Isabel Croxatto Galería takes part in the 12th edition of PINTA MIAMI – Crossing Cultures, representing Chile at the Countries Section of the fair, to be held from 5 – 9 December at Mana Wynwood in Miami’s Art District.

 

Isabel Croxatto Galería’s proposal for Pinta Miami consists of a duo show featuring artists Andrea Lería (1980), presenting part of her series An Unfolding Portrait: Ghosts, the piece The Infinite Garden, and a site specific intervention; and Andrea Wolf (1979), showcasing her series Faces, Traces, digitally intervened found vintage portraits.

 

PINTA Countries Section will focus in five countries this year: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. Matías Allende (1990), young Chilean curator, has been appointed to curate the Chilean pavilion. His proposal De la geografía demente a lo telúrico [From the Demented Geography to the Telluric] focuses on the rhetoric of Chilean Nobel Prize poets Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda, suggesting an intrinsic relationship between the subjects and the landscape.

 

In his curatorial text, Allende explains: 'Since the landscape is always represented, it’s infiltrated in any action of the authors and their works, and the circulation of art must generate an earthquake that asks for our history, without it being defined by the construction of the piece'.

 

Isabel Croxatto Galería’s proposal focuses in the portrait as the survival of a speech that, even though it’s crossed by the memory, it reinforces the everyday space as well, speculating on the community space.

 

Andrea Lería's series An Unfolding Portrait: Ghosts researches the female genealogy of her family through fragmented paintings, drawings and video installations that challenge the viewer to fill the missing pieces, using only as a source images and objects collected from family archives.

 

Andrea Wolf's Faces, Traces explores the relationship between photography and identity, index and trace, in a series of videos using found vintage portraits that have been digitally manipulated, transcending the individual identities in lieu of collective rituals and shared cultural memories.
