Untitled Artist Car

Collaborative piece

What are the spaces that the artists used for the creations were the first point in creating this piece. What spaces do we use, where are those spaces and how many spaces do I need to create? Based on these thoughts, we decided to use the car to answer those questions. We created an installation with the artist's car as a starting point. We filled the car, as much as we could with objects and materials that Melina and I were accumulating in our studios. We were transporting all those elements from these two different points and organizing them inside of the car. The idea was to fill the car as much as we could but always take care of the materials and objects, taking care of the weights and sizes, in a way that nothing could break. In this process, we created a list with all the materials that we were putting inside of the car, creating an organized chaos inside of this space. After the installation, we recorded a video of the process of removing all these elements from the car.

Wood, speaker, plastic, Ipad and cables

This project emerged from the idea of creating an art piece doing minimal intervention. The wood shelf, a found object from a second-hand store, has been modified, intervening in the structure. By hand, the wood has been cut, creating a specific space for the speaker. Element that could not fit if it weren´t because of this intervention. This process of modifying the shelve has been recorded, the sound of the the wood saw cutting the wood and the sound of the wood breaking is played by the speaker. This speaker, which is an old speaker, is connected to an iPad that shows the record of the sound and the location where it was recorded, as part of the process. The cables and connections are part of this piece, we don´t try to hide these elements and are presented as a process. Over this shelf, there´s a thin plastic that covers it. This plastic has been modified through a heat gun, melting the plastic in some of the corners, creating a coverage that fits perfectly to the shelf.

Text-Based Sculpture : “Ñ”

Video-Installation

Dimensions Variable

This piece emerged from the idea of researching libraries as public spaces for the preservation of knowledge and thoughts through words. I investigated the public libraries closest to my home, all within a 5-mile radius, and identified 10 libraries: Main Library, Culmer Overtown Branch Library, Hispanic Branch, Civic Center Branch, Shenandoah Branch Library, South Shore Branch Library, Allapattah Branch Library, Miami Beach Regional Library, Coconut Grove Branch Library, and Lemon City Branch Library. I visited these libraries and borrowed all the books I was allowed to. These books, written in Spanish, my first language, were taken outside the libraries and installed on the floor as part of the installation.

In addition to the books, there is a second element to this piece: a video projected onto the books and a section of the wall. This video documents my screen as I navigate the directions to reach these different library addresses. The video includes sound, capturing the sound of me typing the letters, creating an immersive environment around these piles of books.

Through this installation, my aim is to explore different modes of communication, contrasting digital and traditional methods of writing, contemplating the presence of books in various languages within libraries, reflecting on the current status and function of libraries, and utilizing words and text to guide and provide directions.

# Text based sculpture : “Less than 5 miles” Video and Audio

Dimensions Variable

In response to and as a continuation of the previous piece, I created "Less than 5 Miles," a digital artwork presented in the physical format of a QR code. When scanned by a phone, this QR code redirects users to an audio recording featuring my voice reading the directions I had typed in the previous piece, "Ñ." As an integral part of this artwork, the audio can be downloaded by anyone, allowing the public to listen to and follow these instructions. Additionally, alongside the audio, viewers can also download the 42’ video that was projected on the wall during the installation.

This piece represents an exploration into new modes of communication, incorporating QR codes and the use of letters and words within them. It signifies a departure from my usual artistic production, prompting me to delve into the processes involved in creating QR codes and digital media.

# Radical Theory and Practice: Final : Between Emptiness 2

Plaster

Dimensions variable

"Between Emptiness 1" and "Between Emptiness 2" are distinct yet interconnected artworks. These two pieces, although separate entities, are related, establishing a profound connection between them. They are displayed on adjacent walls, inviting the viewer to walk the space in between. The principal elements binding these pieces together are the lamps and their various components.

On one side, lampshades, each halved and affixed to the wall, are complemented by plaster bulbs resting on the floor under them. On the opposite wall, the remnants of these lamps, specifically the bases, are visible, also made on plaster. These pieces were created using different techniques, one involved the use of two silicon molds, while the other utilized plaster molds. Despite these varied methods, both artworks presents plaster and embrace the presence of voids and gaps, mirroring the space between them.

The lamps employed in these artworks are old, second-hand , that evoke a sense of home, domesticity, family, and particularly remind me of my grandparents. Through these pieces, I aim to explore the themes of memory, the feeling of being in between, and the observation of empty spaces that surround us.

#Radical Manifesto Final

(Untitled) manifesto

Glass and ink

Using pieces of glass as a response to the question what is a manifesto? is a manifesto forever? What is my own manifesto? What I want to express? , I decided to write the alphabet on glass pieces. Every single piece, even the smallest ones, has a letter written by hand on ink on it. All written in the same face of the glass. This pieces are presented on the floor, in a small mountain. Because of the materiality of the glass, it needs a participation of the viewer to get closer to see the actual letters that are written . I wanted to show a manifesto that could be anything, that can be created and at the same time is already broken, but with millions of possibilities. I present something fragile , sharp and that can hurt, but that invites to get closer and invites to create.
