Tomás Saraceno: Complementarities. Red Brick Art Museum
The exhibition “Tomás Saraceno: Complementarities” will be open to the public at the Red Brick Art Museum until September 7. Curated by Yan Shijie, it presents around one hundred works, making it the largest solo show the Argentine artist has had in this region of Asia.
Saraceno's work addresses the interconnection between ecosystems through interdisciplinary works and research. “Complementarities” suggests how we can adapt to a collaborative future, based on care and hope. This refers to the way in which ancestral communities lived interconnected with both living and non-living beings. Hence, Saraceno worked with local groups, researchers, scientists and institutions to rethink the threads of knowledge in the Capitalocene era in order to seek a more equitable balance between the human, technology and biodiversity.
The works presented include the documentary “Fly with Pacha, towards the Aerocene” directed by Maximiliano Laina and Tomás Saraceno. This project was born in 2017 and is in dialogue with the local communities of Salinas Grandes and Laguna Guayatayoc. The piece highlights that in the Andean culture Pacha is the superior energy that organizes and harmonizes all the inhabitants of the cosmos; so, a sculpture with a message exposes the importance of Pacha mama as a principle in search of balance.
