CarrerasMugica is pleased to present WOOLLEN BODY. REHACER FUNDIDO ENCADENADO, first solo exhibition by Azucena Vieites at the gallery.

→ Azucena Vieites

The work that Azucena Vieites has been developing to date consists of approaching contemporary visual culture through image editing techniques that attempt to represent a memory in relation to a present time whose intensity will gradually fade. Multiplicity, fragment or repetition as a rupture with respect to the absolute image and linear forms of narration or the ephemeral and processual nature of the work are highlighted as relevant aspects in her production.

 

Woollen Body. Rehacer Fundido encadenado, the title of the proposal shown at Carreras Múgica, consists of a set of silkscreen prints and a series of collages. The resource of silkscreen printing makes it possible to translate images and thus obtain a version, a new look at them. It also makes it possible to think about the idea of the original, the copy, the unique, serialised or reproducible work in a process that seeks to provoke strangeness. The silkscreen prints, with a low-fi aesthetic, made in black ink on paper, contrast with the smaller collages, made with coloured cardboard. The grouping or installation of all this material in the gallery's studio room, which revolves around questions that she has already been working on (quotation, appropriation, interventions on the idea of the original and the copy, DIY culture, gender politics and feminist thought, amongst others) aims to generate an appropriate atmosphere, or as precise as possible, for its viewing, along the lines of what the German filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger commented: ‘For me every film has a certain form that has to do with the colours, with the time, with the dramatic structure, with the way the images are put together. So I work on every film to find a suitable form.
