Tomorrow, Tuesday at 7 pm, the Instituto Cultural de México inaugurates El Silencio Sedimenta, an individual exhibition by the artist Vanessa Enríquez, which offers an intimate look at her most recent work through six literary fragments.
Each of these fragments dialogues with the exhibited pieces, revealing connections between language, materiality and introspective processes that characterize his artistic practice.
Starting from an interest in the line and its spatial possibilities, he has worked with VHS magnetic tape for almost a decade, because he has found in this material the intermediary that has allowed him to transform the two-dimensional line into a sculptural element. It is a matter of investigating a material, a texture, a technique, but without having an objective, a specific final result, but to be carried away by the work itself. It is often a slow and thorough process, between obsession and meditation. A gestural mantra.
Vanessa Enríquez is a Mexican visual artist whose practice focuses on expanded drawing, exploring the physical, conceptual and sonic dimensions of silence, time and repetition. His education includes a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the Yale School of Art (2000) and a Degree in Graphic Design from the Universidad Iberoamericana (1998). For more than two decades, his work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and contemporary art institutions in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
