Site specific installation – ALBO program for contemporary art – Modern Art Museum Medellin CO.
Curated by Oscar Roldan Alzate
Nov. 2012 – April 2013
Being striken by Jose Saramago’s book ‘Ensayo sobre la Ceguera’ (‘Essay on Blindness’) and his description of blindness ( …is like a sea of milk), I take this statement as conceptual starting point.
My proposal for the ALBO project departs from the bright characteristics of the space, a big room naturally lit by a large window.
My intention is to stimulate the natural light entering into the space through a series of interventions and objects placed in–situ.
Making use of artificial light spots and mirrors situated on specific locations and visual angles, I’m seeking to produce a state of temporary blindness in the eyes of the visitor.
The excess of light stimulates the presence of photons and their color aspect is in the eyes of the visitor. The spectrum of complementary colors are also reflected on some of the architecture elements in the room, enhancing the bright hue in the room by painting the elements.
I take the general setting of the installation as an informational site, a place that is link to other places, places that I had experienced, and most of them landscape related.

“Joining Horizons” – Juan Duque 2012
The different programs activated in the former prison of Neukölln, where the human body has always been in a condition of enclosure, have struck me to a great extent (architecture against the body as a violent act).
I’m interested in the concept of membrane as a filter, as a physical object where solutions and matter have left a permanent print during the process of traveling from one solution into another.
I wonder how textiles and fabrics considered as in-between surfaces mediate the contact. How they keep, protect and make these cells more human?
Space and bodies affect each other during daily routines. In this specific situation the clothing (bed, towels, rug, cloth, …) the membranes keep the traces of this constant presence in the space. The wearing out after cleaning, eroding, placing and wearing, …

The group show “Once upon a time in the future“ is an homage to the late lamented artist Mike Kelley. In the exhibition, the viewer encounters objects and sceneries that seem as much familiar as strange and therefore suspect and sinister. Paradoxes, odd things and the apparently incomprehensible are the stuff a fictional dream world is made of. This dream world, however, draws from a oh-so-normal everyday life, from a repressed reality. The combination of imagined memories and wishes for the future evokes a sense of nostalgia and vague fears and confront people with their vanities, deep-seated desires and utopias.
