The body as Territory
The exhibition proposes a selection of 20 works in different media that, as a whole, rethink the idea of the body in tension with the physical space, and the territorialization in which the construction of personal identity is framed.
The exhibition called ¨The body as territory¨ produced for the Female voices of Latin America exhibition, consists in 20 works with the artworks of four Bolivian women, Raquel Schwartz, Alejandra Alarcón, Guiomar Mesa and Claudia Joskowicz, who reflect the tensions between space and its inflection in individual identity.
The show includes very important works to the context of Bolivian art, such as the instalation SOMOS by the artist Raquel Schwartz, the documentation of a intervention in the base of the monument in the main square of the city of Santa Cruz, the work which covers the base of the monument with mirrors, not only adorns and turns the sculpture into a friendly place for the public of the city, but also puts in tension, the reality of the daily life of the city, and contrasts it with the monument, the history that the politics decided to promote and the urban landscape.
The video ¨Drawn and Quartered¨ by video artist Claudia Joskowicz, a pan of a postmodern representation of the torture and death of the indigenous leader Tupac Amaru, an indigenous who led the first indian revolution during the spanish colonization in actual bolivian territory, and which has remained as a milestone in the struggle for equality of rights in the country. The panning that slowly runs through the scene, cannot avoid showing the colonial landscape as a pillar of impact within the action of the video.
The series of oil paintings “sea of salt” by the artist Guiomar Mesa, are not only hyper-realistic representations of Uyuni´s salt lake, one of the regions more easily identifiable touristic sites in Bolivia, but these paintings in the context, not only are framed on the edge of pictorial abstraction, but also insist on a representation of a white territory, full of textures and lights, generating a somewhat confusing representation of reality, and the way in which it is represented through painting.The series of oil paintings “sea of salt” by the artist Guiomar Mesa, are not only hyper-realistic representations of Uyuni´s salt lake, one of the regions more easily identifiable touristic sites in Bolivia, but these paintings in the context, not only are framed on the edge of pictorial abstraction, but also insist on a representation of a white territory, full of textures and lights, generating a somewhat confusing representation of reality, and the way in which it is represented through painting.
Alejandra Alarcón, far from the spacial representations like the rest of the artists, proposes to look at the body and its representation as a territory of experiences that is going to define it within, as in the work, "tamer of wolves" in which with a clear reference to children's stories, the artist creates a space-time in which the tamer overpower a group of wolves that are prostrate at her feet.
This exhibition is an excellent look at current Bolivian art production and the strength and power of its creators.
