Alejandra Laviada: Entanglement

ALEJANDRA LAVIADA
ENTANGLEMENT

Entanglement is about the act of making art and confronting yourself in the process; about wrestling with one’s own inner demons, in art and in life. The series (2022-2023) comprises a video piece and a series of sculptures made of rubber foam, rope, fiber glass and resin.

The sculptures are a direct reference to John Chamberlain’s Foam Sculptures, made in the 1960’s and among his lesser known bodies of work. Like Chamberlain, Laviada has a strong interest in creating sculptures using everyday objects and discarded materials, but for Laviada, these works are not only about form and materiality, but also about the act and process of creating them.

In the video piece, titled ‘Wrestling with my demons’, the artist is seen ‘wrestling’ with a life-size foam mattress, trying to tame and give form to this supple, everyday object using only her body and a rope. At times she succeeds, others she fails, until eventually creating a sculpture made from bending, folding, tying and sculpting the material with her body weight and a rope. The process becomes like a performance, and we act as voyeurs into the intimate and often physical aspect of making art. Laviada is wrestling with the illusion and impossibility of control, using a material that will go back to its natural form the moment the rope is undone.
