Descripción de la Exposición
The departing point for this second duo show of Angyvir Padilla and Yoel Pytowski is their common interest in migration and diaspora through the lens of geology. A tale on the journey of one rock, from its underground birth until its erosion and re-birth by sedimenting, structures the show.
In their solo practices, Padilla and Pytowski have shown a particular interest in immersive installations. For Padilla, those can be objects about very mundane structures, ready to be activated by the artist or to submerge the viewer in a holistic environment. Pytowski has been particularly interested in intervening in the architecture of exhibition spaces - reconfiguring, rebuilding, and re-imagining them.
