Descripción del Artista

El trabajo de Teresa Solar Abboud gira en torno a prácticas heterogéneas que se materializan en obras audiovisuales y escultóricas, en las que los lenguajes de las dos disciplinas se conectan e interactúan. Sus proyectos, estructurados alrededor de personajes o agentes catalizadores, se caracterizan por ser de larga duración y desarrollarse en diferentes fases y manifestaciones. Dentro de esta constelación de personajes cabe destacar el trabajo con Lawrence de Arabia y con el fotógrafo Harold Edgerton, que le permiten hablar de ejes temáticos transversales en su obra, como la figura del pionero y del extranjero. Sus trabajos escultóricos están estrechamente ligados a sus proyectos audiovisuales. Muchos de los elementos que utiliza, como decorados y atrezzo, para sus películas funcionan posteriormente como esculturas y viceversa. Teresa Solar explora la doble naturaleza de estos elementos, visitados a través de la mirada parcial de la cámara y que, posteriormente, cobran una nueva entidad en la sala. ---------------------------------------------------------- Bio (English) Teresa Solar Abboud (Madrid, Spain 1985) works across sculpture, video, drawing and photography. Her audio-visual practice has been mostly focused on language, translation, and the construction of meaning. These topics remain at the core of her practice, but nowadays they are tackled mainly through sculpture. The tactile quality is fundamental in the artist’s sculptural practice, which focuses mainly on ceramics but also includes materials like fabric, polyurethane foam, or metal. Solar Abboud’s imaginary has a strong narrative drive and her creative process often begins with the discovery of a story or an idea that she later explores in depth. Her exhibitions usually function as an entire whole, creating complex worlds that either draw from literary works of fiction, Natural History or more terrestrial narratives that are close to her personal story. Her exhibition ‘Flotation Line’ at Der Tank in Basel drew from universal works such as Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan and Herman Melville’s Moby Dick while in ‘Ride, ride, ride’ at Matadero Madrid the central figure is Nut, the Goddess of the Night in Ancient Egypt, a celestial creature that connects to her family history. The daughter of a Spanish father and an Egyptian mother, Solar Abboud speaks Arabic, but she can’t read or write it, and this circumstance has greatly imbued her work, in which everything is a game with transit, language and its changing translation processes. The cultural and linguistic implications of her dual identity are palpable in her work as she constantly explores the transformation of matter, her objects constituting a hybrid between the manmade, the natural and the mythical. Teresa Solar Abboud studied Fine Arts in Madrid and later graduated with an MA in Cultural Studies from UEM (Universidad Europea de Madrid). Her solo show ‘Ride, Ride, Ride’ is on display until 29 July at Matadero Madrid. She is also participating in the group show ‘Blind Faith: Between the Visceral and the Cognitive in Contemporary Art’, Haus der Kunst, Münich, which continues until 19 August, while her work Pumping Station will be on view at KölnSkulptur #9 curated by Chus Martínez at Cologne Sculpture Park, until June 2019. Solar Abboud’s work has also been shown at Der TANK, Institut Kunst in Basel; Fundación Marcelino Botín, Santander; Maxxi, Rome; General Public in Berlin; Kunstverein München; CA2M, Madrid and La Casa Encendida, Madrid. She was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart and a Finalist at the Rolex Mentor & Protégé initiative both in 2016. In 2018 she took part in the expedition “The Current” organized by TBA21-Academy and she conducted the workshop ‘White Whale, Palace of a Thousand Courtyards’, at Tabakalera San Sebastián.
