Marta Chilindrón
The Museum of Latin American Art in Los Angeles presents Marta Chilindrón: Integral Geometries, an exhibition that reflects the Argentine interest in geometric shapes, materials, and the relationship between perspective and sculpture.
Chilindrón began to experiment with modular shapes in the 1970s, and later, in the 1990s, she worked with Eduardo Costa in conceptual projects that moved her towards public-space interventions and experiments in painting, as in the case of her couture items created using dried acrylic paint.
The show comprises both older and new works, including a series of scaled models that can be manipulated to understand the sculptures' systems for unfolding.
Included in the exhibition are Mesa y silla (2000), example of Chilindrón's experimentation with furniture and modular objects; Nube, a hanging sculpture from 2009; Cubo 48, which consists of polycarbonate sheets in individual geometric shapes, joined by hinges; and current constructions using two-dimensional hinges that challenge the viewer's perception of space, among others.
Marta Chilidrón: Integral Geometries will be open to the public at the MOLAA Project Room through July 7th, 2013.
