Interrogating Systems:CIFO 2008 Grants and Commissions Exhibition

25 Apr, 2008 - 22 Jun, 2008
The diverse and complex themes in the exhibition are explored with experimental and exciting forms of drawing, installation, painting and video. The two mid-career Commission Program artists Pablo Cardoso and Federico Herrero present large scale painting installations; Cardoso on the 鈥榝ictions` related to representing landscape, and Herrero who proposes a dialectical exchange between the spheres of high art painting and popular painting as it is found in urban developments. As with all of CIFO`s Grants and Commissions Program exhibitions, the artists chosen do not respond to a curatorial structure. There is, nevertheless, a common practice of questioning, enquiry and transgression in all the artists participating in this show. This practice may take the form of a subtle and complex contextual social critique such is the case of Johanna Calle, Jonathan Harker and Moris. While others like Federico Herrero, Mateo L贸pez, Amilcar Lucien Packer Yessouroun and Francisco Vald茅s examine and question established notions of normality and common sense. Pablo Cardoso, Daniel Medina and Luis Romero propose new forms of cartographies that embrace the paradoxes of representing reality. In addition Alejandro Almanza Pereda and 脥caro Zorbar S谩nchez Laverde contemplate the precariousness and fragility of objects.
