Vision of art
1. Choose a work that represents you, describe it in relation to its format and materiality, its relation with time and space, its style and theme; detail its production process.
I would choose any of the works that were a part of "Electroluter", my latest exhibition. They are cardboard packaging of household products (cleaning, bathing, eating, etc.), minced (drilled) with very small spots mounted on light boxes, in different wood veneers. The measurements of the boxes vary according to the format of the board. These works using drilling and light, are typical of me. I take these cards to punch, not as a cult to the product or the design but because it is easy to make it constantly along their forms. The packaging helps me to draw and is very nice to see how they are transformed as they are drilled.
2. In general terms, how would you suggest to approach your work?
Not to make a hasty judgment, it would be a great way to read my work. They pop, recycling and backlight categories may come up with ease. To suggest the viewer to do a point by point reading, drilling by drilling, would be foolish, and would take a long time, but surely he will find in this reading many more hidden images that the ones that appear at first sight... as bursting to see clouds pass by.
3. In reference to your work and your position in the national and international art fields, what tradition do you recognize yourself in? Who are your contemporary referents? What artists of previous generations are of interest to you?
I am part of the artists who make a cult of the materials, the tools and the methods for processing these materials ...I really enjoy when I get to know mechanic workshops, of carpentry, or those of colleagues and see how they use their tools, how they take care of them, how they classify them and so on.
4. Choose works or exhibitions from the last ten or fifteen years which in your opinion were very significant and explain why
I recognize the works and artists that I like to see when they exhibit, but I do not recall any showings that have seemed extremely remarkable to me.
5. What tendencies or groupings from common elements do you see in argentine art of the last ten or fifteen years?
There are two trends in Argentine art, that of "futbolization" of art and “family bingo”. The futbolization consists of the come out of every time younger artists (less prepared) and eager to run, break, and get naked. Another strong trend is the Family Bingo, where there are grandparents, parents, cousins, children and grandchildren, each one with his/her own participation in an exhibition traversed by the whim of a curator… and let the viewer be located anywhere.
