Bayos Negros Dormidos

Curated by Jesu Antuña

April 4th – May 2nd, opening on Friday, April 4th from 18h

To coincide with this year’s Sant Jordi celebrations, Agustina will hold an informal talk about her various books and publications. All welcome, join us at Tangent Projects gallery on April 23rd from 19h

For several years now, Agustina Fioretti has been creating strange objects and images that resist recognition and taxonomic classification. This is not only due to the materials she uses—horsehair and bird feathers—which imbue her works with ambiguous traces of animality, but also because of her reuse of elements from the world of construction. 

Agustina displaces things from their original context, generating a shift that allows her to produce new machinic-animal assemblages: neither horses nor birds, yet both at once, the cyborg emerges from the fusion of the technical and the animal, from the life of objects. 

What futures might arise from nests built with horsehair? What promises of monstrosity are announced in these futures?
