epigenesis: memoria epigentica

sctructural synergies: bases

Artered Gallery takes the opportunity to showcase the work on structural synergies through the work of two artists: Adrián Guerrero Sculptures in Ceramics an installation of the "Bases" series, and Siro "Epigenetics" Drawings, Ink and Resin on rubber canvas.

Siro, Chile. Siro’s work is developed through two parallel paths. There is a deep interest in the mysteries of biology and the creation of life, and an exploration in the architectural spatial organization, also as if it were a living entity. Siro has taken part in several group exhibitions as Circuits XII (Spain-NewYork), ARCO 07, XIII Biennale Puglia – Italy.

“Epigenesis” is a body of work that is part of the line of reflection of Siro around the phenomenon of the material expression of the mental and emotional aspects of the human being; how the immaterial is expressed in matter or body.

This work is about the concept of Epigenetics. This scientific premise establishes the human genes are expressed in one way or another depending on factors external to their DNA, and those external factors ranging from the type of power that a person leads to the relations established with others or with their life circumstances, their levels of stress or well-being, and how not, their way of thinking and feeling. Thus the life a person lives; the level of consciousness, actions, emotions and beliefs will generate an imprint in their genes that will condition its expression, anatomical, biological, psychological and emotional. But this information is inherited and is received as an inheritance.

Siro sets this emotional historical observation about a medium that by its texture refers to it to the touch of the skin, where space is a meeting place in the emotional and the psychological with structures and fluids which sometimes bring us more biological or physical sensations and sometimes to some character more etheric or subtle.

"The drawing as a direct, simple and clean technique enables me to explore and search the course of the history of my own family tree, giving it the shape into these “Mechanic-Organic” compositions that intertwine, disperse, contract and transform.

However, I feel that over time all these structures, chains, wires, fluids, ethers and claws, have gone further than my auto-reflection and auto-exploration body of work, to extend from my vision and work as an artist, to the human body, as metaphors for a relational space, which is common to all human beings, and in turn corresponds to an intimate, invisible space; unique of our own being shaped as well as to that mysterious epigenetics information, which will lead to each person on a vital road given at birth, but sensible that can be modified at will to its own and common well-being ".

Adrián Guerrero, born in Guadalajara, Mexico; Since 1990, he has been going deeper into the research of the XVI Century Mexican ceramics.

Confrontation and irony are the platforms for the portrait of his immediate milieu, in the social and the idiosyncratic layers of life. The series “Bases”, showcases the sets of series of beliefs that we discover and unravel through time is what holds up our thoughts in an ordered way. This allows us to go on building personal ideologies as stable and balanced structures. This idea is where I take this piece from an unit with three supports points that taken to Physics is the least number of sustaining points to achieve stability, mostly when standing on uneven surfaces.

Philosophically speaking, our mental structures are often sustained in three supporting references too. And time, even though it could be thought as only one, is also past, present, and future. Whereas space has three dimensions: height, width and bottom, as matter does too from physical point of view: solid, liquid, and gas. In consequence, it can be a triad that carried to the level of the divine may also find a direct relation with that trinity that can be a constant in religion.

"The invisable conserved that modifies the expressed"

“Epigenesis” is a body of work that is part of the line of reflection of Siro around the phenomenon of the material expression of the mental and emotional aspects of the human being; how the immaterial is expressed in matter or body.

Expression in the material world of the intangible aspects of life (living) or humans. Series of works done on canvas, paper, wood and leather, as records of the evolution of interpersonal relationships in the structure of a trans-generational family system and/or more common (family tree / family constellation). Through this work Siro studies the symbolic value of different aspects of the development of the structure of relationships transformed through time, which is conditioned by both material and intangible aspects in its origin and in its development. It works around the general structure of the relationships and the characters involved; around each character, and about the different types of links which are established, and about the meaning or metaphor those links, connections and characters represented.

Somatization (the physical expression of the invisible-intangible)(body), LAPIS shadow (Fear: shadow on ideas, beliefs) (Stone), and DOMUS attachment(survival-protection mechanisms) (Home).

Transmission of Thought - 

Fascinated by the fanciful potentiality of mundane, everyday objects, Ivan Rickenmann’s work zooms in on domestic technology and asks the question, how do circuits, cables, and otherwise aesthetically cumbersome features of modern life transcend prosaic utilitarianism?

His paintings engage with a strikingly contemporary concern: how to reconcile the human world with that of the technologies that consume our lives. The exhibition transcended the structures, connection, disconnection, ideological trends, functionality, identity and entering modernity within the context of "Hybrid" cultures by Néstor García Canclini. --"Hybrid Cultures was foundational to Latin American cultural studies. This now-classic work features a new introduction in which Nestor calls for a cultural politics to contain the damaging effects of globalization and responds to relevant theoretical developments over the past decade. Néstor García Canclini questions whether Latin America can compete in a global marketplace without losing its cultural identity. He moves with ease from the ideas of Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault to economic analysis, from appraisals of the exchanges between Octavio Paz and Jorge Luis Borges to Chicano film and grafitti. Hybrid Cultures at once clarifies the development of democratic institutions in Latin America and reveals that the most destructive ideological trends are still going strong."
