Ardez
This summer, proyectoamil presents three parallel exhibitions in Ardez featuring works by Tania Candiani, León Ferrari and Sara Flores.
Spanning painting, sculpture, video, sound and mixed media, the exhibitions reflect on forms of transmission, collective memory and systems of knowledge that exist beyond fixed or anthropocentric ways of understanding the world.
In Pulso, Tania Candiani presents a three-channel video installation originating from a large-scale collective action carried out across the Mexico City Metro in 2016. More than 200 women traversed the twelve metro lines playing drums and pre-Hispanic percussion instruments, generating a rhythmic pulse extending across the city. Conceived through sound, movement and collective synchrony, the work connects urban infrastructure, memory, water and the body through a shared temporal structure. The presentation also includes a mixed media work based on a press image documenting political demonstrations in Chile.
León Ferrari, recipient of the Golden Lion at the 2007 Venice Biennale for Los músicos, developed a practice that moved across drawing, sculpture, writing and conceptual forms, constantly challenging the limits and definitions of art. In the installation, Ferrari uses expanded polyurethane foam to create a group of human-scale forms oscillating between abstraction and figuration. The work brings together musicians and a solitary spectator, continuing Ferrari’s longstanding interest in experimentation, material transformation and instability as both a formal and conceptual condition.
Drawing from kené designs of the Shipibo-Konibo-Xetebo tradition, Sara Flores imagines a possible flag shaped through other systems of knowledge and perception. Built from geometric patterns painted with natural dyes, the work proposes forms of identity and sovereignty rooted in ancestral knowledge, the natural world and practices of reciprocity rather than imposed political structures. The exhibition recontextualizes a body of works previously presented at the Museo de Arte de Lima through a new spatial and museographic approach developed for proyectoamil Ardez. The presentation follows Flores’s recent participation in the Venice Biennale and continues her ongoing exploration of kené as both a visual language and a living system of knowledge.
The opening on 25 July will be accompanied by colectivo amasijo, marking its fifth year of collaboration with proyectoamil in Engadine. Through shared meals and gatherings held throughout the exhibition, the collective approaches celebrations as an opportunity to create bonds, foster relationships, strengthen surrounding communities, and care for the territory.
A Summer Music Festival, “SONORA Engadine,” curated by Juan María Braceras, will take place from 7–9 August, bringing together traditional, classical, and experimental music.
