All we know of the vicissitudes of this adventure are fragments of letters, misplaced research and fictionalised writings. More than a century later, the Argentinean writer C\u00e9sar Aira published his version of the events for the first time. In the middle of the story, the author mentions that, at a certain point, this pair of travelling painters were suddenly enveloped in\u00a0<em>an air of an impossible distance<\/em>. Perhaps this\u00a0<em>air of distance<\/em>\u00a0had been moved by the kilometres that separated them from their place of origin. Or perhaps this\u00a0<em>air<\/em>, an invisible but quantifiable element, refers to the distance between the two painters and their environment, between their illustrations and their objects, or between the experience of the journey and the narration of it<\/p>\n<p><em>An air of distance<\/em> brings together in Il Posto the work of seven artists who share the air of displacement, uprooting and impermanence. Each of the works exhibited here is enveloped in its own narrative singularity rooted in the drive to wander. They strain, each in their own way, the modern conventions of the discovery of lands and civilisations as forms of domination and purification. The exhibition is therefore articulated as a brief spatial essay that raises questions about the construction of the identity and imaginary of our region through the work of artists who not only illustrate and narrate, but at the same time conflict with, the experience of human transhumance.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition is divided into three sections: the first presents the works of Chilean artists Juan D\u00e1vila (1846), Eugenio Dittborn (1943), and Nury Gonz\u00e1lez (1960); the second features works by German artist Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802\u20131858) and Venezuelan artist Christian Vinck (1978); and the third presents works by Mexican artist Teresa Margolles (1963) and Ecuadorian artist Adri\u00e1n Balseca (1989). Each of these sections takes the form of a fold in which a hypothesis that is revealed as a memory is addressed with singularity. The figure of the fold, which in this particular case comes from the practice and thinking of artist Eugenio Dittborn, allows us to imagine a scenario in which the places and times inscribed in these spaces collide, juxtapose, and invert each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An air of distance brings together at Il Posto the work of seven artists who share the air of displacement, uprooting, and impermanence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-5147","exposicion","type-exposicion","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
