soft . lipid . love is an installation by Catalina Barroso-Luque, exploring the permeable boundaries between self-self, self-other, self-object and self-technology.
About
The installation incorporates a pink gallery and a series of silicon organs, endowed with a syrupy oral pulse, to which the audience can connect onto. The organs’ internal recursive throbbing plays with how synthetic feminized bodies are both productive and reproductive.The exhibition opens on Friday, March 23rd and will run onto April 8th.
soft . lipid . love has been kindly supported by Civic Room (Glasgow).
Catalina Barroso-Luque is a Glasgow based Mexican artist. Her work probes into how text and technology traverse her body and that of those around her. This entails experimenting with the voice’s psychosomatic tones within writing and audio recording, and through the construction of sculptural objects and installations that establish a direct corporeal and spatial correspondence with the viewer/listener.
