ARTIST STATEMENT

Malena pursed her lips as she watched him do the mural. They had been alone in the dining room for more than ten minutes and Agustín had hardly spoken to her. The smell of fresh paint made her sick, even in the open, she felt it coming through her nose and hammering her forehead. But she wasn’t complaining, she believed that he expected any pretext to look at her badly.  She had planned to go out on the street shortly, to declare the mid game, but the happy shouts invited her to wait a moment longer.

The idea of ​​using everyday objects to produce work and generate reflective processes. I believe working in collaboration with other artists implies the possibility of broadening the perspective and generating richer works.

ABOUT FUTURE

The residence was a super enriching space. It promoted the meeting with artists from different latitudes, we were able to exchange ideas and produce work based on the complexity of the idea of ​​”future”. Personally, it meant me to approach other artistic practices more linked to contemporary art, thinking not only about the final product, but also about the production process, as a work in itself.
