¿Me quieres seguir? ¿En qué dirección?

Entering and leaving; going and coming back; departing and returning. The thresh-old is this intermediate place in which the creative process could be located; a place without beginning nor end. Instituto de Visión presents a dialogue between the art-ists Miguel Angel Huertas (Bogotá, 1959) and Ana Roldán (México D.F, 1977) who, through diverse topics, have been working on and from the revision of their personal archive. Although it might seem innocuous it becomes a central element for reflexion: which is the direction that an artist should follow if going forward often means looking back?. They both have been in this threshold of incertitude because it is from there that the surface can be overcome -the surface of matter and that of concepts.

For Miguel Huertas drawing is an extension of oneself and he has manage to under-stand it in the most complex manner: as a paradoxical object reduced to its minimal expression, as a draft drawn on a plane that becomes tri-dimensional, as a story in which every piece is a signal of life or a gesture, as a surface full of layers, layers of sketches, layers of textures, layers of beginnings and of ends.

Ana Roldán reflects on duality to develop a body of work that presents contrasts, reflexions and symbols; works that avoid absolutes and manage to transform the question in the answer that the viewer might be searching trough his appreciation of life and his creative experience. The artists ventures into the realms of philosophy and psychoanalysis to enable doubts about the commodified body. The animal or human body sometimes denies itself, fragments itself or is abstracted to become an experience of positives and negatives, of whites and blacks.
