Fashionista: Have you gone mad? What about fashion? Shopping? Art?
Retired artist: That will all change. You’ll be wearing second-hand clothes and probably you’ll have to make your own shoes at the communal shoe-making workshop. Shopping will be a form of barter where you’ll meet at communal marketplaces or arcades, huge flea markets at the heart of every neighborhood, where money is obsolete. Art…?? What’s that?
Fashionista: So what do you do now that you’re retired?
Retired Artist: Everything else
Fashionista: But art?
Retired Artist: What’s that?
Sandra Palomar exhibits new work drawn from past pieces made throughout twelve years of art practice in various media, encompassing the main space of MO_Space and flowing into public spaces. In the video room will be presented works of other artists from different persuasions and her discussions with them, giving insight into her ongoing reflections on art.
The gallery will be transformed into a black box and immersed in semi-darkness for the duration of the exhibit.
Invitational workshops will happen on January 3, 6, 20 and 24, 2010 and informal discussions will be conducted throughout the show.
Presented in three parts, the exhibition can only be viewed by appointment in consideration of the technical and content specificity of the works and in specific address to the space.
