"I think with my body, I draw with my body, my hands have eyes that spit out lines, shapes, threads and relationships; the images that come out of my hands make me. My body kneads the world. Marina De Caro is an Argentinian visual artist from Buenos Aires, one of the most influential Latin American artists of her generation. She inhabits the world as a painter, a draughtswoman, a dancer, a knitter, a teacher, a performer... She constantly reinvents space, amplifying it with unfamiliar gestures, liberating petrified geometries. She pushes back the limits of the expected to give existence to that which vibrates and invigorates, to that which surprises the norm, the habit, the conventional. To that which disconcerts.
Developing a multi-disciplinary body of work integrating drawing, sculpture and performance, Marina De Caro experiments with notions of space, bodily experience, intuition and emotion within a colorful universe. Her installations unfold in a sensitive, poetic space, often taking the form of flexible, mobile sculptures. Specially created to interact with the viewer-ice/interpreter, these works invite us to experience an unpredictable dimension of everyday life, behavior and bodily and social norms.
