Bailando en la oscuridad (Dancing in the dark)

Bailando en la oscuridad (Dancing in the dark) Curated by Aurélie Vandewynckele In conversation with the peculiar context of these past months, Bailando en la oscuridad reflects upon the relationships existing in the most intimate places of our daily lives: the body and the room. This exhibition brings together five artists whose works survey the plurality of voices inhabiting can take, setting forth the possibility of the room-body, inhabited-body and habitable-body. Imagining an artificial night, one navigates the interior of this body-place as a condition of creation, its darkness becoming the space and time for the transformation of the real. From this intimacy, the pursuit of both poetry and emancipation from the pictorial discipline are born, where the supports and techniques favor the accidental and the fragile. In this way, the tensions that exist as a substrate under the works manifest themselves, revealing states of mind and of discord. Artists: Verónica Bapé, Nicole Chaput, Tahanny Lee Betancourt, Gabriel Rosas Alemán, Alejandra Venegas.
