"The other day, someone showed me an Aztec or Mayan poem, which says something like 'we don't come to live but to sleep, brother.' - Victor Grippo"


"A device measures internal impulses, the vital phenomenon of two potatoes, the natural force of an apparently inanimate element as absurdly common as fertile (Time, Victor Grippo, 1991). Similar to the unexpressive and robotic materiality of a consciousness, which seems to have learned by copying and from memory, while reconfiguring the elements of language, probing the reinvention of idealistic vacancies with a vocation to inquire into the human condition (I'M WITH YOU IN ROCKLAND, Karl Holmqvist, 2005).


Close by, eight cloned structures collect moisture on papers that, being used and curved by it over time, test the capabilities of matter to organize itself and reveal in the soft, the origin of all things disposed to transformation (Hygrometers, Pablo Accinelli, 2012). Lastly, the liquid state of the ink is halted on the surface of three drawings, accentuating, beyond the action of the material author, the inherent energy of the image and contingency (Untitled, 2013 and Rip Curly, Nicolás Sarmiento, 2013).


These works externalize a latent moment of consciousness in which skepticism and enthusiasm meet amidst the most pessimistic forecasts of human future. They account for possible disappointments as much as for infinite opportunities to not impoverish reality, residing between zero and one. They deny as much as they affirm their relationship with the spectator and the world without romanticizing. Their reserved intensity awakens the elemental dynamics of curiosity among people and objects, between the imaginary and the real."
