We are pleased to collaborate with the participation of Peruvian artist Rita Ponce de León in the Aichi Triennale in Japan that will take place between July 30 and October 10, 2022.
The Aichi Triennale is an urban international art festival, held every three years since 2010 across a wide region including the Aichi Arts Center and other city venues. For this year’s edition preparations are underway to build on the achievements of the previous four iterations. The festival will span a wide range of fields, synthetically exhibiting performing art and other forms together with a contemporary art core, and make Aichi Prefecture a beacon of the artistic avant-garde.
The artist Rita Ponce de León is currently studying body-mind techniques for human development at the Argentine organization Río Abierto. She understands working as a way to engage in situations that allow, through artistic and learning processes, the generation of meaningful human bonds.
She has practiced various forms of movement, including Butoh, a form of Japanese dance theatre, and participated in workshops that take body movement as the origin of knowledge and wisdom. She condenses her experiences in movement and learning with others into drawings, sharing her thoughts in the form of visual essays.
Her work has been shown at proyectoamil (2017; Perú), 32nd São Paulo Biennial (2016; Brazil), Kunsthalle Basel (2014; Switzerland), 80M2 Gallery (Lima, Peru), and Museum of Modern Art (Mexico City, Mexico), among other places.
She currently collaborates with Tania Solomonoff (choreographer), Vacaciones de Trabajo (a self-education project), Shinnosuke Niiro (poet), Yaxkin Melchy (poet), and Esparta Martinez and Sakiko Yokoo (dancers and kamishibai picture story show narrators/actors).
