Pensativas y cargadas de poderosos comentarios sociopol\u00edticos, las obras de Santos y Qui\u00f1ones comparten un inter\u00e9s por construir una comprensi\u00f3n particular de la isla en la que crecieron y viven actualmente. Al explorar la historia y su relaci\u00f3n con la memoria colectiva, los objetos, la representaci\u00f3n y la inevitable mezcla del pasado con el presente, los dos artistas ofrecen una visi\u00f3n de Puerto Rico desde dentro.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Llenas de reverencia por el mundo natural, las pinturas gestuales y expresivas\u00a0 de Santos combinan los paisajes de Puerto Rico con una exploraci\u00f3n de su historia invisibilizada y la realidad de vivir en la isla. Por otro lado, la exploraci\u00f3n de Qui\u00f1ones tambi\u00e9n se centra en analizar la historia y contrastarla con la memoria. Al investigar varios aspectos de las culturas ancestrales que conforman su identidad, Qui\u00f1ones se interesa por tender un puente entre el pasado y el presente, creando formas que yuxtaponen artefactos hist\u00f3ricos con elementos de la realidad contempor\u00e1nea. Fomentando un di\u00e1logo que nos reconecta con lo olvidado, lo abandonado o lo que puede entenderse como los restos hist\u00f3ricos de la memoria, sus esculturas permiten que la imaginaci\u00f3n tome vuelo \u2014fusionando as\u00ed lo reconocible y lo irreconocible. Sus tel\u00e9fonos de concha fungen como dispositivos de comunicaci\u00f3n al servicio del conocimiento intuitivo que constantemente emerge desde dentro.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Una canci\u00f3n que surge del mar parece resonaren la galer\u00eda. Las pinturas de Santos miran hacia afuera a trav\u00e9s de paisajes sublimes del Caribe o hacia adentro a momentos espec\u00edficos de la historia de la isla. Mientras que las esculturas de Qui\u00f1ones resaltan la importancia o significado de objetos particulares, rastreando su eco en el presente. Insulares y expansivas, las pinturas de Santos son a la vez locales y universales, con el pintor paisajista rom\u00e1ntico alem\u00e1n Caspar David Friedrich o el artista franc\u00e9s Pierre Bonnard compartiendo la misma importancia entre sus referencias a la del pintor puertorrique\u00f1o Rafael Ferrer o el compositor local Ismael Rivera. De manera similar, Qui\u00f1ones explora el archivo cultural de sus antecesores \u200b\u200bmientras toma inspiraci\u00f3n de artistas posmodernos como Jean-Michel Basquiat y Andy Warhol como modelos para la apropiaci\u00f3n cr\u00edtica de las im\u00e1genes, o de Andr\u00e9 Breton y otros en t\u00e9rminos de formulaci\u00f3n y presentaci\u00f3n de objetos aparentemente surrealistas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Conectados con Puerto Rico a trav\u00e9s del arte, la poes\u00eda y la m\u00fasica, Santos y Qui\u00f1ones observan de manera voyeurista sus experiencias enla isla. Al estudiar la producci\u00f3n art\u00edstica puertorrique\u00f1a y a su vez tomar en cuenta la historia del arte \u2014que inevitablemente incluye representaciones europeas del Caribe como Otro\u2014 se reapropian de las herramientas para la creaci\u00f3n de im\u00e1genes y llegan a una comprensi\u00f3n local de la historia, la memoria y el lugar. Subvirtiendo as\u00ed las narrativas impuestas en la isla y buscando empoderar a los residentes de Puerto Rico y m\u00e1s all\u00e1. Tomado prestado de la canci\u00f3n &#8216;Si Te Contara&#8217; de Ismael Rivera, el t\u00edtulo de la exposici\u00f3n resume su relaci\u00f3n con el mar. Una relaci\u00f3n que activa experiencias pasadas, impulsa la creaci\u00f3n, los conecta con una conciencia colectiva y se traduce en un deseo de profundizar en el misterio de vivir rodeado de agua; que presenta una amenaza y al mismo tiempo protege. Un cuerpo de agua que purifica y act\u00faa como recept\u00e1culo de la memoria.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>LLEG\u00d3 A MI ALMA, SURGI\u00d3 EN MI MEMORIA<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Armig Santos &amp; Kiv\u00e1n Qui\u00f1ones<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe job of the artist is always<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0to deepen the mystery\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Francis Bacon<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Armig Santos\u2019 contemplative Caribbean landscapes converse with Kiv\u00e1n Qui\u00f1ones\u2019 found object sculptures in <em>LLEG\u00d3 A MI ALMA, SURGI\u00d3 EN MI MEMORIA<\/em>; transporting the viewer into a territory rife with emotion and impregnated with memory. Quietly pensive and yet charged with powerful socio-political commentary, Santos and Qui\u00f1ones share an interest in piecing together a particular understanding of the island where they grew up and currently live through their works. Exploring history and its relationship to collective memory, objecthood, representation, and the inevitable intermingling of past and present, they offer a view of Puerto Rico from the inside out.