The End. And…

July 23rd-August 22nd, 2009

Frederico Sève Gallery/latincollector proudly presents The End. And…, a subjective documentary show. Why subjective documentary? Because reality is inevitably altered and reshaped during the various processes of documentation. Because, representation is by nature never democratic. Because when multiple subjectivities are represented in arenas of free expression and artistic production, history becomes a constant current event; we enter into an eternal state of becoming, full of surprise and life. Subjectivity is more than
a given, it is a frontier.

Previously, history was written by the victors. Today it is being documented and posted immediately via the internet from a bystander’s mobile phone. These artists: Elly Clarke, Suely Farhi, Livia Flores, Anna Bella Geiger, Daniel Leeb, Carlos Motta, Sebastián Patané Masuelli, Christine Schulz, Adriana Varella, Alex Villar, Jonathan Villoch & Alex Lopez, all work within this contemporary situation. Their orientation to the viewer is a self-aware understanding that their documentations of reality are now potentially as substantial as
they were previously tenuous. Some of them scale ineptitudes of wholeness by bypassing semblances of “real” altogether and veering off into landscapes of the unconscious. While others, through the use of collaboration, interviews and artifacts create platforms for multiple authors; and thus, multiple points of view.

The modes of production are as varied as the methodologies employed. Photography, performance, podcast, painting, installation, video, film and digitally recorded accounts of events are all employed to articulate subjectivity.

The End. And… celebrates a broad definition of documentary where fact and fiction exist on the same line, as opposed to on different sides of it. Sometimes, the self is alone contemplating reality as it is descends upon the senses and passes through the imagination. At other times the self is social and engaged in attempts to navigate reality by mediating through language.

Co-curated by Leo Kuelbs, Angela Freiberger and Michelle Heinz.

The End. And… opens on July 23, 2009 6-9pm at Frederico Seve Gallery/latincollector.

The Digital Path To Analog Love:
4: Staring at the Ceiling

This is the fourth of a series of video installations that attempt to negotiate and navigate the space between the physical and the imaginary, between that which is tangible and that which is not.

Every Object or Person has at least a double history, one internal and almost secret and another which we project onto it.

In this case, the mattress documents on its rips and stains the the solitary intimacy of all who abandoned themselves there and left marks which are difficult to read, allusions to events that we can only imagine but we all somehow share.

Its counterpart is the image projected onto it, of someone who, before sleep but after wakefulness, stares at the ceiling, and when he does this he realizes that he abandons the image he himself projects, and that in so doing, in some way, he becomes a cloud, or a particle of a could, that he will wake tomorrow and be one again.
