Monika Weiss, Sara Modiano, Graciela Fuentes
Remy Toledo Gallery
529 W 20th StRemy Toledo Gallery/ Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of three women artists “Between Body and Language” featuring Graciela Fuentes, Sara Modiano and Monika Weiss.
Multi-media works presented in this exhibition explore the private and public feminine body and its relation to language and meaning. Graciela Fuentes’ cprint images “Habitaciones (Rooms)” explore the domestic space of 10 individuals, their private spaces projected in body parts. Her video installation “Saida, Asra”, focuses on two young girls as they dance during a family event . Her work brings to the unsuspecting viewer an insight into the metamorphosis of the dancers from girlhood to womanhood as they cross this threshold filled with self awareness.
Sara Modiano’s sculptural installation “Me, Myself and I”, part of a series called “Encounter with the Soul” employs the artist’s face hidden inside a module which through multiplication creates a voluminous sculptural photograph that simultaneously entraps and explodes beyond itself, exposing the brink of presence and absence.
Monika Weiss’ video projection “Fall-Keimai” is based on several minutes chosen from many days of her intimate video performance where the artist repeatedly covers her body with leaves, and is accompanied by a soundscape that the artist composed from the sounds of falling leaves. Her diptych “Leukos” also evokes the sense of solitary immersion in foreign media. The image of the body and self is altered and partially erased as a way to present the void of being here and being absent simultaneously.
