Fabio Tremonte presents "We must think" at MAILING project by Correlación Contemporánea, Peru

Curated by Marco Herrera Fernández
Lima, Peru
January 9, 2021 – January 30, 2021

Correlación Contemporánea is a self-managed art space leading virtual exhibitions. In the first edition of the MAILING project, we received Fabio Tremonte (São Paulo, 1975) with the exhibition Tenemos que pensar / We must think, inspired by the call “Think we must! We must think! From Virgina Woolf and remembered by Donna Haraway in the book Staying with the Trouble. The exhibition was circulated virtually by email (e-galeria@correlacioncontemporanea.com) during January 2021.

We must think, is a series of posters where the word becomes a tool to show relationships or tensions that are generated while we build our world. In this communicative process, he asks to think, reflect and dialogue, about the dividing categories that we establish in our communities that are imperative. Fabio fuses the daily life and arts to configure works linked to the relational, performative, affective and community character of Latin America, which uses communication practices that build a social, democratic and horizontal environment.

In these days of confinement, Fabio bets on exploring new perspectives on life. The exhibition circulates via email and proposes the viewer to complete this correspondence by printing the poster, responding by email, or remaining silent. Action or inaction are forms of communication in this proposal for collective reflection. This is an invitation to explore Mail-Art.

How do the mountains, the plants, the animals, the river build the world? In what way can we imagine new worlds, encounters and communities? These are some questions that arise when observing the statements that Fabio proposes. This visual relationship that he establishes between words, colors and receptors is a call to reflect and dialogue about the divisive categories that we have built in our communities.

We must think is a warning or reminder about the existence diverse living things and perspectives that we have forgotten to take into account when interacting with the world.

Proyecto MAILING

Our mail periodically becomes a space for exhibition, enunciation and conversation between a guest artist and our database through an electronic postal circuit as an alternative tool for artistic circulation and dissemination. Artists’ productions should be related to the investigation of the political, economic or cultural context of their scenes, which represents concerns reflected in collective imaginaries that allow understanding the region.