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Full of reverence for the natural world, Santos\u2019 gestural and expressive paintings combine the landscapes of Puerto Rico with an exploration of its obscured histories as well as\u00a0 the reality of life on the island. On a similar note, Qui\u00f1ones\u2019 exploration centers around analyzing history and contrasting it to memory. While investigating various aspects of the ancestral cultures that inform his identity, Qui\u00f1ones attempts to bridge past and present by creating forms that juxtapose historic artifacts with elements of contemporary reality. Fostering a dialogue that reconnects us with the forgotten, abandoned, or what can be understood as the historic debris of memory, his sculptures allow imagination to take flight \u2014thus fusing the recognizable and unrecognizable. The seashell phones acting as communication devices at the service of the intuitive knowledge that constantly emerges from within.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A song from the sea seems to reverberate throughout the gallery, with Santos\u2019 paintings looking outwards onto sublime Caribbean landscapes or inwards towards specific moments from the island\u2019s history; while Qui\u00f1ones\u2019 sculptures highlight the significance or meaning of particular objects, tracing their echo in the present. Insular and expansive, Santos\u2019 paintings are both local and universal, with German Romantic landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich or French artist Pierre Bonnard sharing equal weight among his references to that of Puerto Rican painter Rafael Ferrer or local composer Ismael Rivera. Similarly, Qui\u00f1ones mines the cultural archive of his ancestors whilst looking to Post-Modern artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol as models for the critical appropriation of imagery,\u00a0 or at Andr\u00e9 Breton and others in terms of formulating and presenting seemingly surreal objects.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Connected to Puerto Rico via art, poetry and music, Santos and Qui\u00f1ones voyeuristically look at existence on the island through their works. Making a study of Puertorican artistic production and taking into account the history of art \u2014which inevitably includes European depictions of the Caribbean as <em>Other<\/em>\u2014 they reappropriate the tools of image-making and come up with a local understanding of history, memory and place. Thus subverting the narratives imposed on the island and seeking to empower the residents of Puerto Rico and beyond. Sourced from Ismael Rivera\u2019s\u00a0 song \u2018Si Te Contara\u2019, the exhibition\u2019s title encapsulates their relationship with the sea \u2014one that activates past experiences, pushes forward creation, connects them to a collective consciousness, and translates into a deep desire to deepen into the mystery of living surrounded by water, which is both guardian and menace. A body of water that washes away whilst simultaneously acting as a receptacle of memory.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armig Santos &amp; Kiv\u00e1n Qui\u00f1ones \u201cEl trabajo del artista siempre es \u00a0ahondar en el misterio\u201d Francis Bacon Los paisajes caribe\u00f1os [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":25847,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"featured_event":"","duracion_evento":""},"etiquetas-de-evento":[506,1636,1623],"ubicacion-de-evento":[479,478],"categoria-de-evento":[1628,1631],"class_list":["post-25846","eventos","type-eventos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","etiquetas-de-evento-artes-visuales","etiquetas-de-evento-escultura-artes-visuales","etiquetas-de-evento-pintura-artes-visuales","ubicacion-de-evento-cdmx","ubicacion-de-evento-mexico","categoria-de-evento-exposicion","categoria-de-evento-galeria-exposicion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eventos\/25846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eventos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/eventos"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/129"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"etiquetas-de-evento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiquetas-de-evento?post=25846"},{"taxonomy":"ubicacion-de-evento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ubicacion-de-evento?post=25846"},{"taxonomy":"categoria-de-evento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria-de-evento?post=25846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
