Ximena Alarcón: Huellas al aire (Air Traces)
Mexican artist Ximena Alarcon (Mexico City, 1968) will present Huellas al aire, a sound installation at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellin (MAMM), starting on October 2nd.
Alarcón lives between Mexico, France and Colombia; she studied fashion design and earned a master's degree at the Marangoni Institute in Milan. However, his work focuses on sculpture and plastic arts. Her work explores the notion of space and immaterial volume through geometric and organic formal resources. Her conceptual interests rethink social inequalities, gender conditions, racism, among others.
This exhibition investigates the intersection between the quality of the air in Medellín and the emotional and historical traces of its inhabitants. Thus, it invites the viewer to understand the air as what is breathed, but what intertwines emotions and memories. The artist fuses science, art and technology in an exercise of deep listening and sonification of various data; creating a multisensory experience that seeks to give another perspective to the impact of air in our lives.
Ximena Alarcón has had solo exhibitions at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Querétaro, Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez, Fundación Sebastián, Casa Mérida Contemporary, in Mexico City, as well as at Centro Cultural Santo Domingo, La Alianza Francesa and Instituto Británico de San Juan Lurigancho in Lima, Peru; and at Kaba Niseko Show House, Hokkaido, Japan.
