El entramado del paisaje

Exposición Ana Teresa Barboza. Tejer las piedras, MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires), exhibida entre el 8 de abril y el 29 de agosto de 2022.

Abstract

Exploring the potential synergies, the reciprocal contributions and the dialogues that can arise between different ways of producing knowledge about nature and the territory, as art and geography, constitutes a stimulating challenge. If we think of landscape as a hybrid, double concept that refers simultaneously to both a material reference and its representation, we can open up our interpretations of it towards new paths. The referent and its representation are reciprocally constructed, they feed each other in a continuous process. The different perspectives on landscapes enrich our understanding: they give them complexity, they account for their fragmentation, the dynamics of their configuration and the historicity of the processes that constitute them. And if we add to that a refined and subtle artistic technique to capture the vision and perception of the landscape, we find ourselves with a work that undoubtedly stimulates reflection on space through artistic appreciation. Ana Teresa Barboza (Lima, 1981) is a Peruvian artist with an exquisite sensitivity to record the landscape and the environment. The Weaving the Stones exhibition, held at the Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires (MALBA) between April and August 2022, presents a series of works that condense a large amount of ancestral knowledge about the environment and numerous craft techniques, inviting us to think about territory, communities and landscapes in permanent transformation, always changing and under construction.
