LMAKgallery is pleased to present Unmappings, a solo exhibition by Nayda CollazoLlorens. On view will be a new series of works furthering Collazo-Llorens’ ongoing explorations on concepts of perception, navigation and mapping. The artist brings together existing and unchartered territories as she unravels that which is found, remembered and imagined.
The wall installation, Geo Dis/connect #4 incorporates a sampling approach through which collected maps and charts have been sliced and remixed. In this case, the artist combines lunar charts with nautical and aeronautical charts of the Caribbean region, adding curved areas of solid color that function as spotlights or highlights as well as cover-ups or concealers of information. The 360 framed images that make up Geo Dis/connect #4 offer a view of a landscape that has been shifted and dislocated. Its scrambled cartographic data renders traditional navigation obsolete. Unmappings also includes a new series of smaller scale works on paper. These...are an intimate and intuitive collection of marks, fictitious landmasses, and found maps, charts, images and documents that have been intervened by the artist. Less specifically grounded in geography, these works expand in multiple directions and focus. Nonobjective marks coexist with traces of remembered movements, invented sites, pseudoscience and shifted cartographic conventions. Through these works—some functioning as images, others as artifacts—Collazo-Llorens investigates and surveys a series of elusive coordinates as they drift in time and space
