Within the Art in the City cycle, promoted by the Estación San Martín Cultural Center (Spain and Mitre), this afternoon at 7 p.m. with the artistic intervention of Josefina Mazzanti Nacif, the 18 Mundos collective will inaugurate Transition, a novel and risky proposal with the aim of breaking structures. These are 17 visual artists, they are: Adriana Carbajal, Agostina Hebilla, Arturo Sierra, Beatriz del Bono, Cristian Fischer, Estela Milan, Graciela Manzano Aguil, Humberto Costa, Jorge Marún, Marcela Herrera, Marcelo Uliarte, María Estela Aballay, Pablo Henriquez, Silvia Blanco, Marisa Alaníz and Vanesa Sarracina.
“We are not necessarily looking for a unity, nor a coherent story nor a decodable message, adventure is the watchword. This puts us outside the comfort zone, takes us to a zone of banishment from the predictable without leaving aside our personal iconography. We have reflected in our works, from our perspectives, a reality born in a sacred place…The creative soul of the artists,” stated Arturo Sierra, author of the curatorial text of the exhibition, which was curated by Graciela Faedo with the collaboration by Adriana Carbajal and Estela Milan with the objective that the gallery has to be visited again with different eyes.
“18 Mundos always has the particularity of innovating, in terms of what is set up and the activity that will be generated during the time it is open to the public. And it is called Transition, because it will be a transition between one work and another. Each artist will present two large pieces, which will be divided into a lower part and an upper part with a correlation between the two. Here, once the assembly is done, one of the parts will change, transit or mutate, by attaching its lower part to the work of the artist next to it, breaking into his field, in a process of deconstruction, generating new views and a third creation,” Faedo mentioned to DIARIO DE CUYO to highlight the transitive nature of the project that will start from an abstract character and end in figuration, and vice versa.
“It will be a really interactive exhibit. On the night of the opening, the public and the authorities present will be able to make that transition that we intend to be in motion through different programmed activities, according to a certain order and taking into account the technical aspect of the assembly. Always with the help of the building authorities,” stressed Graciela, as a participant and curator of this collection that will mutate every 10 days with the intention of returning it to its original state in one last tour.
On the other hand; The curator stated that, jointly, each creator will present 4 works, measuring 40 x 2 meters. “that will produce a launch of another form of transition, in a block whose objective will be to enhance the work of the colleague,” he added as another of the singularities that this group that has already been in the environment for 5 years, mutating and adding new colleagues, will show, “which also has to do with the transition,” he reflected without leaving aside “its relationship with the history that marks us San Juan residents through the celebration of the founding of San Juan.”
