Casas Riegner is pleased to announce “Hecho a mano, el oficio en el arte”, a group exhibition featuring works by artists from Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and the United States.
Showcasing works by twenty artists working in diverse media, the exhibition seeks to re-examine the concept of craftsmanship within current artistic practices. As suggested by the title, the exhibition presents artworks that evidence the “artist’s touch” in a variety of different ways, thus attempting to confirm the validity of this notion within contemporary-conceptual artistic productions.
Drawing, folding, cutting and knitting are just a few of the actions—all of which imply the artist’s manual engagement with his/her chosen media— carried out by some of the artists for the creation of works that deserve to be scrutinized and carefully contemplated.
Artists: Emilia Azcarate (Venezuela), José Antonio Suárez Londoño (Colombia), Johanna Calle (Colombia), Maria Fernanda Plata (Colombia), Alessandro Balteo Yazbeck (Venezuela), Maria Fernanda Cardoso (Colombia), Daniel Medina (Venezuela), Daniel Alcalá (Mexico), Juan Manuel Ramírez (Colombia), Mateo López (Colombia), Gabriel Sierra (Colombia), Hisae Ikenaga (México), Tony Cruz (Puerto Rico), Marilá Dardot (Brazil), Ana Tiscornia (Uruguay), Eliana Pérez (Colombia), Carla Zaccagnini (Argentina), Ricardo Lanzarini (Uruguay), Frances Trombly (United States), Mauricio Lupini (Venezuela).
