29–november 11, 2018 curators : petra joos and enrique juncosa gallery 105 june
One of the most notable artists of the past decade, Joana Vasconcelos (b. 1971) works in sculpture and installation. She garnered international attention at the 2005 Venice Biennial, where she presented The Bride (A noiva). In 2012, she was the first woman to exhibit her work at the Palace of Versailles in France. Some of Vasconcelos’ works are very technically complex and feature movement, sound, or light, which the artist creates in her studio in Lisbon with a large team of collaborators. These pieces often incorporate found materials such as household appliances, tiles, fabrics, artisan ceramics, bottles, medications, urinals, showers, cooking utensils, telephones, cars, or plastic cutlery. Referencing sociopolitical topics related to consumer, postcolonial, and globalized societies, she constructs stunning, playful, direct images that address subjects ranging from immigration to gender violence. Her work incorporates her sense of humor, suggesting open rather than dogmatic meanings, and approaching, by requiring the audience participation of the spectator in its interpretation and viewing, the so-called relational aesthetics that emerged at the end of the 1990s. Filled with references ranging from artist Louise Bourgeois to popular culture, from metalworking to fashion, from artisan crea
tion to advanced engineering, her work primarily explores the theme of identity covering the private as well as the political and social spheres. Sponsored by:

Javier Téllez: Shadow Play 12–november 18, 2018 & video, gallery 103 curator : manuel cirauqui july film
The work of Javier Téllez (b. 1969, Valencia, Venezuela) always involves excluded groups and communities, such as refugees, disabled persons, or psychiatric patients, serving as a vehicle for realities that defy our standard rationality. Shadow Play is a silent 35 mm black-and-white film in which the actors’ shadows play a starring role. Created in Switzerland with the collaboration of refugees from different countries, who appear in the film and helped write the script, Shadow Play uses the theatrical, proto-cinematic genre of Chinese shadow puppetry to act out stories of exile and migration told by those who actually lived them. In this silent narrative, the refugees overcome language barriers to recount and relive episodes of their difficult life journey, sometimes literally and at other times poetically and metaphorically. Their brief gestural stories recall
the oral traditions and popular myths common in non-Western cultures and communities. Yet as their tales unfold, a disruptive element appears and begins to interact with the figures: Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture The Hand (1947).
