“la trenza – the braid” Exhibition

WHITE BOX

This event has ended.

la trenza – the braid is a project with a feminist perspective, which aims to show that curatorship is a process in which the relationship between artists and curators develops in a personal and political sphere. That is, curatorship as a practice that involves the body and a series of negotiations that constitute a layout or a network that articulates the artists’ production in a discourse that goes beyond the individual and thus allows the articulation of the different devices that are activated during an exhibition: Work, museography, curatorship, space, and socio-historical context.

Traditionally, the curatorial practices have specific guidelines, both in conceptual, theoretical, and historical relationship alongside the exhibition design. These guidelines are marked by the scientific method, which requires a distance from the object being exhibited to allow it to be exhibited or experienced “cleanly or neutrally” (traditionally) in a white cube, in which that color apparently operates as a neutral space. This assumption prioritizes the aesthetic object, leaving out the negotiations and agreements between artist and curator, without recognizing that these decision-making are political positions defining artistic objects.
