Continuing with its initiative to recognize a Colombian artist under the age of 35, with the objective of projecting his/her career onto the national and international scenes, the Fundación Sara Modiano para las Artes granted in recent days the third version of the Sara Modiano Award to the C.A.R.N.Experimento artistic group. Formed by international curators Cecilia Fajardo, Francine Birbragher, and Carlos E. Palacios, the jury chose C.A.R.N.Experimento as the winner of the event for its performance titled Epithelium. The artistic group received a purse to develop an artistic project, was also given access to a diverse panel of mentors for the duration of the creative process and a space in which to exhibit the final work—presented on September 8 and 9 at the Centro Cultural Espacio Odeón. Speaking about the decision, Los Angeles-based curator Cecilia Fajardo said that "We believe that Epithelium by the C.A.R.N.Experimento artistic group represented the best, most complete and relevant proposal out of all the projects submitted. The work is at the crossroads where stage art, music, and the visual arts meet and, consequently, proposes a series of actions that establish a dialog between body, sound and image. [Epithelium] addressed an important theme of our reality: the way in which our body is mediatized and unable to feel and to express." Epithelium is a work moving, unfolding, in real time. According to Jennyfer Caro, a member of the C.A.R.N.Experimento artistic group, "This is an instinctive, cannibalistic and introspective exploration meant to stir tissue, flesh and bones, while devouring itself like the body continuously does in in-permanence." Formed in 2011, the C.A.R.N.Experimento group is a multidisciplinary research and creative project centered on the body and its physical configuration as matter, underscoring sociopolitical, cultural, subjective, and instinctive interests. The winner of the Sara Modiano Award is selected through a private call headed by curator José Roca. The selection process is entrusted to a jury panel formed by members of some of the most representative groups within the art world, including: Eugenio Valdez, Cecilia Fajardo, Oscar Roldan, Alejandro Martin, Celia Birbragher, Claudia Hakim, and María José Arjona, among others.
