ADRIANA LARA
Scryyns and Interesting Theories
27 January - 3 March, 2012
Adriana LARA is wedded to the screen before the image appears, even. Pure formats in which the information is hold ; of whose projective dimension the artist makes the most, literally. Appropriating the screen's materiality as conduit: message-free, rechanneled, the medium changes qualities. Wall paintings have been created out of radically diluted pigments, greens, blues, the same ones used for her chroma keys compositing. Here, though, they give rise to no uniform dispersal; rather to incomplete screens on which no image can be projected in its totality.
In the exhibition the screen is also present in a cylindrical form, emancipated from flatness. At once paintings and sculptures, these works become prototypes that leave the mind scope for other image uses.
The screen: rather than a window for accessing the world, Adriana Lara apprehends it as a curtain, a projection surface.
Also on display are "Plasma Paintings". Diagrams from which emerge "Interesting Theories", forms born of the intersection of earlier intersections of forms. Thus making the series the equivalent of a generative principle, analogous to the mode of production of the theories themselves.
«Scryyns and Intersesting Theories» introduces groundless representations, signs without referents, pure messages.
Adriana LARA ( born in 1978) lives and works in Mexico City. Her works have been on show at Gaga Fine Arts in Mexico, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake, the Basel Kunsthalle, the Palais de Tokyo, and the Galeria Comercial Puerto Rico... She founded Perros Negros, a curatorial project with Fernando Mesta as well as Lasser Moderna, a musical project with Emilio Acevedo.
