- Souvenir: Encounters between Photography and TravelSouvenir: Encounters between Photography and Travel Souvenir: Encounters between Photography and Travel District Planetarium, Bogota, Colombia, 2006 Traveling has always maintained a close relationship with the need for visual search. With the industrial development of photography, this relationship was strengthened to the point that is currently impossible to separate the two activities: traveling and taking photographs. The word souvenir expresses the sense of that relationship: a souvenir is a memory, a testament to a place and time. While travelling, photography fulfils its most essential function. This exhibition includes a series of works that are born from this relationship of photography and travel through two conceptual lines. The first is to reflect on the photograph and the memory of the trip, and the second has to do with travel related photography.
- The Private UniverseThe Private Universe Curatorship proposal for Starting Point Contemporary Art Society and Leeds Art Gallery Of the many themes that run through the history of art, I find there are two tendencies that although parallel, point to opposite directions. One is the impulse to explore the outdoors, the love for the great landscape and the sublime. The other, also intertwined with art at its core is a disposition for indoor activities, the private, the intimate, and the precious. Reviewing the list of works from the Leeds Art Gallery collection it is perhaps this last strand that resonates on my mind. The objects and artworks in the collection make me think of the private universes of libraries and drawing rooms, and the time-consuming, meticulous occupations that take place therein. This curatorship proposal sets to explore the private universe behind the practices of art through a selection of works such as sketches, studies and annotations, and the objects and spaces that surround them.
