In Praise of Magic: 7/09 - 7/11, 2021
IN-PERSON SHOW
featuring work by Mônica Lóss, Vanessa Freitag , María de los Vientos, Jimena Schlaepfer , María Yolanda Liebana, and Sandra Lapage
The exhibition “In Praise of Magic” presents the work of six Latin American artists scattered across the Americas: Mônica Lóss (Brazil/USA), Vanessa Freitag (Brazil/Mexico), María de los Vientos (Colombia/Brazil), Jimena Schlaepfer (Mexico), María Yolanda Liebana (United States) and me, Sandra Lapage (Brazil). This group of artists seem to me to be interested in the contemplation of cosmogonies, incorporations, ornamentation, tactile sensuality, and involvement in wearable sculptures. All get engulfed, in a way, in the materiality of their creations to access different spheres, exemplifying the creative process as shamanic, in an attempt to diminish the separation between mind and universe, individual and nature.
Presented at PARADICE PALASE, 1260 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY
