Nicolás Guagnini "Power Structure "
Andrew Roth
This event has ended.
Andrew Roth is pleased to announce the opening of Power Structure by Nicolás Guagnini. For his third exhibition at ROTH, Guagnini brings together a consortium of his peers – both contemporary and historically relevant artists – to illuminate his work Power Structure “just because [he] can…”
Power Structure is both a one-person and a group exhibition, curated by Guagnini and including his own work: the centerpiece around which all other works are circumscribed. Power Structure consists of a skeletal wood construction acting as a tenuous support for assorted (13) cultural ephemera collected by or sent to Guagnini: a business card; letters addressed to Guagnini from museum, gallery, art magazine, or university administration; invitations; a Polaroid.
The ephemera on display traces the power structure to which Guagnini – as an artist, writer, and professor – subscribes and is subjected to. Since he identifies with the invisible core of this legitimization and the critical importance of relationships between artists, the works in the exhibition by Guagnini’s primary circle of affiliates traces a set of references to larger power structures, as well as a peculiar tribal heterogeneity.
