Dada las Circunstancias

Curator: Silvia Benedetti

Artists: Valerie Brathwaite, Gabriel Chaile, Livia Corona, Renata del Riego, Pierre Dumont, Patricia Esquivias, Dolores Furtado, Trevor King, Cristobal Lehyt, Margarita Mora, and Gabriela Vainsencher

Date: September 29th - October 28th 2023

Opening Reception: October 3rd, 6-8pm. Due to weather conditions this Opening Reception has been moved to October 3rd, 6-8pm

Gallery: Abrazo Gallery

Since prehistoric cultures, the properties of certain materials - such as stones, clay, metals, and glass - have been used to manufacture utilitarian objects and buildings that are more durable than precarious. In a way, these objects and constructions defied the human life cycle, since in many cases they lasted much longer than the average life span of a human being. Dadas las circunstancias [Considering the Given Facts]  presents a selection of works that narrate or reconstruct stories, experiences, situations, or traditions that the artists attempt to make endure over time. The idea is to present the tension and fragility that exists between the materials and the stories that try to last but in the end, everything fades away. 

Artists with date of birth where they live/ work:

Valerie Brathwaite (b. 1940, San Fernando, Trinidad, lives and work in Caracas), Gabriel Chaile (b. 1985, San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, lives and work in Lisboa), Livia Corona (b. 1975, Ensenada, Mexico, lives and work in New York), Renata del Riego (b. Mexico City, raised in Tijuana and lives in New York), Pierre Dumont (b. 1958, Lieja, Belgium, lives and work in Caracas), Patricia Esquivias (b. 1979, Caracas, lives and work in Madrid), Dolores Furtado (b. 1977, Buenos Aires, lives and work in New York), Lucy Mullican (b. 1994, New York, lives and work in New York), Margarita Mora, (b. 1935, Mitibibó, Venezuela lives and work in Mucuchies, Venezuela), Gabriela Vainsencher (b. Buenos Aires, raised in Tel Aviv, and lives in Montclair) and Christian Vink (b. 1978, Maracaibo, Venezuela, lives and work in Madrid)

Sympoietic

Artist: Sabrina Merayo-Nuñez

Curator: Tara Rhoda

Date: September 29th - November 15th

Opening Reception: October 3rd, 6-8pm. Due to weather conditions this Opening Reception has been moved to October 3rd, 6-8pm

Gallery: 3rd Floor Project Space

Sympoietic is a solo installation of bioplastic light sculptures by Sabrina Merayo Nuñez. As visitors move through the space, motion sensors activate the sculptures. Agar bubbles and roots create a microbiome that will evolve over the course of the exhibition. Sabrina generates a series of co-created events within these cocoons and nests.

The processes of nature, the human capacity to manage them and the technologies that have become mediators between them are three axes that Sabrina Merayo Nunez is interested in exploring and bringing together in her work. She think of tools and technology as extensions of our own perception (could we also say of our own humanity?): lenses, machines, biotechnology, AI, programming, allow us to expand our senses and capacities of understanding and modify the world we live in, pushing us to question the materiality of our own physicality. 

How can we create art and life through these complex intersections?

The Clemente and The Flux Factory Rhizome Project present visionary work from a range of artists working in and through collective action, creating solidarity networks that facilitate different ways of being with one another. We asked the artists to respond to the following set of questions: How, as a collective, do you center the work of building and sustaining communities? In what ways does your collective support others to surThrive?  How have you activated creativity in your world? Who are the people of your collective and community?

Through the alchemy of intention, AnAkA’s multimedia practice reconnects the Self to ancient wisdoms severed from personal and collective bloodlines. Since 2012, AnAkA has cultivated an ethnographic project entitled AKTIV8: an original archive of photos, films, music, dance, tattoos and herbal creations. AKTIV8 is created with the intention to document and strengthen the heartbeat of the Afro Indigenous movements, practices and rituals of our current time. In order to share and exchange this cultivation of sacred wisdom, AKTIV8 archive presents itself as shapeshifting experiential portals: a physical space woven with AKTIV8 sounds, movement and visuals.

Denae Howard is A Brooklyn-based Conceptual artist, educator, curator and advisor. At the moment she is solely a collaborative artist. Working with her cooperative #Dayonesart and other Black creatives invested in making work that forces necessary conversation. Her work is a coded-guide that promotes discussions that reveal the similarities and differences in the way individuals’ experience systems. Her practice stems from a need to create space and conversation around the systems that govern our natural existence. As a visual artist and contributor to culture she feels it is imperative to create art that reflects cognitive, emotional and social pedagogy. Her works are re-appropriations of negative archetypes and stereotypes to reclaim and transcend positive meaning for Black people. But also re-imaginings of the limitless opportunities of Black Existence.

This creates a rich viewer experience as the eye uncovers the multiple layers. Dennis was the 2020 Black Utopian Fellow.

For two years Yanni had a podcast called "Soul Rebel Podcast" centering Black artists, healers, and grassroots organizers, allowing them to speak on their work and their life journey that led to where they are in the present. Yanni is the 2022- 2023 Black Utopian Fellow.

Through the alchemy of intention, AnAkA’s multimedia practice reconnects the Self to ancient wisdoms severed from personal and collective bloodlines. Since 2012, AnAkA has cultivated an ethnographic project entitled AKTIV8: an original archive of photos, films, music, dance, tattoos and herbal creations. AKTIV8 is created with the intention to document and strengthen the heartbeat of the Afro Indigenous movements, practices and rituals of our current time. In order to share and exchange this cultivation of sacred wisdom, AKTIV8 archive presents itself as shapeshifting experiential portals: a physical space woven with AKTIV8 sounds, movement and visuals.

As a visual artist and contributor to culture she feels it is imperative to create art that reflects cognitive, emotional and social pedagogy.
