Maíra Dietrich
Forces interplay
13.04.15 29.04.15
Maíra Dietrich works with graphic arts, writing, drawing and artists’ books. She is interested in the deconstruction of the artistic process and language, articulating works that provoke the means by which they are manufactured: books without beginning or ending, unique print etchings, drawings that are texts, texts that tear themselves.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The project ‘Jogo de Força’ proposed for the residency program at Proyecto ‘ace is composed by the construction of a series of graphic pieces that will continue the formal research of the artist upon contemporary graphic language as a layer of significance. For this specific project hybrid pieces that reflect upon the confrontation of these layers of significance will be constructed through processes of addition and subtraction.
