Sala Mendoza, Caracas, Venezuela
June 1, 2019 – August 31, 2019
In the space of Librería at Sala Mendoza, the Venezuelan artist Adriana Genel presents Enterradas en luz, a series of see-through, acrylic boxes from which delicate fragments, both visual and discursive, unfold, at the same time covered by “paper clouds” that, ultimately, reveal as much as they unveil. The artist adopts, in lieu of the form, the written word as a medium to reveal its multiplicities and to demand the curious and creative gaze of the spectator, who will have to approach and even encroach himself among each of the pieces in order to fully appreciate them. Each box thus becomes a window and a stage, and if, in the words of the poet Octavio Armand, “meaning appeals with insistence to the senses, perhaps it will find light in words and words in light.”

We invited Leandro Muniz to write about the latest exhibition by Igi Lola Ayedún, artist and founder of the HOA gallery in Brazil. In the hatching of a dream, the materialization of the fantasy that has surrounded the artist in these last 6 years of artistic research is present.
