LISTE 2014
Group Exhibition
Room 0/3 Place G2
Basel, Switzerland
Proyectos Ultravioleta is pleased to present a variety of artists from Latin America focusing on experimental practices that encompass painting, sculpture, installation, and performance. Grouped around notions of animism, the relationship with nature, spirituality, and non-rational knowledge, the exhibition for the 2014 edition of Liste includes works by Regina José Galindo, Federico Herrero, Jesús “Bubu” Negrón, Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa, and Radamés “Juni” Figueroa. In a time where a vast change of paradigm seems to be taking place, understanding how these ideas and perceptions about a potential new world might be affecting artistic practice seems particularly relevant. The project by Proyectos Ultravioleta attempts to claim the importance these practices, both as art and knowledge, have in today’s world and question the hegemony that rational thought has had for at least the past three centuries.
In this context, Regina José Galindo’s performance Tierra refers to the communal graves in which the victims of the Guatemalan long-lasting civil war were buried through gesture that defies the digger, an external force that breaks the otherwise peaceful landscape. Renowned Costa Rican artist Federico Herrero presents two large scale paintings, a duo loosely inspired by the idea of yin-yang and which acknowledges the complementarity of apparent opposites while experimenting with his usual fields of color. Jesus “Bubu” Negron’s draws from the Caribbean folk tradition to create his mask sculptures, possible representations of gods, humans and other creatures, while Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa’s performance sees him attempt a transformation into a bird by piercing his own back and arms with feathers as if to fly away and enter in communion with other species, form this time and others before this. Bridging the gap between art and nature, Radamés “Juni” Figueroa’s paintings take their colours from the Eucalyptus deglupta, a variety of the common species with a unique multi hued bark.
