About
N PRAISE OF MAGIC
pop up exhibition
organized by PARADICE PALASE members Maria Liebana & Sandra Lapage
7/09 - 7/11
In Praise of Magic presents the work of six Latin American artists scattered across the Americas: Mônica Lóss (Brazil/USA), Vanessa Feitag (Brazil/Mexico), Maria de los Vientos (Colombia/Brazil), Jimena Schlaepfer (Mexico), María Yolanda Liebana (United States) and Sandra Lapage (Brazil). This group of artists is interested in the contemplation of cosmogonies, incorporations, ornamentation, tactile sensuality, and involvement in wearable sculptures. All get engulfed, in a way, in the materiality of their creations to access different spheres, exemplifying the creative process as shamanic, in an attempt to diminish the separation between mind and universe, individual and nature.
These bodies of work present art process as shamanic practice and trance as a source of knowledge, considering diversified epistemologies and ancestralities without falling into superstition, resisting dogmas which seem to be taking humanity to a disillusioned path.
The exhibition consists of photography, free standing sculpture, hanging sculpture, wall sculpture, woven paper and video projection.
