Ardez
proyectoamil is pleased to invite you for the upcoming exhibitions featuring the work of renowned artists Richard Tuttle and Ivan Argote. Additionally, we are excited to introduce the first exhibition of the talented young artist, Noah Igartua. We have curated a diverse selection of artists spanning various generations, countries, and artistic practices to present their work at our exhibition and residency space in Ardez. We are also thrilled to once again offer a delightful culinary experience curated by the food and arts collective, Colectivo Amasijo.
proyectoamil is a mobile and fluid contemporary art platform that operates both in Lima, Peru and Ardez, Switzerland and serves as a bridge between the Peruvian and international art scenes. Since founded in 2010, we have developed artistic, editorial, residency and educational programs. We host, produce, and commission exhibitions, artistic interventions, and performances. Our sustained experimental and collaborative public program, manifests as discussions, screenings, performances, concerts, workshops, and an annual educational laboratory for young artists.
Richard Tuttle (New Jersey, 1941) Since the mid-1960s, he has created an extraordinarily varied body of work that eludes historical or stylistic categorization. Tuttle’s work exists in the space between painting, sculpture, poetry, assemblage, and drawing. He draws beauty out of humble materials, reflecting the fragility of the world in his poetic works. Without a specific reference point, his investigations of line, volume, color, texture, shape, and form are imbued with a sense of spirituality and informed by a deep intellectual curiosity. Language, spatial relationship, and scale are also central concerns for the artist, who maintains an acute awareness for the viewer’s aesthetic experience.
Iván Argote (Colombia, 1983) lives and works in Paris. In his work, the artist deals with the way that man relates to the myriad of changes that take place daily in the historical, economic, political and moral realms. His aim is to question the role of subjectivity in the revision of these concepts. Argote involves the body and emotions in the construction of his thinking, and develops methods to generate reflections on the way we construct certainty in relation with politics and history. By creating interventions and performances for the public space, which are sometimes further developed in the format of films and installations, the artist explores the city as a space of transformation. His work has been shown around the world.
Noah Igartua
Noah is a young British Peruvian artist, based in Bristol whose work transcends traditional comic art. Utilizing markers, he crafts dynamic, superhero-inspired narratives that leap off the page with vivid energy and a unique style.
colectivo amasijo (Mexico)
They are a group of women of various ages and professions who believe in the power of collective cooking to nurture the environment, relationships, and self-care. By celebrating diversity and drawing inspiration from nature’s cycles, they aim to challenge the culture of scarcity. They listen to non-dominant, land-based narratives to understand the real cost of climate change and to guide efforts toward earth regeneration. Their daily activities highlight the interdependence of culture and territory, viewing food as a network of interconnected relationships.
