30 April, 23 May
18-20h
As an extension of her exhibition “Me tocaste la nariz y perdí todo”, Cristina Reyes will complete sculptural works at Galería ATC. Working with ceramics and found objects, Reyes will mimic the process of the video performances she produces in the solitude of her studio, but this time in a public space. As part of her personal presentation, Reyes will assume an artistic persona that blurs the line between creator and that which is created. By applying makeup and engaging in other modes of disguise, she emphasizes her own state of “work-in-progress”. These sessions may become ephemeral artefacts of her object work, or works in and of themselves.
Each session will last two hours. Apart from the planned sessions, visitors can find the artist working on the pieces spontaneously throughout the duration of the exhibition, outside the constraints of predetermined times and dates. Visitors are invited to attend and observe her artistic practice, but will be instructed to refrain from speaking or interacting with the artist and each other.
The temporary complete suspension of sound serves to create a distraction-free ambiance, where people can enter and leave at any moment during the session. By creating in silence–a performative exposure of an internal process– Reyes amplifies her vulnerability and the solitary labor that never quite finishes.
