Concrete Palimpsest / Marcelo Moscheta

In the action at LEME gallery on December 16th, 2011, the empty space at 88 Agostinho Cantú Street is treated as history. The concrete cube has nothing exposed in it and the memory of all the shows accomplished there mournfully echoes in each shake of the piling machine of the next door building - the main reason of the forcible departure from that place. In this cold and hard space, reality is [un]folded into two, past and present coexist simultaneously as in a “miscalculation” of the architect, a spacial and temporal parallax. In a process of transition from one place to another, many are the resemblances between the artist and the archeologist's work. Collecting, classifying and reordering the world according to new patterns, are their task, just like the immersion and the understanding of the past culture and of all of its symbols and signs.

A world undone / Nicholas Mangan

A World Undone delves into Zircon, a 4,400 Million year old mineral that has been unearthed within some of the earth’s earliest crust in Western Australia’s extremely remote Jack Hills. The project gathered a small sample of the geological material to be crushed and reduced to dust, disaggregating the very matter that it was comprised of. The dust was filmed, airborne, by a camera that captures movement at a speed of 2500 frames per second. The airborne dust elicits an image of the earth’s crust dematerializing, a rear vision view of the earth’s becoming; an inverted cosmos. In the words of founding Geologist James Hutton, the so-called discoverer of deep-time; “No vestige of a beginning - no prospect of an end”.

The gravity of my orbit around you, Nicolás Bacal.

The images are the photographic result of an imaginary situation in which different people decide to build and photograph on their bedrooms, a sculptural intervention made with measuring tapes. The work is performed in the most domestic way possible. Thus, the tools used to build the Hypernova are inside the picture. Similarly, the lighting is done with standard electrical artifacts (lamps, candles, light bulbs, portable flashes). While the picture seems to suggest having been taken by the same person who built and lit this obsessive domestic sun, the scene could also represent the power of thoughts and idealizations in our bedrooms. Thus, the person sitting in bed reading a book becomes a metric explotion or a sun burst.
