Mauro Giaconi

The argentinian artist Mauro Giaconi, in its most recent exposure at Arróniz Arte Contemporáneo, presents an installation that part of concepts and techniques from the field of restoration – a field in which you performance during several years – to reflect on concepts related to the nostalgia, to violence and order.

Ethanol, components surfactants, sharp tools and corrosive compresses that break the surface tension of a material, are some of the strategies used to – contrary to the basic principles of the restoration- decompose and fragment the architectural space. Thus building a bridge that confuses the passage of time, stirring the walls to find traces of her past exposure (where intervened the space with a drawing-mural) seeking gestures that crack the space, giving way to an instance chaotic, fragile and ephemeral.
