Mobilize
Mobilize is an exhibition in which Amalia Pica and Otto Berchem collaborate to create an installation from two pieces, Stabille and Revolver. Through a conversation, they reflect on the limits of a work, authorship and originality. The resulting installation, called Mobilize, captures a specific moment of a cascade of paper being thrown into the wind. Amalia Pica relates this piece to her interest in the bureaucratic processes that interrupt the flows of contemporary subjects. For his part, Otto Berchem uses Mobilize as an experiment to continue investigating the plastic characteristics of modern artistic and social movements in Latin America.
Mobilize is an exercise of cooperation between two friends. Starting from two pieces: Stabile (with conffeti) and Revolver (Universidad Nacional) whose formal results seem to be a coincidence yet point towards different meanings; Amalia and Otto began a conversation about the limits of a work, authorship, generosity and originality.The result of this negotiation is an installation entitled Mobilize. This work captures a fleeting moment of a cascade of falling papers that could be read through both Pica’s or Berchem’s logic. For Amalia Pica, Mobilizeis related to her previous works in that it refers to her constant intrigue about painful bureaucratic processes that interrupt, in a successful attempt of control, the flow of contemporary subjects.In Otto Berchem’s case, Mobilizefunctions as a formal experiment in which his Revolver (National Museum) video becomes a sculptural piece, and allows him to continue to inquire about the visual characteristics of modern and social movements in Latin America.From this piece, additional recent works from Pica and Berchem interlock and revolve around contradictions, common interests and visual inclinations.
