audiovisual and performative techniques with which the Bolivian artist builds the narrative and chronology of her native country.

In the specific case of Intersecciones, as the exhibition is named and on view through June 1, Joskowizc reconstructs part of that social and artistic imagery gathered in the collective subconscious, with recreations and impact actions that aim at perpetuating the memory of several acts that have been building that history.

 

Thus, in Recreaciones (2007-2009) the Bolivian artist proposes to reinterpret three specific episodes staged in Bolivia through video art: the exhibition of Che Guevara's corpse, the medieval execution of the native icon of resistance Tupac Katari, and the plot surrounding the murders of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The exhibition is completed with Cada edificio de la Avenida Alfonso Ugarte - Según Ruscha, from 2011, a video installation inspired by the North American pop master and with allusions to cinema that reflects the daily life of Warhol's projections, which alludes to a reality framed in places of a social-historical nature.

Intersecciones will be open to the public at Jorge Lopez Gallery, Valencia, Spain. From April 18 to June 1.
