Diogo Pimentao: Screening Matter
SCHLEICHER/LANGE is delighted to be presenting a solo show by Diogo 笔颈尘别苍迟茫辞 for which the
artist has created new works.
Typically, Diogo 笔颈尘别苍迟茫辞鈥檚 works involve drawing, sculpture, performance and conceptional approaches. Normally, paper is employed to convey information and is consequently a means to an end and disappears behind or beneath the actual information, such as writing or drawing. But for Diogo 笔颈尘别苍迟茫辞 it is an equal and equally valid element and carrying medium. The artist goes beyond the borders of the medium drawing not only by transferring it from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional and has drawing become sculpture, but also by orchestrating drawing as performance. 笔颈尘别苍迟茫辞 pinches, folds and unfolds the paper sometimes resorting to physical exertion. The artist not only conducts this performative exploration using paper and graphite and repetitive gestures in his studio but sometimes presents them directly to a live audience of a show in a kind of choreography. This physical and spatial experience of drawing aims to explore material, plumb its borders but also to master the material and take possession of space.
笔颈尘别苍迟茫辞鈥檚 work process is an essential part of his work and not simply a means to an end intended to achieve the perfect solution. It often leaves behind visible traces: Alongside sharp edges, smearing and 铿乶gerprints remain visible as he deviates from the traditional handling of paper using a pencil. Instead, he uses graphite 鈥� either as graphite dust or in solid form-, which is really more of a waste product from the drawing process, as the basic material in his artistic work,
sometimes applying it with his hands and 铿乶gers. As such, the traces of his identity are inscribed into his work. In his abstract works they are frequently the only 鈥渋nformation鈥�, which the observer receives by way of help him to decode or decipher the work.
