Armando Andrade Tudela’s exhibition at Proyecto AMIL, Tres Mitades, makes constant and subtle reference to ‘Las Tres Mitades de Ino Moxo y Otros Brujos de la Amazonía’, a book that chronicles a geographic and mystic trip into the jungle, written in 1981 by the Peruvian poet Cesar Calvo.
While the presence of literary references is common in contemporary visual arts production, rarely is the contrary exercise proposed. It’s precisely this experimenting and taking further the literary reminiscences present in the exhibition, that Proyecto AMIL invites Max Hernandez (curator and artist), Giuliana Vidarte (curator and scholar) and Rodrigo Quijano (curator and poet), to occupy the different gallery spaces and turn them into places of active listening through the reading of texts inspired by the work of Calvo.
Being faithful to the circular narrative of ‘Las Tres Mitades de Ino Moxo …’ and following Susan Sontag’s call for subjective responses to works of art, we invite the audience to join us on a night in which the potential of poetry reading to connect in a sensuous way to the exhibition will be explored, avoiding closed interpretations and discourses.
