Elizabeth Xi Bauer announces the upcoming group exhibition The Immortal. Featuring works by Caroline Achaintre, Lorena Ancona, Tonico Lemos Auad, Dan Coopey, Marta Jakobovits and Antonio Pichillá.
About
The title is in reference to a homonymous tale in Jorge Luis Borges’ The Aleph (1949) which follows a man who accidentally obtained immortality – then struggles to lose it, as he lives through the centuries. The artists featured in The Immortal focus on vernacular techniques and the non-written information generations choose to retain to pass on to the next. Contemporary conflicts as well as the pandemic have brought to the public conscience the importance of identifying both how we consume and create and the fundamental significance of being able to take agency of various aspects of life, such as agriculture, art and craft.
All the six artists on show come from different parts of the Americas and Europe. Some of them live and work in their native countries, whilst others have chosen to reside in a country which is not their birthplace. However, the shared value they place on craft techniques link their practices.
The exhibition is curated by Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes
