“In the botanical world there is a beautiful phenomenon whereby the leafy tops of certain trees do not touch. They can intertwine their roots, but if we look up, we will find a canopy with perfectly complemented gaps where the light enters. At this natural poetry is known as the shyness of trees”, they indicated from the organization of the exhibition.
“Fronda” proposes “embracing these biological phenomena, understood as a necessary and urgent metaphor to claim cooperation. A work whose identity is the result of the whole and not of the individual parts: four artists, four women, four disciplines, giving birth to an arboreal ecosystem on paper”.
Thus, through different planes, the work as a whole aims to be a continuity between the outside and the inside of the glazed space where it will be mounted.
Speaking to Télam, Luciana Minerva -who uses the paper layering technique, which is the art of superimposing layers of paper- said that the exhibition will take place in the workshop of potter Charo Perelli, whom she described as “a perfect glass box, with nature behind and in front, on a street where there are practically no cars”.
“It is spectacular because there is no rush to contemplate, and there are no loudspeakers either. It is like an open-air art gallery,” he said, evaluating that “being able to witness a living work, in the middle of a neighborhood, is a prize”.
“Charo heads the ‘Surprise Box Project’, from which she invites the collective construction of the space we inhabit, and in particular, to question ourselves about how much we do, as individuals and citizens, to help improve our context,” continued Minerva.
He explained that in response to a call made by the owner of the workshop, the four artists contacted each other to give life to an installation that would see light in the spring “thinking about the underground network that generates all the flora, like a silent language in which everyone is connected”.
He argued that the four of them agreed to work individually on a collaborative work in which they aimed to combine a story with different techniques and made multiple disciplines coexist harmoniously.
“We worked on different proposals. Palette, styles, and materials so that the collective work could be seen respecting individualities. We liked this cyclical situation of the story, of raising a work in spring with an autumnal palette practically, of playing with that warmth by presenting bare branches sprouts, bushy crowns and an installation that gives an idea of the stages that trees go through, maintaining that language in common, their network, their beauty,” Luciana pointed out.
He pointed out that almost without realizing it “each one was contributing to the process of the other, enriching it” and specified that he always wanted “it to be an ethereal, light work, that could coexist spatially with all the nature that surrounds it, because of that it is, only a glass separates it”.
“As if we had made a poetic extract of a natural cycle of which we are all witnesses but we don’t always stop to look,” he said and considered that “we are used to naturalizing nature, and that is what we also wanted to emphasize.”
“So we took the dynamics of the trees, each one with its work, of intertwined roots and perfect complement, and we allowed the light to enter while respecting the expression of each one. It was a fluid and spectacular process, both from the creation and the management and the permanent communication between the four. Everything was a sum of value”, he continued and remarked that “for the experience to be complete, we wanted to make it in 8D to live it in a more immersive way”. With this intention, together with drummer Koki Sierra, they mixed sounds of nature with music, which will accompany the installation.
“It’s going to be a different afternoon, there will be wines to share and a fragment of the ecosystem stored in that window that we hope you enjoy as much as we do,” stressed Minerva and concluded: “We are fronda, a round of words, lines, photography, thinner, scalpels, pencils, needles, threads, scissors and above all paper. We are daughters of the tree”.
The exhibition can be visited for free from next Sunday until October 8 from 5:00 p.m. at Charo Perelli Taller, located at 496 No. 2573 e/20 and 21 streets in the town of Manuel B. Gonnet. From the organization they recommend those who plan to attend the exhibition “to bring their headphones, to immerse themselves in the work through the 8D experience”.
